Cold Town House

Perched in Edinburgh's Old Town, Cold Town House sits beneath the gaze of the castle and serves up its menu with swagger. The mood is vibrant and sociable - a lively hub where refreshing drinks meet Neapolitan pizza fired in a custom-made oven.

Adding to its appeal, accolades speak for themselves - it was named a National Pizza Awards finalist in 2021. Inside, the live entertainment area delivers an energetic vibe while musicians set an upbeat tempo and the crowd brings the energy. One floor up, the upper level slows the pace just enough to watch artisan dough blister and rise, matched to innovative beverages. Dogs are welcome, and it's always a good time.

On the menu, dishes skew big on comfort and bigger on flavour - think halloumi fries to start, a classic bacon and cheese burger, or a char-grilled flat iron steak with chimichurri, alongside soft-centred, leopard-spotted pizzas ranging from classic Margherita to prosciutto and mushroom.

For daytime bites, house-baked ciabattas arrive stacked with Parma ham or burrata, while sticky toffee pudding and lemon cheesecake seal the deal. Sundays bring sharing roast beef with all the trimmings.

Gather in the heart of the main space for signature drinks, knockout food, and an unbeatable atmosphere - come for the buzz, stay for the chew!
