The Shore
our comments
Situated on the Leith waterfront, The Shore is the ideal destination for those wishing to spend an evening in Edinburgh’s historic port. Boats line the harbourside where the sun sets slowly on hot summer nights, making The Shore a quiet and idyllic location: perfect for a relaxing evening and an intimate meal. The ambience is warm and charming, enhanced by the traditional and candlelit décor of informal 18th century wood panelling, huge mirrors and real fires. The cuisine fuses classic British dishes with a modern European twist; we love the pecan-crusted fillet of ostrich, served with blue cheese dauphinoise potatoes and green beans. After dinner, head to the bar, where live entertainment is provided most evenings by local jazz and folk musicians.- September 2008

I have dined at the Shore on two occasions now, on the first occasion I could not beleive the quality of the food, it was excellent. Surely this quality could not be repeated on my second visit?...no it couldn't, it was even better. Being someone who likes to be safe in what I choose to eat I decided to have the Pork Belly on both occasions, it was incredible and highly recomended. It is served on a bed of mash surrounded by an amazing sauce.
I dined with a different colleague on both occasions, both hold the same opinion as myself.
The atmosphere is perfect and the staff were efficient, polite and very freindly.
I can't wait to go back when maybe I will try something else from the menu, but know I will be strongly tempted to go for the pork again.
