Berits & Brown

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Set in a former kitchen showroom in a rather grand raised position overlooking Leith Walk, this new café-deli-wine shop and evening bistro has considerable presence. An independently operated franchise of an outfit that has its origins in Kippen, there's plenty here for lovers of the finer things of the table to lust over, from lovely olives and cheeses to classy chocolate and luscious wines. Picture windows offer an excellent perch for coffee and cake, while seats to the rear offer a pleasant foodie enclave for evening deli platters or the house tart with good looking salads.
