Hi

The OH is sitting next to me (she runs Tigerlily in Edinburgh) and suggests -

1) If you can get a table at The Honours in Castle Street (centre of town) it would be worth a go - newly opened by a Michelin star chef, it's a cheaper version of his original restaurant but will be very good.
2) If you want to stay in Leith try The Ship on the Shore - If you are staying at Malmaison its not far

cheers

Tim

Try the cellar door. Went recently and it was very good and reasonably priced. Near King George V bridge

"The Shore" in Leith is excellent and reasonably priced.

Any good?

Another vote for The Shore. I used to work in a Leith shore bar, so I know them all. Kings Wark not bad either, but it's more of a gastropub. Teuchtars on the Shore (spelling!) is another decent effort.

went about 7 years ago now (didnt think it was that long !!) was really nice actually great service and food was very tasty but i suppose it may have changed since then.

After recommending The Honours (Martin Wishart) to the OP I ended there today after they got an amazing review in the SOS. One word - amazing. Seemingly they had spent a lot of time researching how to cook the perfect steak and came up this oven/bbq/chargrill thing that cooks it at 650 degrees - it works because my steak was first class! Got a tour round the kitchen and their attention to detail was frightening.
