City Cafe

Reliably good barista-made coffees and the diner layout with enclosed booths, as well as the Old Town location, make this a good place for tête-à-têtes during the day, while at night this remains a perennially trendy spot for all the young pretty ones. Food is fairly standard: scottish breakfasts, burgers and sandwiches. Some veggie options also and some interesting import beers.
