Tucked away on a cobbled lane in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, Cafe St Honore is a happy marriage between classic French decor and carefully sourced Scottish ingredients.

Cafe St Honore may sound as if it is a French restaurant which has decamped to Edinburgh but, despite the elegant Gallic interior, the cooking is mainly although not exclusively modern Scottish.

The restaurant prides itself on its sustainable kitchen and as Cafe St Honore uses seasonal produce, each day the talented chefs create a new menu to bring out the best in the ingredients delivered that morning.
