Pier Brasserie - Bar and Grill in Edinburgh, City of

The menu is varied, they have several options for vegetarians and the service is very friendly and attentive. The place is very nice and close to the port of Edinburgh.

All the service was great but the host was particularly outstanding! He would go out of his way to help and make you feel welcome :) the food was delicious and atmosphere spot on- would highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Can only repeat myself… another fantastic meal. From arrival till farewell it was amazing. Had the mussels (again) and boy, it did not fail to deliver. The mussels super fresh and the sauce is to die for. This time we had individual steaks and and all cooked to perfection and the highest of qualit meat. Peas & leaks with bacon is a must! Service was, as usual, friendly, professional and smoth. Great ambiance, great music…. Overall 10/10 Be back again soon….

Mark (the owner) is the definition on how you should run a great restaurant with superior service. Went there with my family and we had the pleasure of having Mark providing us with magnificent service. Everything was done the right way that evening. Drinks were served right away and always ready to check on us if there was anything we needed. We had wide selection of starters and mains and it tasted all great and was reasonably priced. Would recommend this fun and great tasting reataurant to anybody.

The food was so good we ate here twice during our 4 night stay in Leith. Everything about the restaurant is classy, the decor, nicely spaced tables, great menu choices and the service is professional and attentive. The food is wonderful, well presented and portion sizes are just right for both starters and mains. On the first visit I had the beef cheeks and they were simply delicious. The Scottish mussel starter was a treat, lovely tender mussels in a rich creamy sauce. The place is definitely worth a visit and we would not hesitate to go back.

What can I say, everything superb. We had the ribeye steak and it was cooked to perfection as was everything else.

Visited Pier Brasserie last night after receiving an Itison voucher as a birthday present from my son. The experience did not disappoint. We had a lovely evening in the very pleasant surroundings of Pier Brasserie. The meal was excellent with a good selection on the menu. We were served by Shona who looked after us and made us feel very welcome during the course of the evening. We opted for the beef cheeks which proved to be an excellent choice. This was a first and unexpected visit for us due to the gift of the Itison voucher, which has encouraged us to plan a return visit with some friends, in the near future. We are delighted to have found a new place to spend an enjoyable evening and have no hesitation in recommending Pier Brasserie.

We thoroughly enjoyed our evening at the Pier Brasserie. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Lovely atmosphere.

We didn’t book but the restaurant was far from full so we were shown to a table quite quickly. Our server was very professional, efficient and friendly. Quite the full package. My husband had chicken and I the sea bream. The chicken was supposed to come with haggis but there was no sign of it on the plate. My fish was well presented but I was rather put off by a fishy smell from the plate which does not happen with fresh fish. It was well cooked but both plates could have done with a few more veg. Not looking for big portions but one should feel satisfied when leaving the table. The sweets were not really appealing but we decided to give the lavender cake a try. A very small, insipid sponge was presented and sprayed with some lavender flavouring by the server, which made no difference to the dry, flavourless course. We are very local to this restaurant and will probably return in the hope some suggestions may be taken on board soon.

Am losing count as to how many times we have been here, it just gets better each time. The staff are always excellent, attentive but not obtrusive. The decor and atmosphere are contemporary but warm and homely at the same time, best of both. Cocktails - you have to try them, had a few, and so far they are all great. Finally, the food, had lots of different things off the menu, and fabulously, I haven't found a lesser choice yet, there are NO bad dishes, just stuff that are not to your taste - but try them anyway, you may change your mind they are that good! Serves the best seafood/meat/veggie meals

Beautiful restaurant located in the lovely port of Newhaven, Edinburgh, right on the waterfront on the historic buildings of the fish market when it was a fishing port. We just turned up for lunch and it was a pleasant experience. Service was hreat, friendly, helpful staff, couldn't do enough for us. Kudos to the kitchen, delicious food with incredibly beautiful presentation and generous portions. Very reasonably priced too. We had a wonderful time. Mussels were delicious, fish and chips really tasty and the best was a very original lemon and lavender cake with coconut ice-cream and calvados... Superb!! Definitely will be coming back often, what a hidden gem!!

An impromptu lunch for two. This was our first visit to the pier brasserie, and won't be our last.. friendly staff.. great food.. and fantastic views.. clean and tidy, nothing bad to say really.. Thank you all at the pier brasserie for a warm welcome, and for making us both feel special.

A dark Tuesday night on Leith Waterfront lit up by this stunning restaurant. Great food, atmosphere and service made this a wonderful eating experience without breaking the bank! If we were locals we would be regulars!

The drinks, the atmosphere, the view, the FOOD — all SO GOOD! We were with dear friends who had never been to Scotland, and I wanted to find a special place, and The Pier did not disappoint! The decor really worked the seaside theme but in a modern, updated way. The service was very attentive, the food & drinks were outstanding; all in all, a fabulous kickoff to our trip. It’s was definitely a cab ride from where we were in Edinburgh, but so worth it!!!

This is without doubt one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh. We’ve been here several times and the food is truly exceptional. Friendly staff and a reasonably priced wine list make for a great experience. Tucked away overlooking Newhaven harbour, it’s well worth a visit. Try the oysters and Chateaubriand.

We stumbled upon Pier Brasserie while visiting the Newhaven Harbour in Edinburgh. We mostly had appetizers and drinks. First, the beer was cold and good, but they had a limited selection. For food, we had the raw oysters, mussels, onion rings, bread w/oil, the fish...

I live in Newhaven with my boyfriend and I’m not sure why we’ve waited until now to attend Pier Brasserie. My partner booked us a last minute table at 8pm on a Saturday night and we nipped along to check the place out. We received...

Visiting tourists ... clean, welcoming and extraordinarily elegant venue. Excellent and varied menu, both in terms of dishes and drinks. Exceptional note of merit to the Chef, professional, competent, and very kind.

We have spent a week in Edinburgh at the fringe festival enjoying all it has to offer including the food. Pier brasserie offers a beautiful room in which to dine, attentive service and excellent food, the owner recognized us from our previous visit in 2021...

Having enjoyed lunch here a few months ago, we decided to return for dinner the other week. It was such a good choice! The menu was intriguing and tempting, so much so that, unusually for us, we chose different main dishes and thoroughly enjoyed them....

We had a group booking here for an engagement celebration. The food and service was excellent. Everything was as requested and everyone had a great time! Will definitely be back.

Best IPA in Edinburgh by a country mile.. also, really nice and friendly staff.. particularly impressed in advising a group of smokers to move aside, done with skill and tact..as a one time customer service trainer, I was impressed.. will return..

The food we had last night was delicious from starter through to dessert. The fish was perfectly cooked with amazing flavours in all our dishes. The pan fried fillet of sea bream being the highlight. Would also recommend the Austrian Zero G wine, dry and...

Excellent meal and the service was superb. Shawna gave us an excellent experience! The mussels were fantastic. The duck meal was delicious. Beautiful view of the pier and harbour on a sunny evening.

Superb meals enjoyed by everyone in our party. The staff were all very friendly & went out of their way to please. Highly recommended.

Very surprised to get a short notice booking, especially for six people. Nice and concise menu, nothing too confusing. Lovely welcome from staff and the table layed out nicely. Reasonably priced beers, good German beer. We had grilled Bream, red pepper Ragu. Absolutely lovely. Nice...

We cannot fault this restaurant - the food, service and ambiance were all first class. Reasonably priced for the quality. Highly recommend.

Restaurant almost empty on a Saturday lunchtime...always a bad sign. Friendly staff, but desperately slow service between courses, which was ridiculous when it wasn't busy. Steak excellent, mussels good, but ham hough terrine dreadful, dry, tasteless. Altogether not great.

Came here in the evening for dinner for the first time. Place looked very good and the staff were friendly. Food was excellent and the service very good until we got the bill and found that a 10% service charged had been added. This really...

Great food and a cheerfully friendly welcome on a chilly spring Sunday. A great addition to the existing eateries on the harbour.

Delightful smiling service, attentive to the details, great value food, cooked perfectly. We came without a reservation on a busy Sunday and we’re welcomed warmly. Wines by the glass were all excellent and the perfect temperature. Steak cooked just as I wanted and tender; well...

Genuinely probably the best restaurant in Edinburgh. So yes it’s out of town but the setting is beautiful whatever the weather, right on the water with the most amazing sunsets. The food, well what can I say it’s just amazing, steak is my favourite but...

We live locally to the Pier Brasserie and it has been consistently brilliant since it open a couple of years ago. Have been on nearly a dozen occasions now and it doesn’t disappoint, whether that be for drinks on the decking, couples dinners or having...

Overall i and my wife enjoyed the meal and experience. We weren't overly hungry having eaten out fro lunch and that was probably just as well as the portions are not large. Starters were good ~ veloute and pate - and the same for the...

nothing too fault, Balmoral chicken should be changed to Newhaven chicken,excellent, best lunch in a long time, well done to a restaurant that knows how to look after its customers, Chris and Susan.

We visited recently for a lunch with my parents. The service and food were both fantastic. Steak was the best! I will definitely return, this is a place for all age groups, great decor, very cool and beautifully clean.

We’ve now been twice since The Pier reopened after refurbishment. It has a lovely atmosphere and the bar area is a very cosy place to sit for a pre dinner or after dinner drink. Our first visit was for dinner and the food was delicious...

We enjoyed a lovely first visit to the Pier Brasserie on a quiet Wednesday evening in March. The quality of every course, from the oysters, mussels & prawn starters to the chateaubriand to share, was superb and excellently cooked. The service too was first class...

What a find. The most stylish restaurant in the Leith area with a gorgeous chill area as well. Food was spot on and the staff couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. Will definitely return!

I booked a table for 8 to celebrate my 30th birthday. We had a fantastic evening! Restaurant is beautifully decorated. Prawn starter and Chateaubriand were delicious. Look forward to returning :)

We always love coming to The Pier. There’s always a fantastic welcome for us, and now they’ve had a bit of a refurb there are some lovely comfy chairs to sit in while you peruse the menu with a glass of fizz (if that’s your...

Visited for a birthday celebration, whilst couldn’t fault the staff and their attention and the ambience, the menu is quite restricted, the food is mediocre and by no stretch of the imagination are the beef dripping chunky chips what I expect a chunky chip to...

With a view over the Firth of Forth to the bridges, the location is perfect. Matched by sophisticated decor, excellent service and tasty, well-presented dishes, we will soon be making another booking.

Beautifully situated in Newhaven harbour. Superb service, friendly yet professional. Fresh oysters to die for (from best fishmonger in Edinburgh right next door) and the chateaubriand was outstanding - top quality meat, perfectly cooked. Highly recommended.

Fabulous food and excellent, professional, friendly staff. Mark and his team made our friends special party a night to remember!

Having recently visited this restaurant using a voucher from Itison. From the minute we stepped in until we left everyone was very helpful polite and were able to advise on the menu. Although we used a voucher would certainly return as the food was outstanding.

Beautiful meal, perfectly cooked quality steaks and lovely wine. Excellent service and a lovely environment/ ambience

The Pier is a treat in every sense of the word. Mark is exceptional at what he does and the atmosphere he has created is utterly spoiling and very special. The team are really helpful and nothing is too much trouble for them. The food...
