La Casa Leith

On Leith Walk in Edinburgh, La Casa Leith is a family-run love letter to the Mediterranean. Born from a young family who adore the region’s flavours, it brings together the easy sociability of Spanish tapas and Greek mezze under one roof. After winning hearts in Dalry in 2018, Leith welcomed the second outpost with the warmth of a true neighbourhood favourite.

The cooking leans into sunshine and sharing. Bowls of olives and hummus set a leisurely pace before hot bites like falafel and albondigas in rich tomato sauce arrive, while chicken with serrano ham and manchego and marinated lamb chops bring deeper, savoury comfort. Sweet finishes nod to both sides of the Med, from baklava to tiramisu. Warm pitta, golden croquettes and a splash of sangria complete the picture.

Cosy yet lively, the room hums with the clink of glasses and the murmur of friends catching up. It is unfussy, convivial and family friendly, the kind of place where plates land in the middle, stories are swapped, and an early supper happily stretches into the evening.

Gather your favourite people, order broadly, and let the table do the travelling. Book in, share generously, and make a night of it—Mediterranean style.
