On Wednesdays we wear...? Yup, this guide is all about your favourite colour - and it's for any day of the week now too, not just the one. To make your Instagram pop with everything from candy-tinted watering holes to floral eateries or venues fronting magenta splashes, read our low-down on the best pink restaurants and bars in Edinburgh.
🌸💗🧁
Le Monde
One of the best pink cocktail bars in Edinburgh, Le Monde boasts subtle shades across velvet seating, alongside bright neon lights. The dining options here combine Scottish produce with global inspiration, meaning you'll be able to wolf down everything from afternoon tea to lamb koftas and charcuterie boards, all accompanied by signature cocktails like the Tokyo-inspired Empress Beach or a Parisian-themed Saintoge sidecar.
Le Monde pairs pink and blue for a subtle but sultry look.
EL&N Edinburgh
EL&N is the pink cafe in Edinburgh that's been on everyone's minds (and feeds) since it arrived in the Scottish capital. The menu spans Turkish delight-flavoured hot chocolates, Oreo frappes, fruity iced drinks and brunch treats galore. Get your fix of all things fuchsia while tucking into a choice of Korean chicken baguettes, pistachio croissants, Biscoff cinnamon buns and even a pink brownie. They offer takeaway here too, but once you step in we're pretty confident you won't want to leave.
Forget diamonds, this colour is girl's best friend (and ELAN Cafe Edinburgh has it in abundance).
LAILA Edinburgh
You can find LAILA Edinburgh on Antigua Street in the New Town, just off the Royal Mile. From the blush façades to flower walls and pretty cocktails to match, it's a true pink paradise here. This brunch restaurant isn't just about looks either, as there's pink avocado toast made with beetroot hummus, towering stacks of moreish pancakes and ruby buttermilk waffles, with indulgent desserts to make your way through too. Even better? They've got a second venue on Cockburn Street too.
The best pink bars in Edinburgh city centre? LAILA has to be up there.
Tattu Edinburgh
A staple up and down the country for contemporary Chinese fare, Tattu is also famous for its stunning spaces - mainly signature blossom ceilings and whole trees making up the décor. Whether you pop in for cocktails at the bar or a full meal, expect to spend as much time gawking at the interiors as you do savouring the taste of all your treats. Sip on the agave and lime blend Marine Mist or a jasmine-infused Radiance, before tucking into sweet and sour pork, spiced seared tuna, pak choi and much more.
For a pink restaurant in Edinburgh, Tattu is a top shout.
Tigerlily
From indoor, Japanese-inspired blossom installations across winter and spring to summertime terraces packed with blush hues and even a swing seat, Tigerlily is an ideal pick of pretty pink Edinburgh bars. Keep an eye out for their ever-changing pop-ups and installations, alongside candyfloss-topped cocktails or a chance to rest your head across magenta-accented hotel rooms. They even offer afternoon tea here, featuring strawberries and cream cupcakes, buttermilk scones and smoked salmon sandwiches.
Have your fill of all things rose and rouged here.
Candy Bar
Pink cocktail bars on Edinburgh's George Street don't get much better than Candy, where cute frozen numbers in flamingo-inspired colours are paired with peach walls next to outside tables. Head here for a subtle pop of your favourite shade to accompany summer drinks, while inside there's boozy bingo sessions and more. As for food, expect tasty pizzas, chicken or halloumi fajitas and fully loaded burgers.
This choice of pink bars in Edinburgh with outdoor seating is all kinds of sweet.
