We appreciate the lovely mention of our fabulous Fruits de Mer in the BBC Good Food Guide (July) recommended by Ross Sneddon as Edinburgh’s Best Dish.
Enjoy lunch or dinner at The Ship on the Shore and take the opportunity whilst you are in Leith to visit the UK’s no.1 tourist attraction, a short walk away is The Royal Yacht Britannia. The Royal Yacht Britannia was home to Her Majesty The Queen and the Royal Family for over 40 years, sailing over 1,000,000 miles around the world. Now berthed in Leith, Edinburgh, you can follow in the footsteps of Royalty to discover the heart and soul of this most special of Royal residences. A perfect pairing The Ship on the Shore, Seafood Restaurant and Champagne Bar and The Royal Yacht Britannia for a memorable visit to Leith.
Now you can see our ‘Fruits de Mer Royale’ in all it’s glory – we have created a 360 degree interactive view for you!
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been featured in The Guardian’s “10 of the best restaurants in Edinburgh”.
Jonathan Jones flatteringly writes, “Try a bowl of steamed Shetland mussels “ they’ll provide you with an enduring memory of this fine City”.

We’re delighted to have our ‘Smokehouse Platter’ included in The Times Magazine article titled “30 Things To Eat Before You Die”.
That’s quite an accolade. Not only that, but The Ship was only one of two selected dishes found at restaurants in Scotland!
“If I’m in Edinburgh, I will usually go down to the waterfront in Leith to visit The Ship on the Shore for one of it’s famous Smokehouse Platters. The dish brings together the finest Scottish seafood; Arbroath smokies, salmon, queen scallops, mackerel, haddock and mussels – one generous portion really is more than enough for two to share. It’s very simple, but utterly delicious – and even better sitting outside by the water with a glass of champagne.”
A big thank you must go to Olga Polizzi who chose our Smokehouse platter to be included in this prestigious list.
Usually known for his humorous football analysis, even managing to get his own show on the telly a while back, Tam Cowan came to The Ship on behalf of the Daily Record.
He had many kind words for our seafood and champagne selection and we’d like to thank him for his kind words of praise.

The Ship has been selected in Google’s Street View – 2010Â Best Street Awards.
The Ship on the Shore was runner-up in the ‘Best Foodie Street’ category, in competition with various other streets in the UK. Voting was carried out by a specialist Panel, comprising of VisitBritain and various professionals in the food industry.
We’d like to say congratulations to everyone else on The Shore and hope we can all make improvements and perhaps take it to the next stage and win the award in 2011.
