About this menu

L'Etoile Salon de Tea is a cafe on West Port in Edinburgh, serving everything from cooked breakfasts to hot plates and light bites. You will find Breads & Olives and Starters such as insalata caprese and macaroni cheese croquettes, then Mains including chicken Milanese and Italian fish stew. Croissants, fresh baguettes, special home made quiches and tartines or French toasties fill out the savoury side, with frappés and soft drinks for the glass.

Anyone after a morning meal can turn to the Cooked Breakfast section, where the British breakfast is listed. For a smaller order, Light & Fresh or a croissant keeps things simple, while the mains cover fuller plates. Those who prefer bread based plates can look at the baguettes, tartines and French toasties. Vegetarians and vegans can look to the stuffed vegan aubergine, and the soft drinks and frappés are there to round off whatever you choose.
