Dionika has re-invented itself and is working hard seven days a week selling some of the best Spanish food available in Edinburgh, including pata negra hams and manchego, all sourced carefully by Juan Blanco. Juan has added a tapas bar and restaurant, giving a welcome opportunity to allow customers to sample the goods before they reel into the deli on their homeward journey.

The doors open at 8 am for early morning revivers and then the lunch menu takes over until 3 pm. On offer for lunch are three tapas for £5.95 and there are croquettes, grilled aubergines, tortilla and steamed mussels, until the evening menu takes over. As a change from the traditional Scottish black pudding try the Spanish variety, the morcilla, or anchovies, octopus and a Moorish kebab skewer.

Dionika's speciality is its fish, fresh as it comes and cooked as fish was intended to be with minimal fuss and careful timing. A Catalonian flan sits well on top of all this, and should inspire you to hit the deli with a vengeance on your way out.
