New Town Fox is a friendly local restaurant at 2 Dundas Street in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. Open from breakfast through the afternoon every day, it welcomes bookings while keeping some tables available for walk ins, creating an easy setting for both planned brunches and spontaneous lunches.
The kitchen draws inspiration from Scotland’s larder and uses the ingredients on its doorstep to shape familiar, satisfying dishes. A full Scottish breakfast brings together bacon, sausage, eggs, haggis, black pudding and a potato scone, while a full vegetarian version offers a meat free alternative.
Pancakes, granola and breakfast rolls sit alongside avocado on sourdough and three styles of eggs Benedict. At lunch, salads, soup, tempura chicken and open sandwiches broaden the selection, with burgers ranging from grilled chicken and beef to a chickpea and sweet potato option.
The Foxburger, topped with haggis, bacon and Monterey Jack, gives the casual burger format a clear Scottish accent. Coffee and cakes suit a shorter visit, while fries, halloumi and other sides help turn the larger dishes into a leisurely meal with friends or family.
