Welcome

On the corner of Rutland Street, at the West End where Princes Street meets Lothian Road, the Huxley fills the ground floor below Kyloe, with its name in big letters over tall windows on two sides.

It is a relaxed bar and kitchen, and a handy retreat from the bustle of the West End at any hour.

The day starts with breakfast and good coffee, and carries on through lunch and dinner with a menu that runs from Scottish classics to American-style plates: crispy haddock tacos, chicken and waffles, burgers heaped with toppings and fish and chips. The bar pours an eclectic choice of beers and wines, and the cocktails are a speciality. Inside, the rooms are warm and colourful, with deep blue walls hung with framed prints, banquettes and lamps.

The Huxley opens every day from breakfast until late, and tables can be booked online.
