Set within the architecturally stunning Edinburgh Futures Institute — the University of Edinburgh’s visionary redevelopment of the historic Royal Infirmary on Lauriston Place — Canopy Kitchen & Courtyard is one of the city’s most exciting new destinations for modern, seasonal dining. Inspired by its creative surroundings, Canopy combines fresh flavours, stylish design and a creative,
community-driven atmosphere.

The menu is packed with globally-inspired dishes made from local, seasonal ingredients — from colourful salads and warmly spiced grain bowls to hearty mains and generous sharing platters. Standout plant-based plates like spiced cauliflower shank and wild mushroom risotto sit proudly alongside prime Scottish meats and sustainably sourced seafood, all crafted with the same sense of creativity that defines the wider Futures Institute.

Canopy’s courtyard is a hidden gem — a bright, open-air space perfect for al fresco lunches, coffee catch-ups or unwinding just steps from The Meadows. Indoors, original features blend with contemporary design and natural light to create an inspiring setting for everything from daytime meetings to relaxed evenings.

Whether you’re here for a laid-back drink, a catch-up over coffee or a flavour-packed lunch, Canopy offers a fresh, inclusive space to connect, create and unwind — where bold ideas and bold flavours meet.
