Alba Bistro is a cafe and restaurant at 88 Grassmarket in Edinburgh’s Old Town. Its long daily service moves from breakfast and coffee into lunch, dinner and drinks, making it a flexible stop in one of the city’s busiest historic areas.
Scottish comfort food has a prominent place on the menu, including haggis with neeps and tatties, traditional steak pie and fish and chips. Full Scottish and vegetarian breakfasts provide substantial morning options, while pancakes, French toast and breakfast rolls cover lighter or sweeter preferences.
Pasta, pizza, burgers, baked potatoes and grilled dishes broaden the bistro selection beyond local classics. Salads, wraps and panini are useful for a quicker meal, and children have a shorter menu of familiar choices.
Coffee, smoothies, milkshakes, wine, beer and cocktails allow the venue to change character naturally through the day. Guests with allergies or dietary requirements should confirm the latest ingredients and kitchen preparation with staff before ordering.
