Festival Theatre Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

A very nice, relaxing cafe in the lobby of the Capital Theatre on Nicholson Street. Offer sandwiches, salads and soup, as well as a few sweets. Also serve alcohol. Good food and very friendly staff. Fairly reasonably priced. No reservations needed. One of my favorite places. Recommend!

Mi almuerzo era muy pobre, en particular la ensalada. Una porción muy pequeña de ensalada de patatas, ensalada griega acuosa y 8-9 hojas pequeñas mixtas cuestan £ 7. 50 . ¡Pensé que era pollo coronado pero eran tetas! Tuve que esperar un rato en el mostrador para ser servido también. No volveré.

A light bite at lunchtime before attending the matinee performance of Hamilton, we were pleasantly surprised at the range of reasonably priced delicious sandwiches available. Excellent coffee too. Nice spot to relax before the performance but you will need to be there early as it quicklyfills up.

Lovely food, lovely atmosphere, quiet amidst the city rush and the most genuinely lovely people serving. The museum cafes were busy and hot and frazzled… we are so glad to have found an oasis of calm , and the sandwiches and cakes and coffee were fresh, delicious and very reasonably priced. The staff were so helpful to another customer with disabilities too without patronising. Honestly can’t fault it at all.. I’m not sure I want to give this review a sit might make it busier! Really, don’t miss this place if you are in the area.

Lovely cafe. Coffee is lovely as is food. Staff are very friendly and helpful. However the seating needs a revamp. The chairs scrap across tiled floor whenever anyone moves and cause such a loud noise which echos around the whole room. If you want a quiet reflective time to enjoy your coffee this is not really the place.

Excelente lugar para tomar un café y un aperitivo. Si está en una zona, debe disfrutar del ambiente del edificio. Bien recomendado

Café sympathique dans le centre de billeterie du festival d'art d'Edimbourg lui-même situé dans une somptueuse cathédrale désacralisée et rénovée. Salle très agréable; service souriant et rapide pour de bonnes pâtisseries.

I have been here a few times in recent weeks. My wife keeps dragging me in ... No. Not a hardship. Nice soup, and a toastie. Their hummus is filling and very tasty (My wife tells me to say this. I don't like hummus myself). They also do nice salads (choose from a selection of different types) and frittata. And scones and cakes. Tries thoise on previous visits. So, not a trad 3-course lunch, but nice as a snack after a lunchtime concert just round the corner at the university. The Festival Theatre have taken over the management of the cafe. It's much improved. Thanks folks.
