Taste

What to expect

Taste is a small, informal place for coffee and light food, with vegetarian options on the menu. You can sit in, take your order outside, or carry it away for a walk along The Scores to the castle. It is a daytime café. Mobile payment is accepted, so you can pay by phone if you prefer.

On North Street

North Street is the university's historic spine, home to St Salvator's Chapel and the quad, with the cinema and several student cafés along it. Taste is at the western end, close to Murray Place, so it is handy if you are coming up from the Aquarium, the Old Course or the West Sands. The Scores and the clifftop path above the West Sands are a couple of minutes' walk north.

Who it suits

It suits anyone wanting something quick and unfussy rather than a sit-down meal, including dog walkers coming in from the beach. For something more substantial, Greyfriars Inn and Bucks Bar are a minute away, and Kinnettles Hotel is across the road. It is also convenient for anyone staying in the guesthouses along this end of town who wants an early coffee.
