Located just a short walk from the city centre, in one of the most beautiful buildings in Edinburgh and surrounded by amazing works of art, Café Modern One at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art is the perfect spot for a relaxing morning or afternoon coffee with some home baking or make a trip to enjoy a delicious lunch.
Our café has a beautiful outdoor terrace overlooking the sculpture and herb garden, which makes it one of the best alfresco lunch spots in the city. The light, airy and buzzy atmosphere, summer and winter alike, has made this café a firm favourite with locals and visitors to the city.
What makes our café special? Our food, everything we serve is homemade from scratch, using the best fresh, local and seasonal ingredients, including vegetables and herbs from our kitchen garden – you can’t source more locally than that! Our innovative menu changes daily and includes delicious soups, flavourful salads, tasty hot main dishes, filled ciabattas and croissants, as well as large array of our scrumptious baking that includes our renowned scones and carrot cake.
We pride ourselves on the wide variety of vegetarian, gluten and dairy free food we offer every day.
Open weekdays from 9am (via the garden gate at the car park) and weekends from 10am until 4.30pm. Closed Christmas Day only.
