    Breakfast was outstanding. Simple but flavorful. I had the haggis Benedict and the wife and apple pancakes. If you've never had Haggis, this is definitely a good watch to try it for the first time.

    I can't speak highly enough about our experience at Mara. The food and drinks were all delicious, and service was top-notch. Felt like we were dining with friends, rather than visitors to Leith. Highly recommend checking out Mara!

    Lovely food (big portion and really tasty) and staff, thank you for acknowledging my husbands birthday! The only negative but this is just really picky is that we sat near the door which was a bit chilly and the door made an awful noise every time it was opened. Don't miss out thought guys it's well worth a visit
