Restaurants nearby

  • The Kitchin★ Michelin Housed in the historic Port of Leith, this restaurant has been at the forefront of the Edinburgh dining scene for years. It’s no wonder it’s such a success, given the consistent quality found in the balanced, flavoursome dishes that champion seasonal Scottish produce – come in grouse season and you won’t be disappointed. An array of menus includes a well-priced lunch option and the Prestige surprise menu, which offers the most complete experience. Try to get a table by the kitchen, which lets you in on the action via a large viewing window.17.6km
  • Martin Wishart★ Michelin For over 20 years, Martin Wishart has been welcoming diners to his eponymous restaurant in the historic and characterful port of Leith. Over the years, he has continually tweaked and reassessed the food and the décor, and the bright, modern style of the dining room is a great match for the current cooking. The kitchen shows great skill in marrying top Scottish produce like grouse and Orkney scallops with classic French technique, resulting in dishes that deliver the flavours they promise, with nothing unnecessary on the plate.17.8km
  • Heron★ Michelin There's such a pleasant feel to this neighbourhood restaurant, courtesy of a bright, clean look that’s matched by warm and unstuffy service. The skilful cooking is founded on fine Scottish produce, whether that be excellent sea trout or the finest berries from Fife. The tasting menu will allow you to make the most of the chefs’ talents, and all fits together like a well-crafted jigsaw. Ask for a table by the window if you want to watch the world go by around the Port of Leith, or opt for a seat at the spacious counter.17.9km
  • LYLA★ Michelin Edinburgh’s finest row of Georgian townhouses is the setting for this elegant seafood restaurant, where only the very best produce will do. Start in the stunning first-floor bar for an aperitif and finely crafted snacks prepared at the island counter, before moving to the understated dining room for a tasting menu based on delicious, sustainably caught fish and shellfish, be it wild halibut or Scottish langoustines. This produce drives the eye-catching dishes, which deliver subtle yet complex blends of flavours and textures. If you’re staying the night, luxurious bedrooms are available.19.9km
  • ArdfernBib Next-door neighbour and sister restaurant to The Little Chartroom, Ardfern is named after a village in Argyll & Bute that brings back fond memories for owner Roberta Hall-McCarron. Describing itself as a café, bar and bottle shop, it has an appealing brunch menu, a relaxed air and a wine list that will delight enthusiasts. You’d be a fool to miss the evening’s small plates, however, which pack in plenty of flavour and have both a heartiness and a pleasing familiarity to them. The hash browns with whipped feta and jalapeño ketchup are a particular treat.18.1km
  • Dogstar One of the newer restaurants in this Edinburgh enclave, Dogstar occupies a former pub that’s now a buzzy space run by an engaging team whose cheery service will enhance any experience. The seasonal menu can change weekly or even daily, but expect dishes suited to sharing that show off an array of prime produce (sometimes cooked over coals), including stand-outs like fresh, sweet local surf clams with sea laver, rosemary and fino sherry. The carefully curated wine list offers a good range without breaking the bank.17.6km
  • Barry Fish Yet another terrific eatery in the foodie haven of Leith, this instantly likeable restaurant unsurprisingly offers a fabulous feast of fish. From whole sole to the signature sea trout pastrami, the cooking is fuss-free and cleanly executed to show off the natural flavours of the ingredients. At lunch, share plates from the ‘Big Snacks’ selection, which at dinnertime become starters to be enjoyed before larger offerings such as a half lobster with smoked fish agnolotti. The team are one of the most welcoming around, so you’re sure to be well looked after.17.8km
  • Dùthchas Blink and you could easily miss this diminutive restaurant in an unassuming parade of shops. Given what a lovely restaurant it is, we therefore recommend walking through Leith with your eyes wide open. Inside, it’s a cosy six-table operation where the enthusiastic chefs deliver a set menu of satisfyingly original dishes. Sit back and relax as the team proudly walk you through seasonally changing creations, such as their clever take on prawn toast. Go for the wine pairing, which offers an enlightening selection of lesser-known bottles.18.0km
  • The Little Chartroom There’s an addictive buzz to this pared-back, Nordic-style restaurant on the outer fringes of Leith. The focus of the chic dining room is on a large open kitchen running across one side, where counter seats are available for those who like to be in on the action. Go for the full tasting menu to experience the breadth of the cooking, which ranges from subtle to bold flavours while always retaining a keen sense of balance. The ingredients are of great quality and frequently Scottish, like the plump, buttery scallops. The service comes with an endearing warmth.18.1km
  • eleanore Situated a little outside the city centre, there is a pleasantly relaxed feel to this neighbourhood restaurant from the team behind The Little Chartroom. With its friendly service, bright monochrome décor and high-stool seating, it's the kind of place you could happily pop in for a light lunch or come for a proper evening out. The chefs take plenty of care in preparing a menu of fresh-tasting dishes, with desserts proving a highlight. Dietary requirements are well catered for, with properly thought out vegetarian and vegan menus available on request.19.4km
