Loudons bakery and cafe is located in Fountainbridge. They bake all of their bread and cakes on site and offer an all-day weekend brunch menu that caters for most dietary needs and includes options like American style pancakes, a full breakfast and scrambled eggs and smoked salmon. It is popular so there is sometimes a wait for a table, but it’s worth the wait!

Honeycomb & Co

Honeycomb & Co is located in Merchiston Place and whilst relatively new to the area has quickly built up a loyal following in the Bruntsfield area. Their brunch menu is a real winner mixing classic options with contemporary flavours – highlights include their fruity french toast, spiced Korean bacon and eggs and their signature Honeycomb Full breakfast. Brunch runs from 12 – 4pm at the weekend so booking is advised.
Toast

Toast is located on The Shore and is Leith’s first wine cafe. Toast is open 7 days a week from early to late and has a simple concept; good wine, good food and good friends. Their weekend brunch much like its other food is based around carefully selected local seasonal organic foods with strong Middle Eastern influences and the outside seating overlooks the Shore and is ideal for alfresco dining when the weather gets warmer. Toast is certainly a Hidden Edinburgh favourite!

Slightly further out of the city centre down in Portobello The Skylark is a fun quirky rustic style cafe bar with a relaxed friendly atmosphere. The cafe is open daily and the menu offers French-inspired dishes using locally sourced products. For brunch they have some fantastic croquet options as well as great breakfast items like toasted macadamia granola, smoked haddock chowder and porridge with Ayrshire whole milk.
