A La Carte
A La Carte has been a fixture in Bruntsfield for over 20 years and is one of the best spots in Edinburgh for traditional home made food. We have a fantastic range of frozen meals, cakes and puddings with a window that is overflowing with delicious scones, sausage rolls, croissants, brownies and home baking every day.

Recently we have worked to expand our range of meals and cakes that are made with non gluten containing ingredients, the list now contains many of our frozen meals and several sweets and cakes for those with a sweet tooth. We make everything on the premises so just ask us if you need any information about allergens in any of our products.
Services
Alongside our scones, traybakes, cakes, sausage rolls and biscuits we have a tasty and convenient range of frozen food available in our Bruntsfield shop. Everything is made by us using traditional recipes, just like the ones you would use at home. Packed in single portion and frozen and ready to reheat for a simple and delicious meal.
We have a delicious range of platters, salads and main courses that are perfect for any event. Our platters come in two sizes to suit your numbers and you can choose which canapes you would like for your platter from our selection. For a great centerpiece for your buffet, we have home cooked hams or dressed Scottish salmon.
Our menu changes with the seasons but always includes all our best sellers and classic favourites. With a range of dishes including Fish, Chicken, Pork, Beef, Duck and Lamb, along with a few Vegetarian options, there is something to suit everyone's taste. All our dishes are made using traditional recipes, exactly like the ones you use at home, we don't use any preservatives, flavourings or artificial colourings, just good healthy ingredients.

I can’t resist grabbing one of their sausage rolls when I’m passing, and just eating it straight away.

This is a great little place for sweet treats! We had fresh tablet tastings here which we throughly enjoyed! We bought a few bags to take home with us. The owner was super friendly and hospitable, taking the time to chat to us. Would highly recommend to anyone passing by!

Thank you once again for your help - delicious home cooked meals to feed my hungry hoards over half term. Pre-ordering meals from abroad before I arrive ‘home’ really helps me get back up and running before a busy time with family and friends. Thank you 🙏

What a beautiful little bakery! In their window they have such a lovely array of baked sweet and savoury goods. We came in as part of Karly’s walking food and drink tour and tried a typical Scottish sweet- tablet. This was tasty! I really recommend this place for homemade sweet goods!

The homemade tablet tasting here is delicious, so much so I had to buy a few bags as gifts! I would definitely recommend this independent bakers for anything ranging from mini pizzas and sausage rolls to homemade brownies, macarons and caramel shortbread!

Cute little spot
Delicious pastries and fast service.
We had the pistachio macaron and mars square. Both really nice!
Would have loved a little spot to sit and eat them! Even a little two seater would be lovely.

I went to A La Carte as part of the Wee Taste of Edinburgh walking tour and I can thoroughly recommend it. The food here is just lovely - my favourite being the tablet. It is also presented in such a nice way that it makes an excellent gift, that is if you don't eat it beforehand. A great place for both locals and visitors.

Really great little place which does VEGAN sweets. THANK THE LORD. Came across this place on a wee taste of Edinburgh walking food tour which being an Edinburgh resident didn’t even know this place was here. Highly recommend for those who have a sweet tooth

We pop into A La Carte every weekend to pick up the delicious scones and cakes. The meals are also extremely tasty! Couldn't recommend it more. Please don't buy all the cheese scones though! They are my favourite.
