good service , quick and cheap at least at lunch time! the mussels are really fresh and you've got 4 choices to eat them: morocan is spicy ! good soup and salad , the wine is good as well and so the beer

Coco Hatrick

A delicious dinner of grilled mussels , whitebait , seafood platter , crab cakes with truly first rate service, and a perfect bottle of wine . Dessert (Affogato ) was fab too. 💖👌🏼

Kamran Efendioglu

Easily ranked #1 seafood restaurant in Edinburgh. prices are Nearly 50% cheaper than iceland.. everything I tried was fresh and delicious. prawn curry was delicious. I advise mixed platter

Fabian Martin

W.O.W such a good place. My fav was the blue cheese mussels (yes, really) even tho it’s very salty. Also clam chowder was delicious! Absolutely avoid the oysters , it was like drinking ocean water

Clara Eloy

Delicious food! Chowder was great, blue cheese Mussels , salmon on toast , heck even the garlic bread . The oysters were not very good but the rest was 10/10

Sofia Lazani

Beg if you must, but do not miss visiting this place when you go to Edinburgh. The food is just fantastic. Fresh, tasty and good value for money . And excellent service. I just love this place 💜

Cenk Gümüşcüoğlu

A cosy seafood restaurant . You need to make a reservation for dinner , it's very crowded between 7-10pm. Order mussels , they are good. (Even though the sauce was delicious Shallot smelled weird)

Zomula

Fresh oysters , superb chargrilled scaloops, spicy Maroccan mussels . Everything is fresh and tasty also meringue and cream strawberry confusion.

Don't listen to the person who says 1kg of mussels is too much! The blue cheese mussels are to die for. House wine is pretty good ad reasonably priced. Reserving a table is a must as it gets so busy.

Fiona G.👑

Fresh mussels with affordable prices , service was quick. Seafood chowder was OK as I couldn't find other seafood in it apart from chunks of fish and potatoes . Would still recommend for seafood lovers!

Bella Barseghyan

Best dinner in Edinburgh. Mussels are to die for, wine list very affordable , service excellent, will definitely recommend.

Reid Hutchison

1/2 Kg tup of mussels plenty for one person (approx 25). Go for the 1Kg only if you have a bit appetite and/or forgoing other courses.

Chaundra

We had a great dinner - portions were more generous than expected and the prices weren't too bad either. Very well considered wine list and friendly service .

Jamie L

Obviously the mussels , but if you want to go against the grain the Orkney steak is best I've had in a long time.

Nago

Lovely Mussels ! Raw oysters are a bit small but still OK. Staffs are friendly . Price is cheaper than the worth of food.

Hao Tran

Ignore the Foursquare rating. For 7.5 quid you get a gigantic bowl of fresh mussels (go for shallot , sauce is incredible), bread+butter, wine , and french fries . Best lunch I've had in the UK.

Réka Schneider

Lunch quickies are fantastic and mussels are absolutely the best I have ever tasted. Inspite of foursquare info about opening hours it is open whole afternoon long.

Dalal

The moroccan mussels are the best, little spicy but yummey, also I have tried the tiger prawns with egg noodles it was amazing

W T

Mussel platter for starter. Mussel pot for main course. Hope they have mussel ice cream for dessert soon.

Fred Dickson

Really nice restaurant with good fresh seafood . I walked in and was lucky to get a table, so I would recommend you book in advance.

Tam ST

The iced oysters from Isle of Mull were under nutrient. May be not in good season. The mussels were fantastic, very well grown. Tiger prawn egg noodle is in Thai style, taste good but not special.

Malu Nickel

Place is simple, food absolutely excellent. Recommend platter of mussels with garlic butter as starter and Shellfish pasta as main.

Kamran Efendioglu

The butter and garlic sous wiped off from the plate just with bread ...

Lau

Perfect match of mussels and crispy French bread !!! (the bread is free refill!!!) definitely a Must try when it scots... The mussels are perfectly cooked... Absolutely delicious

Sera

Great restaurant , excellent service, friendly staff , effordable prices! 1/2 pounds of mussels with a beer and french fries only 7,5 Pounds. Highly recommended

Domrongpon Tanpaibul

1/2 kg mussels for each person seems to be the right portion. We didn't order main but it looks to be a big plate . Mussels are absolutely lovely and fresh.

Adelaide Dias

Red peppers and blue cheese pot of mussels DELICIOUS!! Half kilo is enough per person... The starter made of haggis is excellent as well .

Maria ⚓ S.

Great fresh mussels . Check for specialities. Oysters available, but if great demand, ask. Seasonal, friendly , cozy place! 5+

This is not -despite what foursquare may say- the best seafood restaurant in Edinburgh. Some on the list are far superior. This is nice, very cheap , and friendly , but it’s pretty basic

Jessica Chang

Awesome food and price is fair . Love the fish and mussel fish .

Amy Lotsberg

Shallot mussels are wonderful and the seafood chowder is great too.

Pablo Suárez

Excelent service. Friendly staff . Delicious mussels . Crab pasta is a good choice.

Edoardo de Pantz

Probably the best fish restaurant in Edinburgh. However, my mussels are much better!

Zizhen Zhang

Really good place, fantastic oysters and mussels . I also like soup !!

Olya Klimenko

Mussels are great! Grilled oysters , squid rings, sticky pudding - everything is super!

Oriane

Excellent seafood restaurant . Never been disappointed by their mussels and the service is great. The restaurant is usually busy so book in advance :).

Darrell Sim

Seafood chowder , shellfish pasta and 1/2 kg mussel Moroccan style.

Stephanie Reese

Great find. Everything was amazing! Try the shrimp , mussels , everything!

Melissa Edington

We had a kilo of mussels each they were really delicious. And bread to dip in the sauce!

Oleksii Glib

Perfect, fresh seafood (salmon , oyster , mussels ). Mussels are more than perfect in different sauces.

Patrícia de Carvalho

The tastiest chowder I've ever tried! Fresh food , Fair prices and nice staff !

Maj Dørup

Like a seashell this place doesn't look like much, but it reveals true beauty when you taste the food!

Terry Biusing

Fresh oysters were great with good wine ! Excellent service too!! Well done!

Leemor Yuravlivker

Clams and mussels were good, very cozy spot

Alyssa Schulke

Loved the chowder and the oysters . Half a kilo of mussels was more than enough to share.

Elena Shatalova

Great hot seafood platter ! Nice wine carte. The table should be booked in advance
