Fishers in the City

Fishers Bistro way out in Leith has been such a success that Edinburgh was practically begging for a branch closer to town, here is a smart, stylish, modern bistro in New Town with all the virtues of the original Fishers: superb ingredients, memorable cooking, fleet and caring service, and great atmosphere.

Fish is still the raison d'etre, although you'll find a very few non-piscatorial dishes on the constantly-changing menu. Try starter of oysters, the poached Lindisfarne ones if they're in season when you're on site, main course of stuffed whole sea bass with chorizo, mozzarella and olives, and dessert of chocolate truffle cake with wild berry coulis. Great staff, smartish decor, relaxed ambience.
