It's a cafe that serves food. It's really not all that special however it's affordable and on edinburgh castle grounds. Stop in and eat before you start your journey, lots of hills and stairs you'll need your energy.

This is the only place you can buy foods and drink at the castle premises.
Atmosphere is good, you can have table inside or outside well.
You can use washrooms,but you need to get down for the washrooms ( use stairs behind the cafe).
Friendly staff.
I had a cappuccino ,but that was not good.

A typical cafe offering food and drinks.

They serve inside - what a great view of the city, but with an unpleasant smell (at least it was when I visited) and also have a few tables outside. 🙂👍

The cafe is quite spacious and offers a wide variety of dishes.

The members of the staff were nice and kind.

Busy. Smelt strange in the window section. Tables dirty with plates stacked up. Loads staff but just talking not the best place to vist while at a top world attraction

The food here was okay. It had been sitting out all day and so it was a little dry. I can't really expect much better when it's been sitting out. However, the "pot of tea" ended up being a paper cup of tea. If the staff ran out of teapots then they should have told us.

After seeing the castle we were hungry and stopped in the cafe for lunch. Had arrived 15 minutes before they started serving hot food. We waited then ordrred the chicken and mushroom pot pie and the fish dish with side dishes. All food was very good with large portions. Nice find.

I had a wonderful lunch here for a more than fair price. The cafe was clean and the staff was very friendly. They have a nice selection of mains, pizza, cakes and other baked goods and drinks. The views from the windows are very nice. It is a good place to begin or end your trip to the castle or perhaps a midway pick me up or cake and tea!
