You're stepping into the kind of place that gets French restaurants right — unfussy, confident, and genuinely interested in feeding you well rather than impressing you with technique. Chez Mal sits inside the Malmaison on Tower Place, that converted Victorian building that's done wonders for Leith's waterfront, and it's got the sort of warm, lived-in bistro atmosphere that makes you want to linger over a carafe of wine. The menu reads like a love letter to classic French brasserie cooking: proper béarnaise, fresh seafood, decent wine list without the markup nonsense.
