Toast
About
Toast Leith is Edinburgh’s first wine cafe tucked into The Shore, a former art gallery that now buzzes with warm conversation and a relaxed atmosphere. From early morning to late evening, the café serves a menu that spans breakfast, lunch, brunch and dinner, with a strong focus on locally sourced, biodynamic and organic ingredients. Each dish can be tailored to a range of dietary needs – vegan, vegetarian and gluten‑free options are prominently available, and the menu includes a carefully curated wine list to complement the food. The venue’s size is ideal for both intimate gatherings and larger groups. Indoor and outdoor seating are available, and the café takes bookings for parties of four or more, while walk‑ins are welcomed. Reservations for the evening are encouraged for all table sizes. Beyond the food, Toast’s unique setting – a former art gallery – offers a cosy, artsy ambiance that encourages diners to linger, explore the local streets of Leith, and relax with friends over a glass of wine. The weekly hours run from 8 am to 6 pm on most days, extending to 10 pm on Fridays, and from 9 am to 10 pm on Saturdays, with Sundays closing at 6 pm.
