My only hesitation about writing this place up is that it might therefore get even more crowded than it already is. But there you go… for the love of mankind, I will do my honest duty. And my honest duty is to say: This place is fabulous. The food is just soooo delicious! My all-time favourite was the smoked salmon paté, I was in grave danger of over-eating! But equally nice are the cakes, teas, and soups. It really is a great place with a cosy (well, when it’s truly packed at lunchtime, too cosy!) atmosphere, lots of dark wood and beautiful windows.

The National Portrait Gallery is almost as famous for its delightful wee cafe as it is its exhibitions. A splendid place to drop-in to enjoy a cup of tea and one of their excellent homemade scones or flapjacks (try the date oat flapjack). The decor is nicely traditional, with beautiful windows and interesting artwork. Great to visit before and after the gallery itself; very pleasant.

It's not supposed to be the main attraction, but the cafe of the Edinburgh portrait gallery is a wonderful place, and once you've looked round the rooms and feasted your eyes on the artwork, it is always nice to feast more literally on some of the lovely salads, home made cakes and whatnot in everyone's secretly favourite exhibit. I mention cakes because here are some of the most luscious looking you will see; caramel slices, marble-topped tiffin, flapjack; all huge and very rich. It is also nice for a general cafe-goer, having a nice, cultured collection of eaters.
