Best Pancake Places in Edinburgh

Review analysis
food   menu  

Whether it's Shove Tuesday or you just fancy a little breakfast indulgence, if you're in the mood for pancakes then there are plenty of spots in Edinburgh where it's Pancake Day all year round!

The City Cafe's belly busting all-day breakfast menu is full of indulgent choices and their vanilla infused pancakes don't disappoint.

Served with maple syrup and your choice of either fresh berries or Nutella, the City Café are deservedly proud of their towering pancake stacks.

Forming part of the Rutland Hotel in Edinburgh’s West End, The Huxley’s mouth-watering pancakes are part of their daily breakfast menu served from 8am-11am.

Served as part of their very popular weekly breakfast menu, choose from their vegan and gluten free banana and coconut pancakes, topped with fruits of the forest compote, or their thick American-style pancakes, served with bacon and baked banana topped with maple syrup.

The City Café (19 Blair Street, Edinburgh) | The List

drinks   food  

Complete with a large function room, The City Café and its friendly team offer beer, big portions and all round good vibes.

The 2017/18 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+ ).

Amidst the Cowgate’s late-night drinking spots, over time The City Café has become a magnet to those starting the night young.

With DJs at the weekends blasting out Motown and funk, groups of revellers set up camp in the café's booths, tucking into ginormous burgers, sharing pitchers of beer and eyeing up the pool table.

Not surprisingly, this, and the reasonably priced kids' menu makes it a hit with families – until the serious drinkers arrive, anyway.

The City Cafe | Bars and pubs in Old Town, Edinburgh

Formerly party-centric nightspot has embraced a daytime diner persona, although after-dark the pre-club reputation remains Traditionally one of Edinburgh’s definitive pre-club destinations, City Café has been forced to move with the times, adopting a kitschy American diner persona for the daytime.

Neon jukeboxes, a red baize pool table, chrome bar stools and high-backed booths provide the setting for a menu bursting with creamy milkshakes and big-ass burgers (the biggest of which is available as a ‘Man vs Food’-style challenge).

We all change as we get older – we have to learn how to make room for families – but City Café has shown us how a great bar does so in style.
