  Superb in all ways

  My second visit to Leith and second visit for the lunchy brunch in A Room in Leith and was just as fabulous as the first time. To cover the breakfast bit, we had the eggs Benedict served on a buttery with a perfect poached egg with the finest hollandaise sauce. For the lunch bit we had the lamb shank with the meat falling off the bone. We ate at 12.15am and only had drinks and crisps later!

Scottish bistro in Leith

Along with its sister restaurant in the West End, A room in Leith seafood and game bistro bar offers Scottish bistro dishes at affordable prices. Informal and friendly, the Leith restaurant sits by the waterside on Dock Place. During the warmer months, visitors can enjoy pre-dinner drinks on the outside terrace at the adjacent Teuchters’ Bar, which is owned by the same team.

Fresh, local ingredients

From Shetland scallops to Borders beef and Stornoway black pudding, Scottish ingredients take pride of place on the menus at A Room in Leith seafood and game bistro bar. The seafood, meat and veggie sharing platters are always popular as are the pots of Scottish mussels which are available with a selection of sauces including Dunsyre blue cream, white wine and bacon bits. The menus change regularly but typical main courses might be the seared sea bream with king scallops, pea and spinach purée plus tattie fritters or the lamb rump served with samphire, potatoes, broad beans and a redcurrant and port sauce. When in season, Scottish game features prominently and the Scottish cheeseboard is well worth in-depth investigation.
