By Denis Sheehan, Publisher, H&C News: Authentic Jewish cuisine and Montreal deli culture transported to Edinburgh.
Bross Deli has opened in Edinburgh’s new St James Quarter offering authentic handcrafted Montreal bagels. The menus showcase a modern take on traditional Jewish cuisine in a unique culture clash of founder Larah Bross’s Canadian background, her experience living in New York, and her passion for locally sourced Scottish ingredients.
Larah Bross at the new Bross Deli St James QuarterThe brand new 1,200 sq. ft deli and dining space features comfy classic diner-style booths, bar seating, a bustling open kitchen, and a deli counter, that collectively combine to transport guests straight to the delis that grace the streets of Montreal or New York.
Larah Bross told diners what to expect saying: “The menu has really been inspired by my heritage. Those classic foods I grew up enjoying, given a modern and sometimes Scottish twist. These are foods to warm your soul and for me, there’s nothing more we all need right now after such a challenging couple of years.”
The new venue is designed to create a convivial concept, with a come-one-come-all notion where morning meetings can spark creative conversation, families can dine on deli classics to keep even the fussiest of eaters happy, and friends can gather for cocktails and comfort food in an unashamed celebration of carbs and classic deli deliciousness.
The Deli features a brand-new bar, created in collaboration with local beer brand, Brewgooder, alongside a cocktail menu from Edinburgh’s Electric Gin.
A resident Deli DJ sets the soundtrack to Saturdays and Sundays, smashing out the tunes for Bross Beatz weekends – with Bross breakfast beats and boozy brunch beats the order of the day.
The new bar and DJ booth will collectively set the Deli apart as the epitome of convivial café culture where locals and visitors to Scotland’s capital city can enjoy early morning bagel breakfasts and bountiful brunches, to late-night noshing boards served up with beer, bagels and beats.
The Deli also plans to reveal a summer series of events, collaborations and pop-ups that will deliver a true sense of food theatre, feasting and fun, to create an experience unlike anything seen in Edinburgh before.
