A table by
the river.

Overlooking the meandering flow of the Water of Leith at Canonmills — seasonal, produce-led cooking and a drinks terrace over the water, in the heart of the city.

The setting

On the banks of what was once
Edinburgh’s most vital waterway.

A two-storey stone building on the edge of the Water of Leith, restored into a spacious and bright riverside restaurant — smoked oak, marble, antique maps of the old city, and windows that follow the river.

Downstairs, a room for the smaller, closer occasions. Outside, a drinks terrace over the flowing water — a view no other table in Edinburgh can offer.

A taste of the menu

The best of the season,
plated with care.

Modern Scottish cooking, led by the produce — sourced from local butchers, fishmongers and grocers, and changed with the seasons every month.

Menus change monthly, so these are a taste rather than a promise.

At the heart of the community

A river worth giving back to.

From every Water-of-Leith-inspired cocktail we pour, 50p goes to the Water of Leith Conservation Trust — care for the river that gives the room its view, poured one drink at a time.
