Best Takeout Food Restaurants in Cockenzie and Port Seton

"Aptly named, Tony Crolla’s authentic Italian restaurant has been a firm favourite with local residents and visitors for many years. A fabulous menu, combined with warm, friendly staff, this bustling restaurant offers wood-fire oven baked pizzas, mouthwatering pastas and much-loved Italian desserts including tiramisu, pannacotta and homemade chocolate and pear sponge cake. 331-325 Leith Walk, Edinburgh EH6 8SA (website)"

"With just a cursory glance at the menu, you’ll realise Grams is no ordinary brunch spot. With the mantra ‘eat better, not less’, it’s the discerning choice for those who would like to indulge in a decadent brunch but are concerned about healthy eating. Standout choices include a stack of Gram’s protein pancakes – made with whey protein and gluten-free oats and served Canadian-style or with fruit and yoghurt – which are guaranteed to sate even the hungriest appetite."

"You may have come across Grams before at a few of the local markets. Its 100% natural, raw, dairy free and gluten free cakes proved quite the hit and now its now opened a new cafe and store at Haymarket. The team behind Grams are experts in making tasty treats that nourish your body and they pride themselves on using natural, whole ingredients!"

"Since its launch, Grams has stood out amongst the many cafés in Haymarket. Their ethos is ''eat better, not less'' and this is reflected in their scrumptious breakfast options. We have the acai and cacao bowls, a selection of smoothies and raw cakes, or what about the protein pancakes?"

"Pizza is big news in Edinburgh and these days you’re never far from a decent slice. East is one of the best, thanks to their sourdough crust and focus on high-quality Scottish ingredients: mozzarella comes from Dumfries, cured meats from the excellent East Coast Cured and soft drinks are made by Bon Accord just up the road. This elevates their pies far beyond a simple pit stop."

"Situated in the Old Town close to Waverley Station, this friendly little takeout has been around since the 1980s and has an old-world feel. It offers lots of vegetarian, vegan and allergy-friendly options, with a multitude of cold and hot toppings from which to choose, as well as salads and snacks. A large potato (or tattie, as they’re known in Scotland) with one filling is £6.50 and will set you up for a day of sightseeing."

"Baked potatoes may be a simple choice, but with such a large variety of filings, this is a great BFF spot where both can be satisfied food wise; but also great for a bit of BFF catch up time. Additionally, everything on the menu is vegetarian so it is great if either of you are a fussy eater or both want to try something different; it’s all about the taste and adventure."

"Fluffy baked-to-perfection tatties, generously filled with almost anything you fancy: baked beans and cheese, egg mayo, veggie chilli, haggis… As an equal opportunities potato shop, whole fridge sections are dedicated to dairy-free and vegan toppings too. 56 Cockburn Street, EH1 1PB"

"A post shared by John Robins (@nomadic_revery) on Feb 18, 2018 at 7:31am PST. For some of the best vegetarian pizza dishes that Edinburgh has to offer, Nova Pizza Vegetarian Kitchen specialises in delicious vegetarian pizzas that are irresistible even for non-vegetarians. Friendly and welcoming staff offer an impressive range of vegetarian pizza toppings such as pepperoni, mozzarella and even vegetarian mince."

"And when Dan and I craved some good old fashioned greasy and unhealthy pizza, Novapizza was the ultimate answer. No doubt, it more than satiated our need!. As simply a restaurant with vegan options in Edinburgh, we expected an “eh” pizza with vegan cheese that doesn’t really taste like cheese and a minuscule amount of vegetable toppings since we’re “veggies”…"

"If you are craving to eat mouthwatering, vegetarian Italian cuisines in Edinburgh, make sure you visit Novapizza Vegetarian Kitchen. Go through a wide range of vegetarian pizza menu here before making a choice. You will find it irresistible to get your hands on hot, spicy tempting pizza garnished with smoked seitan and buttery vegan cheese."

"The lunch menu at Bell’s Diner has barely changed in 40 years, but why change a winning formula?. This cute little diner on the corner of St Stephen Street has been serving up gourmet burgers long before the likes of Byron got in on the act. Its steaks are also excellent and come with a choice of five sauces (go for the garlic butter), while the large hot fudge sundae pancakes are legendary in these parts."

"Tuck into all the American classics, including burgers, steaks, indulgent desserts and classic cocktails in this rock n roll themed resultant. Outdoor seating is unreserved and available on a first-come-first-served basis. Hard Rock Cafe20 George Street, Edinburgh."

"Launched in London over 40 years ago, the Hard Rock has since exported its rather cookie cutter approach all over the world, but should you go in expecting generous portions of decent, if rather…"

"Sitting just off Leith Walk is Word of Mouth, one of the best coffee shops in Leith and well worth a visit. These guys roast their own beans in-store every day to make sure your coffee is as fresh as it can be and with blends from across the globe, you are sure to find your favourite coffee here, as well as experiment with new blends. Along with great coffee, Word of Mouth have a reasonable menu offering breakfast and lunch options all day."

"***Since Mimi’s doesn’t open until 10 am on Saturday and Sunday, you can also try Word of Mouth Cafe if you want to start your day a bit earlier. Yes, it’s a bit of a hike (just punning it up left and right here) from Arthur’s Seat but totally worth a visit for their delicious vegetarian Scottish breakfast. Seriously one of the best breakfasts in Edinburgh."

"Café Portrait has quickly become one of Edinburgh’s best art venue cafés, and, with its striking gothic windows, consistently good food and creative buzz, it’s easy to see why. The menu is seasonal and changes daily, but the likes of Moroccan spiced salmon on a bed of chickpea and spinach, or goat’s cheese roulade won’t disappoint."

"Located inside the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, Cafe Portrait keeps culture vultures engaged with dramatic gothic windows and archways. Painted and photographed portraits adorn the walls, as if to suggest that you're sipping in good company. There's a standard mix of coffees, steeping teas, and hot chocolates."
