Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Luffness

"Possibly one of the most Instagrammable brunch spots in the city, Hula Juice Bar is Edinburgh’s first ever juice bar and healthy eatery designed to feel like an “island in the city”. With its bright interiors and even brighter smoothies, it really does feel like you’ve stepped right into a resort in Bali!. Hula’s dynamic menu offers a whole host of fresh, healthy treats: smoothie bowls topped with fruit and granola, poke bowls filled with grains, beans and veg, and some of the best avo toast around."

"Batting way ahead of the curve, Hula opened its original branch 12 years ago before the clean-living fad caught on. The latest opening in Fountainbridge, ironically enough, occupies the place where a burger joint once was. With vegetarian, vegan and (some) meat options all having a place on Hula’s menu, it has something for everyone."

"Loudons may seem like your average eatery from the outside but they have a speciality - and it’s homemade pancakes!. We’re talking everything from American style with layered bacon and baked banana topped with maple syrup, to the healthier, savoury superfood pancakes that are packed with lentils, veg and delicious garlic pea chutney. Located in Fountainbridge, it is the perfect location for a leisurely walk down the canal to digest your food, with a takeaway coffee in hand."

"For one of the best brunches in Edinburgh, you should definitely visit Loudons at the weekend, when their breakfast menu extends until 4pm. It’s a popular venue with visitors and locals alike, where you can relax and unwind, in a bright and cheery dining room. You can choose from a huge variety on their menu, including cooked breakfasts with Scottish elements like haggis and tattie scones, as well as traditional porridge with various toppings."

"Loudons is a stylish, spacious café in Fountainbridge that's ideal for getting some work done, or just relaxing on one of the comfy couches. They offer home-made breakfasts and cake, with gluten-free and dairy-free choices too. Their cooked breakfasts also come with a choice of brown and gluten-free bread."

"Again, this restaurant knows how to capture an audience with their website photos. The menu looks amazing and it doesn’t appear to be very expensive. The breakfast and brunch menu is served all day and gluten-free options are available upon request."

"A wholesome deli that puts the emphasis on Fairtrade, organic and locally sourced produce, Urban Angel is also a delightfully informal cafe-bistro that serves all-day brunch (porridge with honey, French toast,..."

"Sitting in a New Town basement, Urban Angel comprises a modest café space by the door and interlinked dining rooms towards the back. Since day o ..."

"Papii may not seem like much from outside but this little café has a reputation as one of the best on Hanover Street. Their speciality is ''eggs Papii'': a toasted English muffin, poached free-range eggs and homemade hollandaise sauce (they also do more traditional options like eggs benedict, eggs florentine and eggs royale). If you don't fancy eggs, then don't miss their famous buttermilk waffles, which come with a number of different toppings including crispy bacon, fresh strawberries or honey and cream."

"What: Small and with no fuss, Papii is a very popular spot in the city, so you’ll have to make sure you get their early to secure a table. Although there’s no fried breakfast to be found here, there are plenty of other options to satisfy you, including the likes of filled breakfast rolls, paninis and bagels, as well as eggs any way you like. The main attractions though, are Papii’s indulgent buttermilk vanilla waffles and the smoothies which are made from fresh fruit."

"Finally, somewhat of a hidden gem on the brunch scene, Papii Café is a small, Mediterranean inspired café with a real neighbourhood feel to it. Their menu is varied, but the two dishes that get people talking are the waffles and the eggs benedict. Despite being a classic brunch food, waffles don’t seem to crop up on too many breakfast menus in Edinburgh."

"For such a small space, The Bluebird Café certainly packs a punch. Running with a southern American theme, you’ll find all sorts of USA inspired dishes on the menu. Light and fluffy Tennessee buttermilk pancakes stacks topped with combinations including bacon and maple syrup or BBQ pork and fried egg; breakfast burritos stuffed full of haggis and macaroni cheese, with good vegan options like BBQ jackfruit; to finish off there’s even a lovely selection of freshly baked scones – the blueberry and lemon flavour always gets rave reviews."

"Expect great coffee, soups and a range of lip-smackingly good homemade sweet treats (that one at the top is rocky road cheesecake – THIS IS NOT A DRILL). There’s also an entire menu dedicated to scones. The café itself is a cool spot, inspired by the owner’s travels through America on the back of a Harley Davidson."

"If you’ve enjoyed a morning walk at the Royal Botanic Gardens, where better to pop into to enjoy a plate of lovely fluffy pancakes then the Bluebird Cafe?. Ranging from classic pancakes with maple syrup to a selection of interesting flavour combinations!. Website: www.thebluebirdcafe-edinburgh.com"

"Besides being a wonderfully romantic hotel, Waldorf Astoria is also amongst the Top Gay-Friendly Hotels In Edinburgh. It also happens to be one of the most romantic hotels with hot tub in room. Located in a former Victoria-era railway station, the hotel oozes romantic grandeur."

"The exterior of grande dame Waldorf Astoria - the Caledonian. (Waldorf Astoria - the Caledonian). This historic railway grand dame was first built in 1903 before being swallowed by the Hilton empire, but don’t let that put you off."

"A two story extension was added in the 1820s by architect William Burn, and finally a library was added in the 1870s. The interior is beautifully decorated and furnished in Edwardian style and features some beautiful works of art. There are regular craft workshops for all ages held in the Victorian kitchen throughout the year."

"Tucked away near Cramond Beach, enjoy the delights of Lauriston Castle while being surrounded by an open green space. Don't forget to take a walk through their Japanese Gardens as recommended by Rosa, our Design Assistant!"
