Rabble is a buzzing all-day spot in Edinburgh’s New Town that handles everything from breakfast and weekend brunches to lively dinners. The vibe is relaxed yet stylish, backed by a bar team serving a creative, session-worthy cocktail list alongside an extensive selection of wines, beers and spirits.
Brunch is a star player at Rabble, with boozy brunch (including two cocktails) available until 3pm. Choose from fluffy Belgian waffles topped with yoghurt, berries and honey or crispy bacon and maple syrup; or more savoury options including Eggs Benedict and The William Wallace, a potato rosti topped with black pudding, haggis, cherry tomatoes, cheddar and fried egg. Breakfast is served throughout the morning, with everything from a full Scottish breakfast to granola, overnight chia and a continental plate.
Rabble's main menu deftly balances crowd-pleasing comfort with clever culinary twists. Kick things off with baked wild Argentinian prawns with garlic focaccia, or baked goat’s cheese with sage and onion crumble, chilli and red onion jam. Then follow with mains that span broad global flavours, from chargrilled chicken satay noodle salad with cucumber and rice noodles to Scottish steak burgers, buttermilk chicken burgers and pea risotto. Lighter appetites can opt for a crisp club salad or burrata and asparagus salad, while dry-aged, grass-fed beef rib-eye and sirloin are cooked to order on the grill. Don't skip the sides, either - the smoked cheddar mac and cheese and beef dripping chips are made for sharing.
To finish, save room for cinnamon churros with dark chocolate sauce, sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream, or a chocolate and hazelnut mousse with blood orange sorbet. Pair it with something theatrical from the bar: dessert cocktails include an Espresso Martini, Chocolate Orange, Raspberry Beret and Cherry Smoker, while the wider cocktail list includes plenty of creative serves. There’s also an all-day set menu, a dedicated kids’ menu and plenty of vegetarian, vegan and non-alcoholic options, positioning Rabble as an easy choice for groups and families.
