The café adds another welcoming dimension to the Institut, offering students, members, visitors and the wider Edinburgh community a place to gather before or after a French class, while visiting our library, attending an event, or simply taking a break in the Old Town.
After all, the café has always held a special place in French culture: a space for conversation, connection and taking the time to enjoy the moment.
And there’s a little something extra for our members: French Institute members benefit from a 25% discount when presenting their membership card!
So come and say hello, bring someone you love, and make yourself at home.
