Mara

With views across the famous Water of Leith, Mara is a hidden gem perched right on the Shore.

The bright dining space evokes a continental feel, like sipping wine by the water’s edge, making it the perfect choice for food and fun with friends. Inside, a stylish blend of tiled textures and soft lighting sets the tone for relaxed yet refined dining. It’s a space designed for special moments, meaningful catch-ups or intimate group dinners.

Mara’s award-winning mixologists shake up signature tipples, while bartenders bring top-shelf spirits to life with cocktail flair. And it’s not just about the cocktails — an extensive drink selection ensures there’s a perfect sip to match every plate.

With a delicious new menu on offer, it's all about indulgence. Think haggis bonbons and crispy coconut prawns, or shareable dishes like gooey baked camembert and grilled harissa tofu skewers served with kebab shop salad. Larger plates include Baja fish tacos, generously filled with battered cod, guacamole and chipotle salsa.

From leisurely lunches to evening indulgence, Mara delivers flavour, flair and feel-good vibes from day to night.
