"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."

"A post shared by Susan (@susandoherty__) on Nov 16, 2016 at 4:13pm PST. Hula Juice Cafe has a lot more to offer than just juice. Here, you can get a selection of fantastic vegan food, including wraps, bagels, salads, and açaí bowls, to enjoy with your smoothie or nut milk latte."

"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."

"Loudons, a simple but stylish café and artisan bakery, is an independent Edinburgh brand with a strong ethos focused on creating brilliant breakfast food for all appetites. The original branch is located in Fountainbridge, with a relaxed interior suitable for all sorts of meet-ups and all sorts of brunches!. They offer an impressive selection of bread and cakes baked on-site fresh every day."

"A mixture of fresh onsite baking and locally sourced produce makes Loudons Cafe a great place to stop for breakfast. Comfy couches and a bright airy interior combine with outdoor seating for those rare sunny Edinburgh days. The menu caters for health conscious diners and hung over patrons seeking a fried treat."

"Loudons is an Edinburgh staple, serving all-day breakfast at its restaurants in New Waverley and Fountainbridge. From a full breakfast with haggis and all the trimmings, to vegan pancakes, there's something for everyone."

"If you’re looking for brunch in the New Town, Urban Angel is a great place to try, with the menu available every day until closing time at 5pm. You can access it easily from the city centre, where it is located just off Princes Street, and it’s considered one of the best brunch places in the New Town. Having been open for 15 years, you can be sure that Urban Angel will provide you with an excellent meal, and they place strong emphasis on carefully sourcing their ingredients."

"Another brunch hotspot in New Town is Urban Angel, a popular choice amongst tourists and locals alike. See also43 Most Beautiful Lodges with Hot Tubs in Scotland [2021]. Inspired by travels in Australia and New Zealand, the Urban Angel team focus on using seasonal ingredients to create everyday food and – spoiler – it’s delicious!"

"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."

"They roast their own beans weekly right in the heart of the Cairngorms and sell them in fresh brews each day. Along with their beautifully bright yellowed branded cups, they have small bites to eat that pair perfectly with their local brew. If you’re outside of Scotland and still want to enjoy this brew, they offer to ship to many countries across the globe so that you can have a flavor of the Cairngorms, and if you like, they sell extremely aesthetically pleasing long sleeve shirts so you can promote your love for coffee, this local spot, and the outdoors!"

"A firm favourite of many Edinburgh locals and visitors alike. Two of my favourite things are on offer at Cairngorm Coffee; cheese and of course some of the best coffee you dan find in Edinburgh. Cairngorm have two coffee shops in Edinburgh, both offering a unique sit-in experience in central locations."

"This bright and beautiful coffee stop now has two locations in the city with a loyal contingent of coffee fans. Naturally, they brew up their own coffee in-store, which they roast in the Cairngorm Mountains every week. Be sure to take home a bag of their trademark yellow coffee beans to sip at home!"

"The decor is all about elephants, and the food is all about bagels. At Elephants & Bagels you get to create your own bagel from scratch. You get to choose the type of bagel and pick your own fillings (so many options!)."

"If you are feeling grand, there's no place in Edinburgh quite like this. Corinthian columns, marble bars, chandeliers and draped curtains set the glamorous atmosphere at The Dome, at its spot in 14 George Street. The award winning food showcases Scottish produce, and you can always nip around the back to Rose Street Garden for a luxurious cocktail afterwards."

"Old Calton is situated at the foot of Calton Hill and is the resting place of numerous important people including the philosopher David Hume. Inaugurated in 1718, the cemetery had to be altered due to the construction of Waterloo Place in 1819 and was divided into two. As well as the neoclassical memorial of David Hume, it is also worth highlighting the tall black obelisk erected in the memory of a number of political reformers and an enormous statue of Abraham Lincoln which is Scotland’s American Civil War Memorial."

"Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s old town, this bar is anything but old-fashioned. The styling is industrial featuring exposed brick and stainless steel but fret not, the atmosphere is warm and lively as residents and visitors flock to sample the now world renowned, headline grabbing beer. Perhaps unsurprisingly the beer offering is vast and not just from the brand itself, which can be sampled in a range of measures."

"Offering some of the best beers in the city, BrewDog's Lothian Road is about both quantity and quality. A huge space boasting over 20 craft beers as well as a menu of hearty eats, from beefy burgers and healthy salads to delicious chicken and cauliflower wings."

"When it comes to humble beginnings, Paul Gibson certainly takes a top spot. His home-grown brewing project began in his garage out of a green VW called Olive. After heading out on the road across the UK and creating beers on a shoestring budget, Paul set up a permanent (and much larger) home for his microbrewery in Leith."

"Situated in Leith, on the Edinburgh coast, thisbrewery started life on the road as a “mobile brewery” in a 1973 VW campervan (hence thename). Today, having opened a permanent location in 2017, it’s still going strong. Their spacious taproom is laid-back and unpretentious."
