After the intervening hours between breakfast and lunch had be duly sacrificed to the relentless juggernaut of progress, regular guest quester Tim and I toddled up the road to Epicures of Hyndland. This part of town is all new to me so it was with considerable wonderment that I crossed the threshold. We found the place abuzz with brisk lunchtime trade, so were pleased to find a corner table free where we could plonk ourselves.
After a jolly wander around the city, which included a stop at community greengrocer Dig-In, I stopped by the 181 Deli in Bruntsfield. I’d heard good things so was brimming with optimism as I crossed the threshold. The deli counter is where the shop’s main business is done, with an impressive cheese selection central to their offering. They have a few cafe tables at the back, so it was to their that I headed, checking that they still had soup left as I passed.
Lovely staff and fantastic products. Haven't had a chance to try out anything from their kitchen but their deli counter has amazing cheeses. Pricey, but good quality, especially their gorgonzola, which is just ripe enough so that it is creamy and incredibly sweet.
