Restaurants, Child friendly in Edinburgh
"Located on the West Bow at the foot of Victoria Street just off The Grassmarket you'll find Hula Juicebar. This is a terrific option for anyone seeking a healthy breakfast in Edinburgh. You'll find great big bowls of porridge, bagels, fresh fruit and loads of tempting beverages."
"Hula do an aaaamazing range of juices which as a juice bar you would probably expect. Although not totally vegan, still worth a shoutout on this list though as they did have some delicious and healthy vegan food on offer!. Think smoothie bowls, avocado and toast and sandwiches."
"Get your brunch fix at Hula Juice Bar in Grassmarket, which serves up smoothie bowls, sourdough sandwiches and colourful salads to Edinburgh’s health foodies."
"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."
"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."
"Loudons represents the perfect place to take your parents, with garden centre vibes (in the best way), it is the ideal backdrop for lying to your folks that the reason you’re tired is from an all nighter in the library, not because of the eight vodka cranberries you had at the club last night."
"Edinburgh is such a beautiful city with and overwhelming number of food options. My favourite lunch spot in the city is a cool little place called Urban Angel on Hanover Street. They offer breakfast, lunch and dinner, but I’ve only ever been for lunch and I can confirm that it is delicious."
"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,..."
"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."
"A post shared by Nomad (@cafe_nomad_) on Feb 15, 2017 at 9:31am PST. Situated just opposite Haymarket station and tram stop, this new kid on the block is already making an impression on the Edinburgh coffee scene. The interior of Nomad gives off definite Victoriana vibes with characteristic white tiled walls, dark wooden counter-tops, artfully mismatched chairs, and a coffee bar with intricate fretwork detailing, which is a piece of art in itself."
"This new little coffee spot nestled right on the corner of Haymarket Street has taken the world by storm with its recent opening and tasty pastries. Its location makes it the prime location for travelers, vegan and gluten-free alike. If you’re in need of a coffee fix and want to watch fellow travelers and locals pass by the corner, settle into one of their stools for a little while."
"Vitality and Kynd is a vegan café that specialises in food and drink infused with CBD. Cannabidiol (or CBD) is found in the hemp (or cannabis sativa) plant, and is separate from the THC compound that is usually associated with a cannabis high. Their menu is completely vegan and includes goodies such as waffles (pictured) hemp bagels, and a range of hot drinks and wholesome fruit juices which can be boosted with a shot of CBD."
"Gaia is one of those small family friendly places where what really matters is the quality of the product. What you will find in this restaurant are a variety of pasta dishes, homemade soups and excellent sandwiches. Although it's not in the center, if you fancy well-made Italian food, it's worth the walk."
"This Sicilian delicatessen is also a great cafe and it has a warm, family friendly atmosphere. You'll find a wide array of tempting homemade breads, soups, salads and pasta dishes. They also make a mean cup of coffee."
"The Cuningar Loop offers up the perfect natural landscape for kids to walk and play. Take the whole family on an over 3 miles of accessible paths (mixed surfaces) to enjoy some of the many play areas. The bouldering area offers up a chance to play on the rocks while the adventure play area has designed challenges for all abilities."
"This playpark is mostly made out of tree trunks and other bits of wood. It has swings, a slide and a few different bits for climbing. There’s a good sized sandy area around the swings and slide, and a den made out of climbing vines."
