Edinburgh in autumn? Effortlessly chic. This time of year is all about starting your mornings with coffee in hand, crunching on the golden leaves scattered through the New Town, and afternoons spent discovering the city’s best independent gems. And the best bit? You’re out and about styled with a Strathberry handbag on your arm, borrowed during your stay with us.
When it comes to discovering Edinburgh’s most stylish corners, Louisa Hatt knows where to go. From coffee that’s worth crossing town for to boutiques filled with sustainable fashion finds, here are her go-to spots:
The Pastry Section, Stockbridge: a sweet-spot café where flaky pastries and artisanal coffee pair perfectly. The perfect pick me up after new town shopping or strolling through the Water of Leith.
Treen: a sustainable curated boutique where ethically made essentials meet modern design, building a killer wardrobe without harming our precious planet.
Argyle Place, Marchmont: intimate chef’s-table style restaurant offering tasting menus of Scottish produce with a fun contemporary French twist.
The Meadows: Edinburgh’s tree-lined oasis, ideal for a morning dog walk or the perfect pit-stop for one of the city’s best hot chocolates.
