The Kitchin

Housed in the historic Port of Leith, this restaurant has been at the forefront of the Edinburgh dining scene for years. It’s no wonder it’s such a success, given the consistent quality found in the balanced, flavoursome dishes that champion seasonal Scottish produce – come in grouse season and you won’t be disappointed. An array of menus includes a well-priced lunch option and the Prestige surprise menu, which offers the most complete experience. Try to get a table by the kitchen, which lets you in on the action via a large viewing window.
