Orocco Pier has a lovely sheltered patio out the back with a stunning view of the Forth rail bridge. Small covered seating area. If you have pooch(es) small enough, you are allowed to carry them through the restaurant!
Orocco Pier, Queensferry
Craigie Farm
Craigie Farm, just off the A90, has a dog friendly outdoor area round the side by the children’s playground. No dogs allowed inside here but a popular place for young families. Good food.
Café Grande, Bruntsfield
A good option when the other more trendy cafes are all full. Also open evenings. Dogs very welcome. Can be on the pricey side so check prices before ordering!
Village Inn, Corstorphine
Tucked away on the old high street, this local pub has a surprisingly good chef! Chicken fajitas highly recommended. Quieter on a Sunday evening when there’s no football on the TV.
Meadows Café, Edinburgh
A favourite spot when we are walking our dogs on the Meadows – popular with families and the local Spanish community – extensive collection of outdoor toys -wonderful sun trap on a sunny afternoon. Dogs allowed inside too, though indoor space limited.
Spitaki, Canonmills
Delightful dog-friendly authentic Greek taverna not far from Canonmills. Wide range of mezze dishes – excellent food. Our second visit this past week and we will definitely be back again! Split level with open staircase adds to the charm.
Boardwalk Beach Club, Cramond
The Boardwalk Beach Club near Cramond now allows dogs inside as long as they’re not wet or muddy. This place is an inspiration – a vibrant, tropical-themed cafe with stunning views across the Forth, with ambitious plans for further expansion.
Cameo Cinema Bar café, Tollcross
Cosy place for drink and chat or to read the papers. No food to speak of but good lattes and cappuccinos! There’d a.side entrance from the adjoining street directly into the bar.
Patisserie Florentin, Stockbridge
Florentine’s in Stockbridge, Edinburgh. Another favourite haunt. Lunch yesterday – cosy as ever on a blustery day. Try the salad with avocado with an extra half-half portion of chicken and bacon! Yummy!

PS pain au raisin really tasty – ask for it warmed up!
Victor Hugo’s deli, Meadows, Edinburgh
Victor Hugo’s deli, coffee lounge and champagne room. A favourite haunt just off the beautiful ‘Meadows ‘ in central Edinburgh.. Their current special – avocado on sourdough bread – is highly recommended!
