Embo

The lunchtime queues should be enough to tell you that this is somewhere you want to eat. Located at the top of Leith Walk, Embo delicatessen offers a mouth-watering array of healthy meals in a light, bright, wood clad deli. They’ve got outdoor tables, a (very) wide range of veggie and vegan options, and are child-friendly. Menu highlights include a nourishing soup of spinach, a tablespoon of crème fraiche and a handful of crumbled feta. Or a homely spinach and feta muffin with fresh pesto. Or a salad plate of fennel salami, baba ganoush, roast veg, tabuleh and grilled halloumi. Carefully made desserts include home-baked millionaire cheesecake and gluten-free chocolate brownies.

Embo also offers an outside catering service, including meeting and business lunch platters, and free delivery on orders over £20.

Open Mon–Fri 8am–4pm; Sat 9am–4.30pm. Closed Sun.
