Finnegans Sandwich Bar

Finnegans Sandwich Bar occupies a spot on the lower stretch of Dundas Street, the long New Town road that runs south from the Canonmills roundabout toward the city centre. The menu is a tight, well-executed daytime offer: fresh rolls, toasties, paninis and homemade soups — typically three varieties rotating through the week — alongside hot breakfast rolls in the mornings. It opens Monday to Saturday from 10am to 4pm, catering primarily to the dense concentration of offices, galleries and flats in this part of the New Town. Multiple review platforms score it above 4.5 out of 5, with customers consistently praising freshness and friendly service. Edinburgh's New Town lunch trade is competitive, and Finnegans has held its corner of it for years without any particular fuss.
