Old Chain Pier - Edinburgh, City of

During my trip to Edinburgh, we made a reservation at this restaurant with a nice view from our window seat, despite the bad weather outside. The atmosphere was relaxed with only a few tables occupied. For starters, we ordered the clam chowder which was full of delicious ingredients, creamy, and served with crunchy sourdough bread. My mother had the mushroom and tarragon soup from the specials menu, which warmed us up on a cold autumn day. Our main course was mussels, which was enjoyable but could have been a larger portion for the price. The fish and chips were crispy and of premium quality, although we felt it could have used some mushy peas or garnish. Some of the chips seemed like scraps from the bottom of the fryer and lacked substance. We also tried the lemon posset from the specials, which was delightful and smelled amazing. The service was friendly and attentive, with my allergies taken into consideration. Overall, we enjoyed our lunch and would love to visit again in the future.

We are from Newhaven and frequent this restaurant often. The food is exceptional, especially the dishes, and the outdoor seating area is perfect for enjoying a coffee.

We enjoyed a delicious meal at this restaurant. The seafood was fresh and the flavors were great. The service was very friendly. The variety of beers available was greater than what you typically find in most pubs in Edinburgh. Our table in the main part of the restaurant had stunning views overlooking the Firth of Forth. Despite the wild weather that day, we were able to admire the ever-changing view from the comfort of this cozy pub.

Had an excellent meal here with my husband. We also had our three dogs with us. They were very dog friendly. The staff were lovely and friendly. The food was really delicious. I had the Shetland mussels as a main course. My husband had the hunters chicken burger and the squid starter. All lovely well cooked and tasty. And the view is fantastic. Well worth a visit.

Reservation highly suggested. The view and food were excellent. We had Haddock and fries ….perfection. The Bruschetta appetizer was fantastic. Great dining experience.
