The Pavilion Café

You'll find The Pavilion tucked away on the A700 in Liberton, that quietly residential part of south Edinburgh where locals actually live. It's the kind of place that gets busy with people from the area rather than tourists – families with buggies, folk meeting for coffee, the odd laptop worker. The café does straightforward, unpretentious food that hits the spot: think good coffee, decent cakes, the sort of brunch you'd actually want to eat. It's got a proper community feel without trying too hard.
