Our Philosophy
Evolving over many years to our current offer, our core philosophy remains to this day defined by the term Délicatesse:
"Délicatesse – delicious things to eat".
Our Story
Founded in 1955 and established at our Meadows venue in 1968, VH Deli is regarded by many as an Edinburgh institution.
Having grown in recent years to include a City Centre and waterside venue at The Shore, and with our at times slightly crazed, busy atmosphere, VH Deli has always been and remains a unique local Edinburgh venue to enjoy over a coffee.
In 2025, we proudly introduced our corporate catering offering, bringing our renowned deli experience to workplaces across Edinburgh!
