Filmhouse Cafe Bar

Nice relaxed cafe style venue. Nice snacks - we like the filo parcels with feta, spinach and pinenuts or sometimes the flatbread and a salad, some humous perhaps. I recently had the lemon drizzle cake.. ok, I can make better at home.. maybe the icing was a bit too much sweet? still, I enjoyed it and you get a good size slice for your money. Very reasonable prices. Coffees are good too but I do wish this place amongst others would give you the choice of a deep mug instead of these teacup style of coffee cups where the coffee goes cold in no time. I think they do have paper mugs for takeaway coffees 🤔 Anyway, that's a personal choice and doesn't take away from the service/food at this super little eating place which I can only recommend.

I just caught a movie at the Filmhouse. I've been going here for decades, always love the atmosphere. I didn't go to the cafe/restaurant this time. Fully wheelchair accessible. Ramp up to the front door. Automated doors. Lifts. Accessible bathroom. Also you can get reduced tickets if you are disabled. It was a bit sad that the Cinema 1 was nearly deserted, with perhaps 7 people watching the film. After 6:30pm (I think) you can park pretty much in front of the building, but make sure you double check parking restrictions.

Very good place to meet people and have lunch then you can watch a movie and you don't need to worry about leaving the bar still open for refreshments so you have plenty time on your side and castle terrace as a massive car park 5 minutes walking or better still take a bus plenty, mostly going all over the city and out side town's nice and cheap, money in your pocket.

Good food at a decent budget and a nice cafe-bar environment to both enjoy with friends or have a meal on your own. Went late night after 8pm and was able to get a table to eat at, have coffee and relax reading till close about 11.30. Also managed to make most of their 16-25 membership discount, and got my meal and drink at a much cheaper price - recommend making membership if able to make use of the discount as it’s free to make.

Helped me when I fell outside this building and kept me calm while waiting for an ambulance to come and see if I was okay have to give them a good review for this and also got a taxi for me to get to a nearest stop for my coach home and also provided free food and juice to me and got a hot drink too to keep me warm

Hidden gem on a busy Friday night in town. Out with 6 friends fighting to get us all fed in a venue not bursting at the seams. This place came up trumps. The menu is limited however everything delivered surpased expectations. Really good fresh cooked meals with an international theme. Plenty of healthy options and many delicious vegetarian options, not just the usual 1-2 token choices. If you are trawling up and down Lothian Road looking for a place to eat, think slightly outside the usual box and try here. Good access, good service and the music will not drown out the conversation. Nicely stocked bar as well!
