Good coffee and 'nata' custard pies - this is a weekend favourite for second breakfast (the rule is: first breakfast at home, but sometimes a second breakfast out is just what is needed).

Take away or sit in? Both are excellent ways of enjoying the best fish and chips in town! Everything is cooked to order, and the portions (especially for takeaway) are huge.

Best coffee in town, I think! Think coffee sacks on the walls, somewhat uncomfortable seating, and spot-on coffee perfection!

Drinks & Nightlife

One of the local bars, owned by fellow Swedes Anna and Mike, and staffed by an enthusiastic and international crew. Look out for their DJ nights!

Swedish bar/restaurant with good cocktails, kids' corner (during daytime), good brunch, good lunch, good dinner. A place for any time, a home away from home (and not just for this Swede).

Best pizza in Edinburgh, just a few minutes away! Newly moved to a bigger location across Leith Walk so the map doesn't put it in the right place (it is opposite Boda and Area C).

The food is excellent, but equally good for cocktails and drinks. This used to be a spit-and-sawdust kind of pub but reopened in 2014 with a much more welcoming and hip setting.

Shopping

Excellent wee bakery with freshly baked bread in a cute small place. Good for breakfast, brunch and fika out, although their coffees aren't the best in town..

Bring home a little something: handmade chocolates from Edinburgh! For a truly unique experience, try the haggis dark chocolate (don't worry, it's just the haggis spices they replicate!).
