Excellent lunch 2 days in a row, the first day we availed of their special offer for £7.50 I had a bowl of mussels with the blue cheese sauce, bread, chips and a soft drink - excellent value for money. The second day we ate from the main menu, I had seafood pasta and it was delicious. Really busy little... more

We ate here on 26 September 2009 and had booked it on the recommendation of trip advisor reviewers. It was definitely worth the visit. We had the most fabulous grilled mussels and scallops, seafood pasta and the seafood platter with as much crusty bread as you could like to soak up all those lovely juices but the real highlight for... more

Upon choosing what restaurants to eat at on my recent trip to Edinburgh I came across these reviews and wondered if what everyone was raving about was so good.................IT WAS. I had booked in advance and glad I did as this restaurant is very popular and gets very busy. I started my meal with the grilled mussel platter with a... more

There's often a line so worthwhile trying to book if you can. Blue cheese mussels were wonderful - we shared a 1kg serving of GBP12 between two people and with extra crusty bread to soak up the left over sauce it would have been enough for us if we hadn't already ordered a second course. Note they also have a... more

There are wooden tables outside-weather permitting-It's better to sit outside and eat and watch people passing by. They have... more

This is a simple review. Great location on rose street with outdoor seating. Nice people, fair prices, and oh yeah, did I mention, easily the best mussels I've ever had. I got the red pepper sauce, my wife the garlic and cream. Both were incredible. And by the way, you order them not by the plate, but by the kilo.... more

This is a great little place perfectly placed for a break from shopping or sightseeing. The restaurant is very informal, my boyfriend and I went for lunch and it was great but I'm not sure that I would recomend it for a romantic dinner. The food was great, we took advantage of their very cheep lunchtime deal, which I think... more

What a great find! Located on Rose street , one back from the main Princess street is this little gem. Serves great oysters and kilo buckets of mussels which can be ordrered a variety of ways. I chose the blue cheese and bacon for a change from the usual mourinere. My wife had a fantatic spaghetti fish stew , flavoursome... more
