Introduction to Edinburgh’s Boozy Brunches
Brunch. It’s the quintessential student meal. With breakfast off the agenda after a late night on campus or out and about, many simply cannot wait for lunch making brunch a familiar and common meal for much of the student population.
Edinburgh is one of our favourite student locations here at Collegiate, not least due to its incredible reputation when it comes to food and drink; its range of brunch options is no different. With bottomless brunch becoming more popular by the day and two awesome Collegiate locations in the heart of Scotland’s fine capital, we have seen fit to put together this quick and handy guide to the best brunch in Edinburgh.
Indigo Yard
If it’s a boozy bottomless brunch you are after, then we highly recommend Indigo Yard on Charlotte Lane. For just £20 you can enjoy this restaurants highly sought after brunch menu and also your choice of two Bloody Mary’s or half a bottle of Prosecco. The perfect way to start a weekend or perhaps the ideal hair of the dog, the choice is yours.
The fayre here is very much Scotland meets Asia and this is also evident in its chic and modern décor, so why not head to Indigo Yard with your mates and check out one of the city’s most popular brunch locations.
