The Huxley is the home of simple pleasures,
creating a comfy and welcoming space in the heart
of Edinburgh. The bar area is bright, modern and
fresh while the seating booths are far more cosy
and intimate. Food at the Huxley is of a distinctly
American flavour; a range of hot dogs, burgers
and nachos stake claim to a sizeable chunk of
the menu’s real estate. The theme of Americana
continues right through to the desserts menu with
a particularly saccharine treat in the form of the
Texas sheet cake, drenched in a salted caramel
sauce and served with honeycomb ice-cream.
After food, the Huxley invites gin lovers to their
basement where a range of delicious, quirky and
rare refreshments are offered to the adventurous
of spirit and palate. Indeed, this is truly one of
Edinburgh’s hidden gems and the perfect way to
round off any evening.

Social Bite is a cafe project which wears its heart
firmly upon its sleeve. Imagined as a place where
paying diners and the homeless can go to enjoy
a full and hearty meal, Social Bite is on a mission
to end homelessness in Scotland. Co-founders
Josh and Alice not only feed the homeless who
visit the eatery, but help them back into work. In
fact, 1 in 4 of the workers at the Social Bite have
previously struggled with homelessness. The
food on offer is simple yet delicious. The menu
features a range of hale and hearty fare including
soups, sandwiches, salads and hot meals such as
haggis, neeps and tatties. There’s certainly plenty
to sink your teeth into at the Social Bite and with
two city centre locations to choose from, Rose
Street and Shandwick Place, it shouldn’t prove
hard to find yourself within range of its doors.
