Simply put, this place is great.

Local ingredients of the highest quality.

Amazing local treats…  salmon/ smoked fish, cheeses, sausages/ charcuterie, chutneys..
A+ breads.. OAT CAKES.. (organic) local salads.. Quiche.. pies.. fresh as can be..

Beautiful tea’s.. as well as cakes and sweets..

Cosy, cool setting without having to be “hip”..  and great people..

I could eat here everyday.

You should eat here at least once.

One of my favorite lunches in the world.. and perfect packing for a summer picnic.

It’s a true gem.

We’ve teamed up with Chris Griffett of the Pickled Fork to create a superb Autumn feast.  The menu is filled with interesting and unusual treats which are sure to delivera taste sensation.  Everything from homemade bread with scallop roe butter to delicious foraged mushroom cassoulet – it’s high end food at really reasonable price – £25 for 3 courses including a delicious seasonal cocktail on arrival.  Book via the shop & events tab on our website.

We’ve organised another course through Plants with purpose after the success of our foraging course for leaves & wild herbs at the start of the summer.  The course is only £15 for 3 hours and can be booked through the shop & events tab on our website.  Directions to the location for our course are also attached below.

We’re really happy to have been chosen as one of the top 10 places to have breakfast during the festival by the Guardian.  While we agree that we have plenty of delicious fodder for a hangover, we’re also a great place to start your morning on any day of the week – as testified by the List Eating & Drinking Guide this year where we’re recommended for breakfast.  The summary and link below give more info on the Guardian review – thanks from the Edinburgh Larder Team!

Despite its situation just off the tourist-magnet Royal Mile, The Larder remains a peaceful hideaway, with six wooden tables and a few deli shelves full of locally sourced and organic produce. There’s a wide selection of teas, a kids’ menu, gluten-free and vegan options, and the Sunday brunch is legendary – try the veggie haggis on toast for satisfying hangover stodge. The finishing touch? It’s licensed, so if a hair of the dog’s your thing, try some locally brewed ale, including one from Stewart Brewing and one from Falkirk’s Tryst.
