181 Delicatessen - Edinburgh, City of

We were passing and stopped in. Such a fantastic deli. The lady behind the counter was very friendly, very knowledgeable everything we bought was delicious. Highly recommended.

Since it also functions as a deli, I decided to purchase some Edinburgh butter to bring back to England. This restaurant was the closest place to where I was staying that sold it. The gentleman who assisted me was extremely helpful and courteous.

Just the best deki around. So many great choices of fresh food, home baking and unusual food gifts. There is a small cafe area for a coffee and cake.

Go to 181 for great food and excellent coffee. They stock our favourite bread and if you're eating in Charlotte's scones are irresistible.

We both ordered soup with scones, cheese, and nigella seed. The soup was okay, a bit watery, but not too heavy. It was a good option if you wanted something light. The scones were delicious, with flavors infused in them, and I would never normally have cheese on a scone as it can be heavy. However, this was a delicate flavoring that added a nice touch. There were also lots of lovely salads available, but since it was a wet day, we opted for the soup. I definitely need to come back and stock up from this lovely deli.
