    Cosy, Accessible and Welcoming Venue in Central Edinburgh

    Came here for refreshments with a friend—quite a quiet, cosy venue with attentive staff and good facilities. Everything was step-free, spaces were well-lit and I didn’t have to worry about accessing the toilets or moving around. A really good experience, would definitely return!

    Another delight of the Royal mile

    This fully accessible, stunning building contains many stories and readings for both adults and children. Our purpose on the day of our visit however was lunch. There is charity run café which serves stunning delicious food by friendly and helpful staff. Our food was delivered to the table so we could enjoy comfortably.
