Old Chain Pier in Leith

Old Chain Pier offers great food and an amazing view of the Firth of Forth. The staff was incredibly friendly and responsive.

This is one of my favorite restaurants in Edinburgh. The food is delicious, and their special drinks are absolutely fantastic! They also have the best ocean view. The staff is incredibly friendly, which made our experience even better. My friend and I had a great time there and, in fact, we went twice during our week-long stay. I highly recommend this place.

The fish and chips were excellent. I also had the soup of the day, which was a very unique tomatillo and coconut milk. It had a little space and was very flavorful.

This charming seaside restaurant in Edinburgh offers breathtaking views of the ocean, adding an incredible touch to the dining experience. The atmosphere is comfortable and inviting, creating a relaxed and enjoyable setting. The staff are warm and friendly, providing service that’s just the right balance—attentive without being overbearing, allowing guests to fully enjoy their time. Although I had heard that this was a popular spot among influencers, I believe their food is truly of high quality, not merely relying on the stunning views to attract customers. The dishes themselves are impressive and definitely worth trying.

The overall dining experience was positive, albeit with some notable areas for improvement. The food quality was generally good, but there was a noticeable lack of salt and flavor, which detracted from the dishes’ potential. The service was adequate, though it could have been more attentive and polished. One of the main drawbacks was the delay in receiving our food. We experienced a considerable wait, which was somewhat mitigated by the wonderful ambience. A local band playing traditional music added a delightful touch to the atmosphere. The restaurant’s location is its standout feature. Situated right above the sea, the view was nothing short of spectacular. We were even lucky enough to spot dolphins swimming, which added a magical element to our visit. The combination of the ocean view and the overall setting significantly enhanced the experience. While the prices were on the higher side, they were still acceptable given the unique location and the overall experience. In summary, while there is room for improvement in the food and service, the ambience and location make this restaurant worth a visit.
