Gourmet products local specialties and wines Edinburgh

Inaugurated in 1934, Valvona & Crolla is one of the first delicatessen houses to have been opened by Italian immigrants. The brand has since become a reference grocery store. There is everything, and especially, of course, Italian and Scottish products. At the bottom of the grocery store, you can access the tea room. Families with children, couples and groups of friends gather at any time of the day to have a bite to eat. You can have a brunch in the morning, eat a bite at lunch time with a glass of wine, or enjoy a sweet cup of tea.

At the bottom of the Royal Mile, near the Scottish Parliament, this whisky shop has been in place since 1842. Many visitors stay near the castle and ignore it, but once visited, it is held in high esteem! And for good reason, Cadenhead's doesn't just stock, it bottles itself the products it receives directly from casks, making it the oldest independent bottler in Scotland! Gins and rums can also be found on its shelves. The staff is very attentive and will be able to advise you.

It has been an institution in Edinburgh since 1949. You can buy delicious fudges (caramels) with rum, grapes, whisky, coconut or pecan and many other flavours. These sweets made of sugar and milk offer the opportunity for a very gourmet break in the middle of the many visits to the Royal Mile.

Mary's Milk Bar is almost a resistance fighter on the Grasssmarket ad scene. And for good reason, we don't sell beer here, we sell ice cream. And lovers will be delighted by tasty homemade recipes concocted by Mary, a graduate of Carpigiani Gelato University in Bologna, just like that! It only uses fresh and seasonal produce, so you can go there with your eyes closed. The originality of the fragrances - and their number - will surely make you come back... A little corner of Italy, and a moment of Dolce Vita, in the heart of Edinburgh!

Front red and enseigne yellow, gives this coffee a slightly discounted air. The hotel is a home of the international origins of the trade Fund and the bric development is ideal for relaxation. A hair to heat is active in winter, right beside the benches. Here, caffeine enthusiasts can taste products from all over the world, carefully chosen from a fair trade perspective. Cakes and snacks complement the experience.

More than 200 homemade beers from the UK, some 350 wines from South Africa, Spain, California, Argentina, in short from all over the world: that's what this wine shop offers you. Exclusivity, rarity, advice, discoveries: and why not attend a tasting session? Especially since, as a Frenchman, you have few opportunities to try your hand at tasting international wines... There is one a week: visit their site to find out more, and introduce your taste buds to other grape varieties.

Aberlour, Laphroaig, Scapa, Glenfiddich, Ben Nevis, Tobermory: name your distillery, you will certainly find the whiskies here. This brand is one of the best supplied in the country and also stores American, Irish or Japanese products. In all, it claims no less than 1,000 different bottles.

This intimate and coquettishly arranged shop offers the national drink in all its forms: small tasting boxes, bottles of different sizes, but also whiskies kept in casks whose age and names make you dream. Choosing a whisky is just as delicate and complex as choosing a perfume. Those who know nothing about it can rest assured that we will help them find the one that best suits their palate. They will also find all the accessories related to the tasting of this so scottish spirit!
