Under The Table Menu

Under The Table Menu - A Hidden Gem in Edinburgh's Brunch Scene
3A1, Dundas St, Edinburgh EH3 6QG, United Kingdom

Tucked beneath street level on Dundas Street, Under The Table is a quirky, character-filled café that delivers far more than your average brunch spot. If you're seeking a cozy corner with homemade treats and hearty, imaginative dishes, the Under The Table Menu is a refreshing standout in Edinburgh’s New Town.

The menu leans heavily into comfort food with flair. One of the most memorable highlights was the breakfast stack-layers of perfectly cooked free-range eggs, grilled halloumi, homemade beans, and sourdough toast, all finished with a vibrant beetroot hummus. Portion sizes are generous, and vegetarians will appreciate the number of meat-free options. The baked goods also deserve special mention; the cinnamon buns and lemon drizzle cake are baked in-house and feel like something straight from a family kitchen.

What sets Under The Table apart isn’t just the food-it’s the ambiance and authenticity. With mismatched furniture, vintage décor, and handwritten specials on chalkboards, the café has a homely, lived-in charm. Service is friendly and unrushed, which adds to the relaxed vibe.

Compared to larger chains or trendy minimalist cafés, Under The Table thrives on being personal and welcoming. It’s not fast food-it’s slow, thoughtful, and made with care. Those sensitive to noise or looking for laptop space might find it limited, but if your priority is flavor and heart, this spot delivers.

The Under The Table Menu doesn’t just cater to breakfast lovers-it speaks to anyone wanting a real, down-to-earth food experience in Edinburgh. Whether you're local or visiting, this café offers a hidden, soulful break from the city buzz.
