Lothian Dining Reviews:
| * * * | Fisher’s 1 The Shore, Leith, Edinburghv: needs prior booking +44 (0)131 554 5666 Darkly atmospheric pub with celebrated food – under the former 17thC Signal Tower. Fisher’s Restaurant is a Leith institution and one of the famous Edinburgh restaurants. Booking advised in advance. |
 |
| ^ | Skipper’s 1a Dock Pl, Leith: needs prior booking +44 (0)131 554 1018 Quiet – again, non-contemporary – seafood restaurant. Skipper’s is tucked away near the Waterfront Bistro: included due to great reputation, but it’s pricey |
|
| * * * | Martin Wishart 54 The Shore, Leith: best to book +44 (0)131 553 3557 Opened in 2000 in small, discreet premises: for sumptuous food in calm surroundings, excellent sensitive service. A rare Edinburgh restaurant to be Michelin-starred. Martin Wishart restaurant has recently been refurbished and expanded. |
|
| * | Raj Restaurant 87-91 Henderson St, Leith +44 (0)131 553 3980 Great view down Water of Leith; quality Curry House, neighbours with Allan Murray Architects’ Coalhill Housing. Ordinary interior, authentic North Indian cuisine. |
 |
| * * | Malmaison Hotel The Shore, Leith +44 (0)131 468 5000 Former Seaman’s Mission, restored in 1994 to make what has become a well known Edinburgh restaurant, and hotel. The Malmaison Hotel Leith Interior when reviewed first in 2000 let this establishment down, especially the heavly-ornate darkwood island bar. Malmaison Hotel Edinburgh Review Cafe Bar / Brasserie – please call for bookings brasserie +44 (0)131 468 5002 |
