Peter's Yard
Quartermile 27 Simpson's Loan Edinburgh EH3 9GG
Inspired by a Swedish bakery, Peter's Yard brings a bit of Scandinavian chic and some seriously good bread and baking to the southern fringe of the Old Town. Part of the redevelopment of the site of Edinburgh’s former Royal Infirmary, its location by the side of a broad footpath/cycleway leading to the Meadows and the University makes it a chilled-out spot for better-heeled students and the trendier local professionals. Stop in for a cinnamon bun and coffee, healthy soup or a sourdough sandwich and enjoy the conviviality of the long table or the people-watching opportunities from the window stools or outside tables.
