Tani Modi is a brunch house at 103 Hanover Street in Edinburgh’s New Town. The compact cafe is devoted to breakfast, lunch and coffee, with table service in an informal setting. Its central location and focused daytime hours make it a popular choice for a leisurely morning meal or an early afternoon break.
Pancakes are a signature part of the menu, appearing with indulgent and fruit based toppings. Traditional Scottish breakfast ingredients offer a savoury alternative, while eggs and other brunch favourites broaden the choice. The kitchen balances recognisable formats with enough creativity to make the plates feel specific to Tani Modi.
Vegetarian, vegan and gluten free choices are available across parts of the menu, helping groups with different preferences dine together. Guests with medical dietary requirements should still confirm the current recipes and cross contact procedures. Dishes and toppings may change, so the day’s menu is the best guide to what is available.
Coffee is prepared with particular attention, using organic beans and single origin Arabica alongside the broader drinks selection. The combination of espresso, generous brunch dishes and a lively small room suits relaxed catch ups and solo visits alike. Reservations, seating and takeaway give diners several ways to use the cafe.
