Best Breakfast and Brunch Places in Juniper Green

"Nowadays with so many food trends in eating healthy, sometimes it can be hard to arrange a BFF date if one of you is healthy conscious or has allergies.

"There are good reasons why Loudons is so decorated with awards. From its ethos of sourcing the best local produce to its attention to detail in everything from food presentation to decor, this independent Edinburgh brand devotes a lot of care into its work. For the full Loudons experience, pull up a chair at the original branch in Fountainbridge, the city’s financial district."

"If you find yourself in the Fountainbridge area be sure to pop into this light and bright cafe to enjoy brunch or lunch!. Another bonus is they serve up delicious fluffy pancakes. Choose from classic American Style Pancakes, Vegan Blackcurrant Pancakes, or if you’re looking for a healthy boost they also serve Superfood pancakes (pictured below)!"

"Loudons represents the perfect place to take your parents, with garden centre vibes (in the best way), it is the ideal backdrop for lying to your folks that the reason you’re tired is from an all nighter in the library, not because of the eight vodka cranberries you had at the club last night."

"For such a small space, The Bluebird Café certainly packs a punch. Running with a southern American theme, you’ll find all sorts of USA inspired dishes on the menu. Light and fluffy Tennessee buttermilk pancakes stacks topped with combinations including bacon and maple syrup or BBQ pork and fried egg; breakfast burritos stuffed full of haggis and macaroni cheese, with good vegan options like BBQ jackfruit; to finish off there’s even a lovely selection of freshly baked scones – the blueberry and lemon flavour always gets rave reviews."

"Sitting just off Leith Walk is Word of Mouth, one of the best coffee shops in Leith and well worth a visit.

Along with great coffee, Word of Mouth have a reasonable menu offering breakfast and lunch options all day."

"***Since Mimi’s doesn’t open until 10 am on Saturday and Sunday, you can also try Word of Mouth Cafe if you want to start your day a bit earlier. Yes, it’s a bit of a hike (just punning it up left and right here) from Arthur’s Seat but totally worth a visit for their delicious vegetarian Scottish breakfast. Seriously one of the best breakfasts in Edinburgh."

The Pompadour by Galvin is a Michelin star restaurant that won’t disappoint; it’s got an absolutely gorgeous interior, offers amazing castle views and is equipped with a drool-worthy menu. If you’re down to splurge even more, book a private room to make it a touch more intimate."
