Somewhere nice for lunch or afternoon tea near National Museum?

[Geordieminx]

Any suggestions?

We went to Etekat last time we were in Edinburgh but am taking mum on Sunday, and it's a bit of hike from there.

Will have ds (4.8) so not über posh

The tower in the museum is really nice. I've met dh there for lunch a few times.

Is it not £££££?

Elephant House on George iv Bridge is popular with kids and Grannies in my experience. Food isn't wonderful.

Mums on Forest Road is great for lunch, cheap and cheerful and the food is yummy.

Just looked at Tower, looks nice for afternoon tea, although could end up costing £70 for the 4 of us, which is a bit more than I was thinking.

Will def head over for dinner without ds and mother sometime

What's the name of the popular cafe in Newhaven - Fifi and somethingorother? Thay have a new one open on Bank St.

Porto And Fi on the Mound - good idea, definitely worth a go. Was there for lunch with my dad, great fish pie.

Mums and Porto both look lovely

What about Spoon on Clerk Street? It is upstairs right at the end of Chambers Street. Very nice food and a good play area for kids.
