About

Victor Hugo Deli – The Meadows welcomes visitors to a charming Edinburgh eating experience that blends classic French deli fare with a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere. Since opening its doors in 1955, the deli has expanded to include a City Centre and a scenic Shore location, but the Meadows remains the flagship, offering a diverse menu of all‑day breakfast, brunch, and lunch items – think eggs benedict, smoked salmon on brioche, Basque cheesecake, and a vast assortment of pastries. The deli is renowned for its deliciously crafted sandwiches, notably the robust "Pastrami on Rye," and for its cozy, Wi‑Fi‑enabled seating that makes it a favourite for both locals and tourists. Whether you’re stopping for a quick coffee or settling in for a leisurely meal, the friendly staff and efficient service ensure a delightful visit that feels like a quick escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
