Every year we see thousands of students flock to the city to live whilst attending one of the many Universities or Colleges that Edinburgh has to offer, so much so that students actually make up 12% of the Capitals population! Edinburgh is a city known for its historic attractions and diverse culture, however it’s also home to a multitude of outstanding restaurants and takeaways of various cuisines. So if you’re a student in Edinburgh at the moment it’s likely you’ll feel a bit overwhelmed with all the amazing food options on your doorstep. We’ve put together a list of our favourite hotspots around the city that are available to order on the What The Fork app. Plus, we know that living the student life usually means living on a budget so we’ve included some discount codes available to use on the app too.
Laila Edinburgh
63 Cockburn St, Edinburgh EH1 1BS
Possibly the most aesthetically pleasing brunch spot in Edinburgh. This isn’t your average avocado on toast type brunch though (although theirs is delicious), Laila offers all your brunch classics with a Mediterranean twist. Think ruby waffles, aleppo eggs, candyfloss on pancakes and lucky charm lattes. The pictures speak for themselves!
