Plumed Horse: This friendly family eatery, fronted by Ian Bruce, whose father was born in Hawthornbank Place, off North Fort Street, has been awarded 3 AA Rosettes and regained the all important Michelin Star. The old port has recently and affectionately been dubbed "The Michelin Mile" due to the close proximity of The Plumed Horse, Martin Wishart and The Kitchin. The ever-growing reputation of the Plumed Horse is steadily bringing in a loyal and varied clientele. So, be careful. You have to book well in advance especially for weekends.

Suruchi, however, is a gem amongst them all, serving truly authentic Indian cuisine in an atmosphere and surroundings where you'd be forgiven for forgetting that you were in Scotland. Thankfully Suruchi has opened a second restaurant here in Leith so you've not far to go to taste the best Indian food going.

The King's Wark Restaurant and Bar: The King’s Wark has been refreshing the good and great of Leith for as long as there have been Leithers. One of the oldest buildings in Leith, the King’s Wark is certainly not short of character and as such offers a welcome break from the glossy façade that now covers so much of EH6. Providing a refuge from the bustle of the Shore, with a calm atmosphere of candle and firelight, it engenders a glowing warmth among its patrons built upon satisfaction time and again.

The Ship on the Shore: There are few establishments in Leith that manage to combine a successful restaurant with a thriving, bar - most tend to excel in one and lag slightly in the other. That's not the case at The Ship on the Shore where drinkers are catered for with the same care with which the kitchen impresses its own patrons: comfortable seating, a fine range of beers and wines and barstaff who know what they're doing.
