Cafés · Edinburgh
This relaxed café inside Edinburgh's National Portrait Gallery does soups, salads, sandwiches and proper espresso, so there's something to suit smaller appetites as well as grown-up coffee cravings. There are vegan options on the menu too, which helps if anyone in your group eats that way.
The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
