Set in the historic Mews Courtyard, the Café at the Palace offers a menu suitable for every occasion. Choose from a selection of home-made soups and fresh salads, that celebrate the best of the season and use locally sourced ingredients within 100 miles of the Palace of Holyroodhouse. 

If you’re looking to relax over a longer lunch, opt for our sharing boards, paired perfectly with a glass of wine or a seasonal flavoured water, created using fresh herbs from the gardens. Our Deli Counter is beaming with colourful salads, seasonal produce and delicious flavours, all grown locally, along with toasted ciabatta sandwiches including the Chipotle Chicken, Italian Deli and New Yorker. 

The Café at the Palace caters for all dietary requirements and children have plenty of options to enjoy, from a delicious set meal offer to a Children's Afternoon Tea, priced at £10.
