Your new favourite brunch spot in the heart of Abbeyhill

Open 7 days a week, we’re the perfect spot for your family get-together, cosy home-working setup or post-ParkRun scran. Whether you’re in the mood for a full Scottish Breakfast, a quick bite or something plant-based, our all day brunch menu has you covered. We are also dog friendly (for friendly dogs!) and love to give our canine customers some cuddles.

Hearty Meals and Light Bites

At the Red Kite Cafe we serve classic brunch dishes using fresh ingredients from Scottish suppliers. We believe in service with a smile and generous portions designed to cater to everyone, whatever your dietary requirements. We’re proud that our entire menu can be adapted to be Gluten Free (excluding our Porridge and Granola – sorry!) at no extra cost. Our fan favourites include Chorizo & Potato Hash, French Toast made with homemade brioche, or rich Turkish Eggs.

Artisanal Brews

When it comes to the perfect cuppa, a Specialty brew doesn’t have to be complicated. Proudly pouring our Red Kite Blend from Edinburgh’s Artisan Roast; a dark chocolatey, caramel and cherry roast available with dairy and alternative milks. Or, sip an aromatic tea from locally blended Rosevear Teas. And if you’re not in the mood for something hot? Our range of Fentimans soft drinks will be sure to quench your thirst with a fizzle and pop!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got in touch with Red Kite to cater for a dinner I hosted at home. They were able to provide a range of options and tailor the menu to my specific requests. We got a range of salads, hot dishes and a carrot cake - all were equally delicious and I felt great value for money. Thank you so much!
