The Steak and Mussel Bar

Sitting at the foot of Victoria Street, within the bustling streets of the Old Town's Grassmarket, lies the welcoming Steak and Mussel bar.

The restaurant provides more or less what it says on the sign outside, wuth top quality Buccleuch steak for the carnivores and a strong selection of mussel dishes – although there's a wider variety of shellfish for the more daring.
The menu is fantastic and the various sauces available in the ‘Mussel Pots’ encourage repeated visits to try them all.

It’s probably best to reserve a seat as you're unlikely to find a table at short notice, especially during busy periods. It's a great place to start the evening, however, with a number of the city's liveliest bars nearby.
