The City Cafe

The City Cafe has been an Edinburgh institution since the mid 1980’s. As a replicated American themed diner it has withstood the test of time and has established itself as the classic, cafe bar venue in Edinburgh City Centre. Retaining all the original features and style of a mid century diner The City Cafe has been the “place to be” for decades and still attracts local and international acclaim as an ever present fixture of Edinburgh culture.
