L'Etoile Salon de Tea

L’Etoile Salon de Tea is a cute wee French café just off the Grassmarket. Serving breakfast, lunch, patisserie and strong coffee, the place is worth seeking out among the many touristy traps in this area. The tartines are fab, generous slabs of French sourdough bread topped with béchamel sauce, charcuterie, cornichons and melted cheese, well presented with a fresh little salad. Popular with the French ex-pat community, service is super friendly and brings a welcome little piece of France to this corner of the Old Town.
