Since our grandson went to the university we have got to know Edinburgh better and he showed us this coffee house and restaurant. It is where JK Rowling wrote her early novels, sitting in the back and it was also frequented by Ian Rankin and Alexander McCall Smith. So this should be enough inspiration for buddibng writers but the ambience is also great and the home made imaginative menu is even better.They serve home made lasagne, pannini's some with mexican flavours and even haggis, neaps and tatties. What more could you want?
It can be very busy so do not be in a rush but it is well worth the visit.It is clear that lots of the students spend their very precious grants in here.
21 GeorgeIV Bridge, Edinburgh.
