I had a great dining experience at Mussel Steak Bar today. The seafood was absolutely delicious and very fresh, which really stood out. The restaurant has an elegant atmosphere and is conveniently located, making it a great spot for a nice meal. The staff were also very friendly and attentive. Overall, a wonderful place for high-quality seafood—I’d definitely come back again.

I haven’t had seafood this good and executed this well in a long time.
The scallops were my absolute favorite, tender, sweet, burst of flavor from the ocean… so good, I ordered a second plate.
Mussels and Prawns were also exceptional. Fantastic job by the kitchen. Hats off to the whole team.

Ooh yum yum came in for lunch and we’re lucky to have a table (saw many customers came in to reserve tables for dinner). Was recommended the sharing platter and it was superb. Many oysters, mussels, crayfish, a lobster and a big crab..ooh, fresh and nice. There were so many mussels in the soup that we had to wrap it for takeaway. The staff were friendly and offered good recommendations. A must visit if you are in Edinburgh

The food here is amazing. We just had lunch and were treated to complimentary oysters. It was our first time trying haggis, and it was absolutely incredible. We also enjoyed the linguine soup and sticky pudding—both delicious. This place is a must-visit, and we even tried some local gin. The service was top-notch, and the food tasted fantastic. A must-visit spot in Edinburgh.

A lovely and refined dining experience right on Victoria Street — the location is fantastic, with beautiful views and a charming atmosphere. The ribs were incredibly tender and full of flavour, paired perfectly with crisp chips and a fresh salad, while the sparkling drinks added a light celebratory touch. Elegant yet relaxed, with excellent food and a wonderful setting. I would happily return.

It’s has such an unassuming look to it when you first walk in. There’s just one big round booth in the back with only a few tables to the side and back of the bar. There is an outdoor space that sits on the West Bow bend of Grassmarket, but nothing was set up for that when we were there for a late lunch. Perhaps it’s a seasonal thing.
All first impressions aside, it turned out to be a very good lunch. We were greeted immediately upon entering. We were fortunate to get a table without a reservation. You will definitely need one here during peak times. The service was warm & friendly. Artur was very helpful in answering all of our questions. The lunch menu is limited, but you can also order from the higher priced dinner menu as well.
I was mostly amazed by the fact that you get complimentary oysters delivered to your table. My husband is not a seafood fan, so I was fortunate enough to enjoy both of them. These are large & tasty Pacific oysters grown at a farm in Loch Fyne. Delicious! It was such a great starter.
I couldn’t pass up the half kilo pot (lunch portion) of steamed mussels. These are Scottish rope-grown mussels. I should have ordered a kilo. They were so addicting. The white wine sauce with shallots was perfect. However, I did have a difficult time deciding which sauce to choose. The whisky with smoked bacon also sounded amazing. If I had to say anything negative, it would be to maybe add more bread to soak up the sauce. I probably could have asked for more, but I didn’t. That’s on me.
I really wanted to return to try the Surf & Turf. We just didn’t have enough time to do it all. I would go back in a heartbeat. It ended up being a great find. A great experience!

We had such an amazing meal out for our 10 year anniversary. The food was exceptionally good, huge portions, excellent quality, and great value for money; we had the surf and turf and a portion of mussels, with beef dripping chips, complementary oysters, bread for soppin’, and broccoli. God it must be the best dinner out we’ve had in a long time and both the steak and seafood dishes were incredible. The service was really an highlight and Artur made us feel looked after throughout, giving great suggestions, and checking in regularly. He was knowledgeable and warm and, at points, he knew us better than we knew ourselves. Thanks for a great anniversary meal out, we will most definitely be back!

Beautiful spot at the bottom of Victoria St. Delcious mussels, coffee, whiskey sour, and pumpkin soup! My favorite restaurant in Edinburgh. I recommend a reservation. They also offered a free oyster, which was delicious. Excellent service by Dana! I will be back on my next trip.

Best Advice: Reserve a table.
Fantastic welcome and service throughout. Worth every penny of the 10% Service Charge.
The food was a complete success. I have eaten here twice before but several years ago. So delighted the standards have been retained. My first visit with my wife and she approved.

I could not find the name of this place for the life of me! My husband and I trotted in August 2024 and were greeted and served by Duncan. Firstly his service was outstanding super welcoming, patient, and informational. Our food and drinks were delicious. The restaurant is located in such a cute little corner near the castle and when you sit outside you can have such a beautiful view. I hope I’m blessed with another opportunity to visit again!
