The Elephant House

Edinburgh has a rare sunny sky in winter. Take a walk and have afternoon tea at the Elephant Cafe in Harry Potter. It feels like time has slowed down. This cafe is famous because of Harry Potter.

The Elephant Cafe is located opposite the National Museum of Scotland. This inconspicuous little shop is the place where all Harry Potter fans come to make a pilgrimage. The shadow of elephants can be seen everywhere in the store, on chairs, glasses, and coffee cups.

There are all kinds of elephants everywhere inside, which is worthy of its name. Many tourists come here to visit. Some coffee and simple meals are provided here, but you need to be led by a waiter to order. You can't find a seat and order by yourself. I don't know how long we have to wait, so we just took some photos.

It is said that many people cannot get used to Haggis, but I accept it well. There is no peculiar smell or offal smell, nor too much spices. It is even a little ordinary, probably equivalent to the rice sausage in China, nothing amazing. The interior of the whole cafe is not very eye-catching. If it were not for the strong blessing of JK Rowling, it would be just an ordinary British café, so the posters and information of Rowling's mother are indispensable on the wall. ,

The Elephant Cafe in Edinburgh is also known as the Magic Cafe. "Birthplace of Harry Potter" is written under the right window. It was here that the impoverished J.K. Rowling ordered a cup of coffee every day and wrote the early Harry Potter while looking at the Edinburgh street scene outside the window.

Rowling completed the first Harry Potter book in this coffee shop. It was raining when we went there, and it was past 8 o'clock. There was finally a vacant seat inside. Of course, the deliciousness of the food has never been the focus of people coming to this shop. The taste can only be said to be average. In addition, this shop also has a Chinese menu.
