Piccalilli is an independent cheese and wine bar at 1 Grange Loan in Edinburgh’s Southside. Close to The Meadows, Marchmont and Summerhall, it offers a relaxed, intimate setting for a glass of wine, a casual date or an unhurried evening of locally sourced food with friends.
Sharing boards and small plates form the centre of the food offering. Scottish dairy cheeses are joined by artisan salami from East Coast Cured and smoked salmon from Belhaven Smokehouse, creating a selection that can be explored in smaller combinations or assembled into a generous table to share.
The kitchen keeps the approach deliberately simple so the quality and provenance of the ingredients remain clear. Edinburgh Butter Company butter and Lanarkshire piccalilli add local detail to the boards, while the changing selection encourages guests to ask the team about the day’s cheeses, cured meats and accompaniments.
An extensive, regularly changing wine list supports the food, with most wines offered by the glass for easy pairing and comparison. Locally brewed beer, soft drinks, non alcoholic alternatives, spirits and spritzes provide additional choices, and guests with allergies should confirm the current ingredients with staff before ordering.
Address: 1 Grange Loan, Edinburgh EH9 2NP, Scotland
