Waterfront, Edinburgh

The Waterfront is set in a converted red-brick Steamship passenger waiting room. It's a lively restaurant, full of dark-wood character and movement, yet it manages to be the kind of place in which you can unwind as everything happens around you. There's a pontoon outside which is opened for summer dining and affords splendid views of the docks. Savour the marine flavours of a primarily fishy menu or plump for a rump or sirloin steak. Vegetarians are catered for with a good choice of dishes. Continue the pleasurable experience with a visit to the characterful bar area.
