Suggestions for Outdoor seating near Edinburgh

Matt T. • November 15, 2014Free museum! You simply must visit the rooftop garden for spectacular views across the city. Wide ranging exhibits, though not the most engaging a good effort made for the kids with games & puzzles.

Pepper • January 3, 2018Delicious flat white coffee, outside seating.

Steve M. • April 3, 2013Benches are great to sit and watch the world pass by but about cold in April!

Hugh W. • November 19, 2009The kind of olde worlde pub (from 1360!) that you don't get much in Scotland. Close to the city but feels like the countryside, pleasant patio garden in the summer, occasional unusual ale fests

Julie K. • February 18, 2013Great bench viewpoint. Welcome break.

Dean M. • November 3, 2018Hard to find but a gem! Go early afternoon or late at night. If sunny then take a terrace table. Eat if you can but do not leave without having an ‘Idle on Islay’. Cheap champagne too!!

Graeme W. • August 30, 2011Sit at the wooden bench in the middle and let the day go buy. It's amazing.

B C. • August 24, 2012Great deli - excellent food, Union coffee, decent prices, nice terrace with a view of The Meadows

Andrew G. • November 5, 2013The park has benches and bins. Be brave and risk a picnic if the sun shines in the summer. Alternatively, use them as snowball shields in the winter.
