You’ll find Old Town Cafe & Bistro right on George IV Bridge, in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town. We’re surrounded by some of the city’s most loved landmarks like St Giles’ Cathedral, Greyfriars Kirkyard, National Museum of Scotland and the famous Royal Mile, which makes us a perfect little stop while you’re out exploring. Whether you’ve spent the morning discovering historic streets or visiting nearby attractions, we’re right where you need a moment to slow down and enjoy the atmosphere.

We’re just a short walk from Edinburgh Castle and close to Grassmarket, so it’s easy to drop by whether you’re meeting friends, taking a break from sightseeing, or simply looking for a cosy place to enjoy good coffee and food. With a warm and relaxed setting, we aim to create a space where you can pause, recharge, and feel at home in the middle of the city. Whether it’s your first visit to Edinburgh or a place you know well, we’re always happy to welcome you in.
