Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.

In a location more useful to locals than those after destination dining and drinking, Leith’s iso-bar has long since deservedly outstripped the era of the style bar with an attention to detail that’s best exemplified by the food. Chef and co-owner Allan Woodhall seems to have nailed a formula which allows him to produce richly flavoured, affordable and hearty pub food with no fuss but plenty of fans. A tapas menu features delicious salt and chilli fried squid, firm to the bite but delicately battered, while mains include a range of burgers, a Spanish sausage and chicken linguini and an inventive home-made macaroni pie in rich cheese sauce and shortcrust pastry. There are twice-weekly live music sets upstairs and the Tennerfest three-course lunch deal is a real bargain.

  • High point: Good live music program and great food
  • Low point: Some of the snug booth seats have seen better days
