Facebook - Aroma Coffee Bar Google Map - Aroma Coffee Bar - 75 South Bridge, Old Town, Edinburgh EH1 1HN We had planned a trip to Edinburgh to visit the National Museum, I've not seen it since it re-opened and we decided to go mid week when it would be less busy. The majority of the museums and Art galleries in Scotland are free entry. So there perfect for visitors on a budget, or families looking to entertain kids over the holidays. We decided to have lunch first, there is a cafe and bistro in the Museum but they are on open view to the public.

THE GOOD We had originally planned to have lunch in  Henderson's Restaurant, where the service is canteen style.  I took one look at the Queue  of people and walked out.  Not too great for someone that has an anxiety disorder and finds crowds claustrophobic. Then I remembered the bistro just round the corner, which only had one other couple.  It's a small bistro, that's eclectically decorated which we both loved.   Henderson's Bistro - Edinburgh Light Lunch at Henderson's Vegetarian Bistro  Mum's Lunch Henderson's Homemade Pate with Organic Oat cakes - Lentil and Apricot pate spiced with Chili, Coriander and Cumin - Roasted red pepper Pate My Lunch Soup of the day with Organic Oat Cakes - Mushroom and coconut cream soup Lunch & drink for 2 = £ 15 Mum preferred the roasted red pepper pate over the lentil and apricot, it was served with a light side salad.  She ordered a small pot of tea, and was ...
