Monteiths

In the storied closes of Edinburgh’s Old Town, Monteiths Restaurant distils a journey that began in two thousand seven. Founded on a passion for quality steak and seafood, family values and years at the stove, the kitchen leans into craft and consistency. Every plate carries that commitment to good food.

The menu nods to Scotland’s larder and classic technique. A curl of smoked haddock finds lift in potato rosti, fried leeks and beurre blanc, while haggis is paired with swede, fried potato and a glossy jus. In the mains, fillet steak arrives rich with bone marrow and peppercorn sauce, and venison loin plays savoury against the brightness of cherries and the earthiness of wild mushrooms. Flavours are robust yet restrained, rooted in good produce and deft balance.

Sides are treated with the same attention - from triple-cooked chips with sea salt to tenderstem broccoli dressed in miso and smoked almond. The Old Town setting invites unhurried dining, whether it is for a lingering supper or a meal to savour.

For those seeking a taste of Edinburgh with polish and heart, Monteiths makes a persuasive case! Book a table, bring an appetite, and let the evening do the talking.
