There’s very little not to love about Checkpoint Edinburgh. It’s independent, local and comfortable, right in the heart of Edinburgh’s infamous Old Town and a master of great food, great coffee and great tipples. Before you get to all that, however, the dining space itself will welcome you with rustic wood floors and tables, large, almost factory-style windows and plenty of atmospheric lighting. On Bristo Place, Checkpoint Edinburgh is a very pleasant place to sit indeed and is sure to bring a smile to your face. Sit back, relax, use the free Wi-Fi and then get ready to order…
Start your day right with Checkpoint Edinburgh’s daybreak menu – available from opening until 5pm every day – that consists of Checkpoint toasties, philfy rolls and an impressive mix of sweet and savoury options, from pancakes right through to Cumberland sausage with bacon, black pudding, haggis and a fried egg. On the food front at Checkpoint Edinburgh you’ll also find lots of little nibbles, bites and bowls that are fit for tapas-style dining, as well as vibrant salads and a wealth of baked sweet treats. Should you not be feeling hungry, this Edinburgh Old Town gem has an outstanding selection of wines, craft beers and the staff here brew a mean, mean coffee of course. As we said, little not to love, just be sure to book ahead.
