Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s city centre, in one of the capital’s most impressive and memorable buildings, Café Portrait is surrounded by traditional and contemporary art at the Scottish National Portrait Gallery.
We’ve become a firm favourite with the locals and offer a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of the city centre for any visitor to Scotland’s capital.
We operate a ‘scratch kitchen’ meaning wherever possible everything we cook, assemble or bake is home made from ‘scratch’. We specialise in using organic, seasonal, local and fresh ingredients, which means our delicious menu changes daily, incorporating innovative hot and cold main dishes, classic recipes with a modern twist, colour-and-flavourful salads, delicious soups, irresistible cakes and scones and scrumptious afternoon teas.
Struggling to eat out because of you food allergies? Don’t worry - we’ve also got a wide variety of gluten and dairy free options. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Open daily from 10am-4.30pm, Thursdays until 6.30pm. Closed Christmas Day only.
