Alby's SouthsideB

94 Buccleuch St, Edinburgh EH8 9NH · Sandwich shop, Bakery · Edinburgh

Creative, oversized focaccia sandwiches with bold global flavors; excellent quality and friendly vibes, but expect grease, limited seating, no restroom, and prices around £12–14 per sandwich.

The verdict

Alby's Southside excels with exceptional food quality—house-baked focaccia and bold, globally inspired fillings earn consistent praise—and friendly, attentive service. However, inconsistent execution with occasional grease and over-frying, combined with cramped seating and no restroom, prevents grade A territory. A standout sandwich destination that delivers solid value but lacks the refinement of higher-rated establishments.

One caveat: Sandwiches can be greasy or over-fried on off days; a few diners reported feeling queasy
