La Casa Newington is the third site for this vibrant Mediterranean group in Edinburgh, with two popular locations on Dalry Road and Leith Walk. Founded by a young family passionate about Mediterranean cuisine, La Casa specialises in small plates, combining the best of Spanish tapas and Greek mezze in a warm, relaxed setting.
The Newington site sits in a lively neighbourhood just south of the city centre, close to The Meadows and Edinburgh University’s central campus. It matches its sibling locations with a cosy, airy atmosphere ideal for casual dining, group gatherings, or romantic evenings.
La Casa’s menu is a celebration of Mediterranean flavours, with a wide selection of vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Diners are encouraged to order 3–4 dishes per person to share. Cold plates include classics like tzatziki, houmous, and melitzanosalata, while hot dishes range from patatas bravas and falafel to grilled octopus and pork and beef albondigas. Signature items such as saganaki (fried kefalotiri cheese with honey and sesame) and gambas pil pil (king prawns with garlic and chilli) showcase the kitchen’s commitment to bold, authentic flavours.
Desserts include Spanish favourites like crema catalana and homemade baklava, complemented by a drinks list featuring cocktails, wines, and single malt whiskies. The restaurant also offers takeaway and delivery services, making it a versatile choice for both dine-in and at-home experiences.
With its welcoming ambiance, generous portions, and flavour-packed dishes, La Casa has earned a loyal following and consistently high ratings across review platforms. It’s a must-visit for anyone seeking a taste of the Mediterranean in the heart of Edinburgh.
