    Another great meal at the Port Of Leith. My friend and I went for the £40 set tasting menu and both agreed that it was excellent value for money. The Thai chicken soup with coconut was especially delicious. Good selection of local craft beers was available.

    There's a huge selection of whiskies and interesting food in a unique location. The staff were excellent - helpful and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. We missed the views on a winter evening so will be back for the sunsets once the days lengthen.

    Great place with excellent drinks and food menu but it’s the team that makes it all stand out. Welcoming, attentive and very friendly service throughout with special mention to Paola and another female staff (smiley and engaging redhead, very sorry for forgetting your name) who both fabulously looked after our table. Will certainly visit again!
