Spoon

Frommer's Review

This particular spoon is far from greasy. Instead, the contemporary cafe just off the High Street combines a relaxed ambience, first-rate espresso-based coffees, and the assured hand of a classically trained chef. The soups are superb, whether meat-free options -- such as lentil and red onion or a roast pepper and eggplant -- or Italian ham and pea soup. Sandwiches are prepared freshly, using quality ingredients, such as free-range chicken breast with tarragon on a toasted Italian roll. Alternatively, you can simply drop in for a piece of homemade cake: moist carrot or rich chocolate. Yum. (The same people now run the new cafe within the renovated Scottish Storytelling Centre, just round the corner on the Royal Mile.)
