Greenwoods Edinburgh is a breakfast, brunch and lunch restaurant at 61 Frederick Street in the heart of the New Town. Its warm, plant filled dining room offers a calm place to step away from the surrounding shops and city streets. Service begins in the morning and keeps the focus on daytime dining throughout the week.
The Full Scottish Breakfast and classic Eggs Benedict provide familiar savoury starting points. Other egg dishes, pancakes and seasonal brunch combinations bring a more contemporary character to the menu. Quality ingredients and careful presentation connect the traditional choices with the more playful plates.
The signature Banana Bread Tumble turns toasted homemade banana bread into an indulgent brunch dish with changing fruit, cream and sweet accompaniments. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten aware choices are marked across the selection, but guests with allergies should confirm the latest recipes and preparation details with staff. Lunch dishes and lighter bowls broaden the menu beyond breakfast.
Fresh juices, coffee, tea and speciality drinks complete the daytime experience. Tables can be reserved, and private hire is available for gatherings that need a room of their own. Greenwoods Edinburgh offers a relaxed Frederick Street setting for both classic breakfasts and colourful, inventive brunch food.
