Holyrood 9A, located in Edinburgh's Old Town, is a warm and cosy bar that feels like home. Open every day of the week, this welcoming space is popular with locals and those passing through the beautiful Scottish capital.
If you're visiting at breakfast time, try the Holyrood 9a breakfast, with smoked bacon, egg, pork sausage, baked beans, haggis, black pudding, flat cap mushrooms, tomato, hash browns and bloomer toast, or a sweet treat with the arm breakfast waffles served with Nutella and banana. To make a real event of your breakfast out, add on one of the breakfast cocktails such as the Dirty Mary with tequila, lemon, tomato juice, Worcester sauce, hot sauce, salt and black pepper. For a non-alcoholic blend, opt for the Apple and Raspberry Smash or Virgin Mary.
Small plates for dinner begin with true Scottish haggis bon bons with beer mustard mayo, followed by a heirloom tomato and mozzarella salad and piri piri halloumi with sriracha mayo and pomegranate. Other options include nachos with all the toppings, spicy cauliflower wings and beer-battered deep-fried pickles. Salads are great for a lunchtime bite, with a delicious option on piri piri chicken with mozzarella, roasted red peppers, tomato, salad greens, lemon mayo, and garlic and herb croutons. For a more hearty main, try one of the famous burgers. All of the beef burgers are locally sourced from Shaws Fine Meats and served on a brioche bun with a side of rustic fries and house slaw. Try the Texas BBQ chicken with fried onions, smoked back bacon, Monterey jack cheese and bourbon BBQ sauce, or the chilli death with extra hot Mexicana cheese, sour cream, chilli death sauce and fresh chilli.
