The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

We went with another couple for lunch on a Saturday. Our food was delicious - we had opted for the set menu - in fact I would say that there were some of the best fish dishes I have had for a while. They have a wide ranging (if a bit expensive) wine list. The restaurant was not full at prime time for a weekend lunch which was surprising. The person who served us was efficient but could have been a bit more welcoming and friendly.

Ok there’s a glitch on the app. But I’ve called twice and you’ve given me the food made 2 hours ago. It’s cold! I called and you said you’d make a fresh one. But haven’t.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Following a recommendation, I ate the classic version of fish & chips, which was really very good and filling. I would go back at any time.

Female member of staff at the bristo square stall was so rude and horrible, completely put me off ever giving them my money again.

I took my mum, gran and sister on a tour round Glasgow and we all loved it. The food, service and views were fantastic!! And you can bring your own alcohol so we enjoyed a bottle of wine with our delicious food. Highly recommend!

Very nice restaurant with friendly, attentive service. We got a table without a reservation. Very good fish dishes. Price-performance ratio is okay. We had 3 courses and were very satisfied. Gladly again on the next visit.

Nice restaurant and nice atmosphere. My oysters didn’t seem right I ordered Whole lobster thermidor at £68. Very disappointed. It wasn’t whole. This lobster had no claws. It was dry and served on it own on a plate with a side tin of fries. No garnish to dress it up or make it look special. I didn’t complain because it would ruin the evening Wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend The bottle of Rioja was nice. My wife’s dish looked lovely.

My partner and I visited The Pepperpot with a couple of family members for Sunday lunch. We took advantage of the three-course set lunch (priced at £20.95) which had a good choice of roast meat, fish, and vegetarian dishes included

First meal here in Edinburgh from the USA and i am so happy with this experience! Their bread appetizer amazing great quality bread and their 3 dips. my boyfriend and I decided to play it safe with the Haddock and chips. The flavor and freshness of The Haddock and the chips were a great choice but I wish I hadn’t played it safe, I feel like I missed out on other amazing dishes. Definitely will be back!

Gutted because this was my favourite chippy in Edinburgh but it appears to have closed. Cannot find a listing for it anymore on JustEat etc and was shut last time I went past.

It was an incredible experience. As seafood lovers, the tasting menu was a lot of fun. Some highs, some lows (mostly to do with salt), but overall, we were very happy. The 'corn dog' at the beginning was delightful, crispy, smoky, hot, and slightly spicy. The second course was my favourite. I called it shreddies with fish. I've never had such a well-balanced and tasty bowl of shreddies! I would say the petals were a little unnecessary. It was such a different style of dish than I've ever had before, with the cubes of trout delicately nestled at the bottom of the bowl that . More pickles would have been welcomed, though. The third course was the difficult one for us. We love mussles! And I absolutely adore fresh tarragon, so the flavours were spot on. The only issue was the broth. It was so salty that we were craving something unsalted to balance it. I decided to order bread. which, as a standalone course, was fantastic. It was a paprika foccacia that felt like cornbread and tasted smoky and salty with a smoked salt butter. So delicious! But it definitely didn't work or help with the mussel broth. The fourth fish course was absolutely amazing. The fish melted in the mouth. Again, it was possibly a little salty and needed some more sharp flavours to cut through it. But overall, I couldn't get enough of it. The dessert, despite being far too full, was one of the best desserts I've ever had. They managed to make rhubarb not slimy! And that sharp lime flavour was so tasty and very welcomed after all the sodium we had indulged on. We would love to come back!

We had a pleasure visiting this place recently and what a great experience it was. We knew what we wanted to order upfront - the Big Matt Burger. Yeah-yeah, it’s a steakhouse. But OMG, this burger is worth all the awards it had. It’s just that good. Starters were plentiful and tasty as well. The place is nice and the service was very welcoming and laid back. It’s located in the building built in early 20th century which used to be the Scottish Bank. Built to mimic the style old American banks. Overall inside it very stylish and while you wait for your order you can definitely enjoy the interior. Do I recommend? Yes! Will I come back or try it in other places? Yes to that as well.

Wow wow wow! Ondine at Seaton House was the most fabulous experience. Firstly the setting, sea views in a beautifully decorated room. It’s comfortable, sophisticated but super welcoming as well. The food is Roy Brett’s usual perfection. We enjoyed a range of seafood and beef all cooked and presented beautifully. Finally, the staff are charming and super professional. Shout out to Craig and Roy for looking after us so well. Most definitely worth the trip north to St Andrews. And look forward to coming back soon.

Excellent food, well-stocked cellar, good service.

The location is outstanding. The food is mediocre at a horrendous price. This is not what one would recommend. We're not going back there, and as I understand from friends, they're not doing so either. Go to Carlton Hill, take in the view, and then eat somewhere nice....
