What makes Scotland even better, is some of the food we have. No, I don't mean our three legged bird that only runs clockwise around the hills called a Haggis - even though that is pretty great. I'm talking about locally sourced and fresh foods. We have them in abundance, and the Edinburgh Larder Cafe is taking full advantage of all these locally found goodies.

I recently made a visit to the Edinburgh Larder Cafe. It was one of those places that we stumbled upon, located on Blackfriars Street, just off of the Royal Mile. In the perfect location for a break from the hustle and bustle of the high street, and a safe haven from all the tourists and Princes Street shoppers.

The Edinburgh Larder Cafe serves up beautifully put together plates filled with fresh ingredients and mixed together in the best combination.

I went along one lunch time, although I'm desperate to try and make it there earlier so that I can try out their lush brunch menu. The lunch menu was filled with tempting delights, home made soups - perfect for this time of the year when you need something to warm you up - and mammoth sandwiches.



I had a roast chicken sandwich, which was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. Filled with chicken and rocket, and spread with mustard, it was delicious. It came with a side salad of beetroot and potato -  a fancy little salad that was the most purple thing I've ever eaten.

It's a quaint little cafe, with simple wooded decor and a counter full of home baked goods. Although small, it's quickly filled at the lunch time rush, giving it a warm atmosphere. It's the perfect place to pop along to to do some work, read a book or catch up with friends.

You get what you pay for, so it's a little bit more expensive, but its completely worth it when you see the food that you get and you know what the ingredients are.
