restaurant recommendations: service + interior + food & wine * fair ** good *** excellent
^ unreviewed
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.
Quiet - again, non-contemporary - seafood restaurant. Skipper's is tucked away near the Waterfront Bistro: included due to great reputation, but it's pricey

Malmaison Hotel
The Shore, Leith

Former Seaman's Mission, restored in 1994 to make what has become a well known Edinburgh restaurant, and hotel. The Malmaison Edinburgh Interior when reviewed first in 2000 let this establishment down, especially the heavly-ornate darkwood island bar.
