Scottish culture and tradition couldn't be more apparent in this elegant former station house that dominates the west end of Princes Street. Inside the immaculate red stone building, service is impeccable and the decor exquisite. The old-fashioned class and luxury attract a steady stream of celebrities. La Pompadour restaurant serves excellent Scottish cuisine, enjoy a traditional Sunday roast at Chisholms,or sample Scottish whiskey at The Caley Bar. The hotel is within easy reach of all the city's attractions.

Hector's

Relaxed atmosphere and fine fare in trendy area 47 Deanhaugh Street
Edinburgh EH4 1LR
United Kingdom
+44 131 332 5328 Located in the trendy environs of bohemian Stockbridge, this eaterie serves quality fare in a contemporary setting. The new decor and sparse layout is brightly lit and welcoming. It's a great place to go for a vast selection of coffees, teas, fruit juices and milk shakes. Or, if you require a different kind of bolstering, there are lots of imported bottled beers and a clutch of cocktails. Food is served until 10pm - the varied menu includes a good old fry up, European dishes like Toulouse sausage and a healthy veggie haggis. Pick up one of the supplied newspapers and enjoy a Sunday Brunch. Between 4.30pm and 7pm on Sunday, there is live Jazz music.

Kaffe Politik

Excellent breakfasts in chequered surroundings 146-148 Marchmont Road
Edinburgh EH9 1AQ
United Kingdom
+44 131 446 9873 This stylishly situated and spacious cafe affords plenty of room for relaxed conversation. The decor has a political theme and combines famous quotations and photos with huge black and white checks. Linger for a while and enjoy their large selection of specialty teas and coffees in an atmosphere of intellectual calm. It's one of the best places to eat breakfast in the city as the menu includes bacon and eggs, Belgian waffles, French toast and delicious porridge (without any lumpy bits!). The breakfast menu is available all day at the weekend and until noon during the week - there's no better way to start a busy day. They also serve fresh salads, tasty pasta dishes and sandwiches.
