The Mussel & Steak Bar nessled in Edinburgh’s old town Grassmarket is a fitting location for a restaurant serving locally sourced market produce.
Opened in 2005 by restaurateur Marshall Milne, this small independent restaurant has been a firm favourite for over 16 years with visitors and Scots alike. Inspired by Marshall’s love of fresh food and Scotland, our unique eatery is popular all year round, open seven days a week.
Our menu is based around seafood and steak favourites with clever twists. We serve tempting dishes for lunch and dinner, including kilo pots of irresistible mussels, and matured Scotch beef steaks. Although adapted every month with new dishes, the core of our menu remains from the surf or turf which offers something for everyone.
In our kitchen our chef’s love of delighting palettes, comes from the quality of fresh produce he uses. Every dish is planned and created from scratch and our ingredients sourced from the renowned fish merchants on the west coast of Scotland and award winning farms in the borders and central belt of Scotland. We dry aged our steaks for a minimum of 35 days, serving only the best Scotch Beef.
Our restaurant has no airs or graces, the atmosphere is casual, informal and very welcoming with our focus on serving amazing fresh food. We can catering for large celebrations and groups. In the summer months our popular pavement seating area allows you to soak up the sunshine whilst sipping your chilled wine or beer.
Our wine list is affordable and varied enough for everyone’s palate, working with small independent wine merchants to bring to your table some great wines and unusual spirits.
