Gallery Café

The Gallery Cafe, situated in the basement of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, spills out onto the patio and its surrounding gardens, allowing customers to make the most of those (rare) sunny afternoons in Edinburgh. The self service, canteen style cafe offers up a sumptuous array of seasonal, locally sourced and organic salads, pastas, pies, cakes and meringues complete with vegetarian and vegan options. This delicious variety of food at reasonable prices often ensures the bustling cafe gets quite busy and it can be a struggle to find a table, though it’s certainly worth the wait.
