The Shore
4/7/2010
What a lovely place! It's in a great location and has lovely views of Leith and the canal. A few of my mums friends have told me to come to this place for yelp, and I'm annoyed it took me so long to come here! It's got a great reputation amongst locals, which is always a sign of a good restaurant.
The staff are lovely, they really want you to have a good time and they are at your beck and call.
The atmosphere is cosy, really pleasant and what you'd expect from a busy restaurant. The food is lovely too, everything is mouth watering and reasonable!
All in all, a wonderful experience!

Having only just discovered the delights of Leith, I am now about to do my first review of a place on the waterfront.
Firstly, I was attracted to this place first because of how full it was - odd reasoning you may thing, but frannkly it was an excellent reason as the atmopshere here is great on balmy sunny evenings such as the evening we were here.
The staff were friendly and helpful, especially at the bar which was so well stocked I couldnt believe it - they even had my favourate drink which I always struggle to get anywhere.
The restaurant itself was sublime, the menu is mostly fish based, but there are a few other options. However, the fish that is served here is deleiciuos, so I strongly recommend eating here as often as you can, to try all the menu.

I haven't had the pleasure of dining in the restaurant part of The Shore, but the bar part is really superb.
Dark, atmospheric and really cosy, this bar would be perfect for a glass of wine after a big meal in the five star restaurant. We nipped in for a drink one evening and the bar was quiet, which is perhaps why the staff were so attentive. I loved the décor, which was old fashioned but really lovely, and the dark wood set off the ambiance perfectly. We had a bottle of white wine, which was quite reasonably priced at £15.
The restaurant was busying up when we were leaving, and it looked great!

The Shore is a little haven of atmospheric bars and restaurants in Leith, away from the centre of town, and away from most of the places I've already been to about a thousand times, purely because I was feeling lazy and couldn't be bothered to walk the extra 20 minutes into Leith from the centre, or jump on a 5 minute bus to come that tiny, wee bit further.
The Shore and the Water of Leith are really pretty, both at night, and especially during a beaming, sunny day. I think when you live in a busy city, it's always good to know you have that option of being by the sea, and it's nice just having a wander about here, in between the chains of the pier and over the little bridge. There is the consistently delicious Fishers restaurant to visit, Malmaison, The Ship, and various other good looking bars and restaurants to pick from. Ocean Terminal shopping centre is also just a quick stroll up the road, if you fancy some shopping entertainment.

Had dinner here my last night in Edinburgh. The place was packed though this may not say much as almost every place seemed to be packed on a Friday night.
The staff was friendly and was kind enough to squeeze us in without a reservation. The seafood chowder was excellent. I would've licked the bowl except somehow I felt I needed to be on my best behavior as an American.
I had the crab special which was also delicious.
