Make the hipster jokes early. The Lioness of Leith is a funky pub at the bottom of Leith Walk that’s full of fun decorations – like parrots, neon and a pinball machine converted into a table. It’s a complete overhaul of the dangerous and dark pub that once stood on the corner. The walls have been knocked into large windows. In the sun it’s lovely and bright. I appreciate it’ll probably get much more gloomy at night. Staff and friendly and fun. The range of drinks is good. My experience, though, The Lioness of Leith has been all about the Sunday lunches. I’m yet to try their dinner menu because it looks so weird and posh (hipster, right) but half a chicken on Sunday between two with Yorkshire...
Very oily food that gave me and our whole table awful indigestion when we got home. Who ever was in charge of the fryer did not know what they were doing. The service was slow and it took a long time for our food to come. Which was surprising considering the place wasn’t busy. The servers weren’t very attentive and it took ages to flag someone down to get another drink. Not a great experience for an expensive price tag.
This pub in the neighborhood is fantastic, offering a variety of gluten-free burger options. The quality of their buns can vary, with some days featuring delicious brioche buns and others featuring disappointing crumbly Tesco buns. The atmosphere is great and the staff is very friendly.
Great decor, good service, Chicken and veggie chicken burger were very tasty but chips were overpriced for how many you get and quality of them. Won’t bother with them next time!

I absolutely adore this bar. The staff is friendly and cool at the same time, and the food is fantastic. It's definitely my top pick in Leith, despite the competition.
We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance and, although our meal was a bit expensive, it was absolutely delicious. The staff provided excellent service.
Had to wait a long time for a so-so burger. Onion rings were inedibly greasy. My two companions ended up with terrible stomach aches in the night. Avoid.
The burgers are fantastic! They have a good variety of drinks, and the atmosphere is always lively with excellent service.

Food was good! Love the atmosphere and the servers are great! They had gluten free buns which is great if you are celiac!
Really friendly staff. The food was really good and was brought to us super fast. I especially loved the fries.
