S. Luca Edinburgh

Ice cream and sweet treats

""S. Luca" has been one of my favorite places in Edinburgh since I was a kid. What they're famous for is their own brand of ice cream - and I love it!"

Luca’s has been one of my favourite places to go ever since I was a little kid. Walking inside is a little like wandering into Willie Wonka’s factory. Sweets and candy decorate the walls and the deep purple interiors give the whole place a magical feel.

At Luca’s café you can enjoy a larger meal or savoury snacks but what they are really famous for is their desserts and more specifically their own brand ice cream and sorbets. A family business, Luca’s began with the opening of their first ice cream parlour in 1908 and ice cream is still at the heart of what they do today.

The flavours range from traditional vanilla and chocolate to more unusual Scottish specialities such as Scottish tablet and Irn Bru sorbet. One of my personal favourite things to order is the ice cream float. This is soda served with scoops of ice cream on top that creates the ultimate indulgent milkshake experience.

Pickles

Cosy wine bar

"Pickles" is a tiny wee wine bar in Edinburgh. The bar has a rustic Scottish feel to it, but the main reason I like it is their cheese and wine...

Craiglockhart Hill

Corstorphine Hill

Not just the zoo

The zoo is one of Edinburgh's most popular tourist attractions. Next to it is "Corstorphine Hill" that's in my opinion much more interesting to explore!
