Food Scene

A classic shore bar with outdoor seating right on the water of Leith. Gastropub food, great ales, I recommend the fish & chips - but if you're feeling brave the haggis, neeps and tatties are the best!

One of the top five coffee shops in Edinburgh, the best coffee in the Shore. I recommend the flat white and if it's sunny it's a nice spot to people watch!

Proper Indian food, served up in style. The restaurant itself is just breathtakingly beautiful. You can see and smell the dishes being cooked up as you enter and if you have to wait for a table in the underground bar then consider yourself lucky, as the drinks are to die for too!
