We were sending the first part of our wedding invitations today and just across the road from the post office in Frederick Street we discovered a very parisian place indeed. There is undoubtedly a very strong French vibe in Edinburgh, maybe descending from Mary Queen of Scots' French legacy so the cafe where we had our afternoon cafe creme (no, we have really had cappuccinos) was called 'Cafe Rouge'. Luckily the coffee served there was actually dark brown and strong as it should be.
The interior of the cafe is really grand and very parisian with beautiful Art Deco posters dotted on the walls but today all the clients were fighting to get a table at the sunny terrace in front of the cafe. To our surprise all the staff were Polish but as well there were many of the clients! I really liked the toilets signs which I dutily photographed for the sake of this blog to a grande surprise of one of the Polish waiters.
P.S. We are much more relaxed these days since Lev is feeling much better now, thank you!
