Delightful dog-friendly bistro with a relaxed earthy feel. Very good menu. Outside seating too with lovely views of the beach and across the Firth of Forth. Added bonus that it is open till 11pm! We’ll be back!
Miro’s, Portobello Promenade
Portobello Beach Café
Dog friendly café conveniently located right at the West end of the promenade. Seating inside and out.
Pillars of Hercules, Falkland
Thriving and popular organic and whole food shop and café. Lots of walking and cycling options on the doorstep. No dogs inside, but the orchard is a beautiful spot to sit with your pooch on a sunny afternoon.
Cafe @ Number 16, Aberdour
Delightful coffee shop with good lunch menu. Very dog and child friendly – lots of children’s toys available. Easy walking distance from Black Sands and the play park. Closed Monday Tuesday.
Update November 2020: The Café have done a great job of refurbishing during lockdown. Quirky idea to mount spare chairs at ceiling level and plants used imaginatively as dividers. As dog-friendly as ever!
Jeelie Piece, Tollcross
Unprepossessing cafe very near the King’s Theatre. Plenty of seating, fully dog-friendly, and has the advantage that it is open in the early evening and does food! Service can be very slow if there is only one member of staff on.
Orocco Pier, Queensferry
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!
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.
