A Room in Leith

Leith


This restaurant (and its companion bar, Teuchters Landing) inhabits a warren of nooks and crannies in a red-brick former waiting room (for ferries across the Firth of Forth), with a bright conservatory and outdoor tables on a floating terrace in the dock. The Scottish-flavoured menu includes haggis with whisky sauce, and Shetland scallops with crab and smoked-haddock risotto.
