La Cîme is a licensed cafe, deli and neighbourhood bistro at 210B Newhaven Road in Trinity, Edinburgh. Created by wife and husband Anne and Will, it joins Anne’s connection to the Lozère region of France with Will’s Edinburgh background in a warm space built around cooking and community.
Food is made from scratch in the small kitchen, using a focused group of local suppliers and ingredients chosen for the season. Brunch and lunch change accordingly, with examples such as pork and duck rillettes with house pickles, stuffed roast aubergine with harissa hummus, and slowly braised ox cheek with orzo and spinach.
The deli shelves carry house products including pâté, granola, jams and spicy ketchup, alongside goods from independent producers. That retail element sits naturally beside the cafe menu, giving visitors the option to eat in, take prepared food away or pick up something for the pantry.
Carefully selected wine can be enjoyed with a meal or taken home, and regular four course wine evenings explore a particular region or theme with matched glasses. Good coffee, seasonal daytime cooking and intimate private dining make La Cîme feel both useful to its neighbours and distinctly personal.
