D-licious – SADLY NOW CLOSED

Today was my second visit to D-licious on Lothian Road, having briefly popped in, just before Christmas. On that occasion, I timed things rather badly, as I arrived just after half a dozen folks had just ordered full breakfasts. In a frank assessment of the situation, the helpful counter woman let me know that my order would take at least fifteen minutes, so if I was in a hurry, I’d perhaps better try somewhere else. I was very appreciative of this honest advice, so was pre-disposed to like the place, when I crossed the threshold, today.

The second thing that had me intrigued about the place was the mention on their specials board of a number of Welsh dishes. As far as I’m aware, that makes D-licious the only place in the city offering these delights, so that’s worth noting.

My requirement today was for a hearty breakfast roll, to chase away the dreadfully stormy weather that was in full cry, outside. I opted for a doubler of scrambled eggs and bacon, topped with brown sauce.

The friendly counter man was quickly about the task of preparing things, with my well-stocked roll soon with me. I ate on the go, buffeted this way and that by the swirling wind.

The roll proved to be very good, with soft and well-seasoned eggs accompanied by plentiful bacon, all wrapped up in a good, fresh morning roll. It was a jolly lovely way to start what was the first official working day of 2014.

So overall, I liked my visits to D-licious, very much. I’m intrigued to go back and try some of their Welsh specials, so will need to do that, soon. For now, I can recommend the place for a good breakfast feed.
