Cafe Modern One

Edinburgh


Modern design is to be expected in the cafe at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, but more of a surprise is the lovely outdoor seating area, a lunchtime sun trap complete with lawn for the kids to run around on. The menu features hearty comfort food, from parsnip-and-sage soup to sweet-potato bake.
