The Granary

You're walking down Shore in Leith—past the converted warehouses and the cobbles that actually feel like somewhere worth being—and The Granary pulls you in with the promise of actual food cooked properly. It's got that relaxed riverside vibe without trying too hard: dark wood, real ale taps, and a menu that doesn't overthink things. The grill does the heavy lifting here—steaks come out with proper crust, the fish changes with what's actually available that day, and the sort of sides (chips, seasonal veg) that make you remember why bar food doesn't have to be complicated. Service moves at the right pace, prices won't ambush you, and there's enough happening on the bar side that you can pop in just for a drink without feeling like you're in anyone's way.
