The Elephant House

The Birth Place of Harry Potter! This cafe is where JK Rowling wrote her famous novels over coffee. It is located in Old Town just off of the Royal Mile. It can get busy so expect to wait in a line but it is worth it if you are a fan of the series. The food here is very good - the cakes and meals are delicious.
