Resident Rewards Monthly Star

Unique to Forever Edinburgh, the Monthly Star Reward offers residents with an EH postcode one high value reward from one local business each month.

From discounts on walking tours, distillery visits and top attractions, as well as one-off prices at some of the city’s finest eateries, we reveal a new offer each month – all designed especially for Edinburgh and Lothian residents to rediscover, revel in and enjoy more about their fantastic city.

25% discount on the breakfast and all-day menu, alongside a free hot drink

Once a renowned gathering place for Scotland’s legal minds, writers and thinkers, John’s Coffee House and Tavern on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile honours its rich past while celebrating the best of local Scottish produce.

Founded in 1688, John’s Coffee House and Tavern was a lively hub of intellectual discussion and social debate. It is said that some of the most influential ideas of the Enlightenment were born here, with a coffee or ale in hand.

Reopened in March 2025, the historic details of this coffee house have been refurbished, offering today’s guests a warm and inviting space to enjoy everything from breakfast in the morning to drinks later at night, staying true to Edinburgh’s 17th century coffee house and taverns. So whether it’s a working lunch, meet-up with friends, or a family catch-up, it’s the perfect spot for experiencing Edinburgh’s history while enjoying the best of Scotland’s culinary offerings.

Valid Sunday to Thursday throughout May, residents with an EH postcode receive 25% discount on the breakfast and all-day menu, alongside a free hot drink at John’s Coffee House & Tavern.
