  • Carnivore

    208 Cowgate, EH1 1LL

    Old Town, Edinburgh

    Cuisine: Steaks & Grill, Gastro Pub

    About Carnivore

    As you’d expect by the name, Carnivore is all about the meat (which isn’t to say that there aren’t a few creative veggie options too).

    The stylishly stripped down interior puts the focus firmly on the food, while the menu itself has a distinctly cross-Atlantic appeal. So expect Philly cheesesteaks and reuben sandwiches jostling for attention alongside fish & chips and pork belly with mash.
