Eat & Drink
Drill Hall Arts Cafe
Where fresh, simple and honest food takes centre stage
Set in the heart of the historic Drill Hall, the cafe is the perfect place to relax and unwind after a class or event, or simply to catch up with friends or family for lunch or a coffee. In fact, The Times reviewed the Drill Hall cafe as ‘The beating heart of Leith’ and one of the 5 best cafes in Scotland.

Locally Sourced and Seasonal
We proudly serve locally sourced and seasonal produce, with wonderful baked goods, all made in-house (including our Drill Hall Cafe Preserves which you can buy to take home with you).
Our inviting space welcomes everyone and is accessible to all, throughout the daytime and for special events. Join us in celebrating community, a warm atmosphere and good food. Our lunch menu changes every day (but you can always bank on fish and chips on a Friday!). The cafe is open Monday to Saturday (10am – 5pm).
