Loudons

Big, bright and spacey, open planning dining perfect for a business breakfast or for a relaxing refuel. Breakfast here is served from 8am-12pm on weekdays and until 3pm at weekends, so perfect if you are having lazy, long lies in at the weekend. They have a huge choice of things to have for breakfast and really good options for gluten free, vegetarians and vegans too. Read more about Loudons here.

Piece Box

This is such a lovely space to wile away your morning for breakfast or brunch. Even better they serve it all day so you can have your porridge with fruit, full Scottish or for something different, their Mexican eggs any time of the day you choose. Tuck in and enjoy the tasty food as well as their fab music which you can follow on spotify too. Read more about Piece Box here.

Di Giorgio

Located in Canonmills, Di Giorgio is independently run by a husband and wife team. The care they have taken to ensure everyone is welcome and enjoys their experience is plain to see. The breakfasts are made up of quality ingredients, and if you have space afterwards, the range of freshly baked cakes are tempting. Read more about Di Giorgio here.

Dishoom

Dishoom launched this year in Edinburgh, and brought with them the Bacon Naan. If a fry up doesn’t really do it for you, the breakfast menu at Dishoom is vibrant and exciting, and offering something completely different! Read more about Dishoom here.

The Pantry

Its popularity and success has seen The Pantry expand recently. As well as a solid lunch menu they pride themselves on their breakfast offering with favourites such as waffles and LA eggs. Be warned, the portions are large, diners may not require lunch. Read more about The Pantry here.

Coro

Chocolate Heaven! This is where to go for an indulgent breakfast to satisfy a sweet tooth. There is nothing ordinary about their mouth meltingly creamy, tasty and frothy milkshakes or hot chocolates. Or try one of their hot chocolate shots! All perfect with their amazing waffles. Read more about Coro here.

The Huxley

The Huxley has become a real favourite of mine, not just for breakfast, but for lunch and brunch too. It’s perhaps not the first place you’d think about when you think of breakfast, but the menu is diverse and offers something that everyone will fancy. Read more about The Huxley here.

Victor Hugo Deli

On a sunny day you can enjoy waffles as well as a range of eggs including Eggs Benedict, and my favourite Eggs Florentine al fresco. Inside the deli offers a range of cheese, breads and charcuterie to take a way for lunch afterwards. Read more about Victor Hugo Deli here.

Ryan’s Bar

With their huge windows, large pavement seating area and vibrant city centre location Ryan’s Bar is the perfect place to eat well and watch the world go by. They have a great choice for breakfasts – healthy, light bites and hot stuff all served with really good coffee. Go for their eggs benedict, you won’t regret it.

S Luca

Not just for ice cream (though it is that good you could still be tempted for breakfast!) this old Edinburgh and Musselburgh favourite is a great place to head to for breakfast, especially with the kids. They also serve their breakfasts all day and are really good value for money.
