The Out of the Blue Drill HallA-

36 Dalmeny St, Edinburgh, EH6 8RG, United Kingdom · Arts organization, Art gallery, Art studio · Edinburgh

A lively Leith community arts hub with a decent cafe attached: come for exhibitions, markets, classes and a relaxed bite, not for a pure destination restaurant experience.

The verdict

The Out of the Blue Drill Hall delivers solid food quality anchored by reliably praised soups, coffee, and breakfast rolls, supported by attentive service and a distinctive converted-hall setting that draws loyal regulars. Consistent execution across food and service dimensions sustains its standing, though modest gaps in staff expertise and destination appeal keep it just short of the very top tier.

One caveat: Service is usually friendly, but there are isolated complaints about rudeness and uneven handling.
