Seven new Edinburgh restaurants to try during The Fringe

If you're already planning where to eat and drink between shows this August, read on for a list of eight new restaurants that have launched in Edinburgh since last summer. Moss 112 Saint Stephen Street Ex-Noma chef Henry Dobson opened the doors to his farm-to-table Edinburgh restaurant in early 2025. Almost all of the ingredients used in the kitchen have been sourced from his family farm in Angus, and all of the drinks come from across the British Isles. It's Scottish produce, but not like you might have encountered before with dishes including gooseberry mackerel ceviche, beetroot panna cotta with a walnut cookie taco or a super-light chiffon cake. You can read our full review from this weekend here: It's strictly Scottish produce only on this menu - and the results are interesting. Sotto 28-32 Deanhaugh Street​ Sotto takes its name from the Italian for 'under', referencing the cellar hidden under Stockbridge High Street that stores its extensive collection of over 200 wines. The restaurant's menu combines seasonal British produce with classical Italian cookery, and dishes change regularly to celebrate the best ingredients of both countries and the diversity of Italy's culinary regions. Look out for their set menu offering, which includes the likes of Papa al Pomodoro e Stracciatella (Tuscan Bread soaked with Tomato, Stracchiatella and Garlic Oil) and Cotoletta Di Pollo (Breaded Chicken Breast, Lemon Crushed New Potatoes, Aioli) followed by Panna Cotta or Affogato to finish. Patatino 5‑21 Grosvenor Street, Haymarket One of the city's latest openings, Patatino, can be found at the Hoxton hotel in Haymarket. Inspired by the trattorias of Sorrento, Patatino's menu offers hearty Italian dishes using local Scottish produce. This includes antipasti, house-made pastas, sourdough pizzas, beef and seafood cooked over hot coals in the Josper grill. Barry Fish 62 Shore, Leith A stylish seafood restaurant that has been receiving glowing reviews since opening in Leith at the start of this year. The first solo venture from acclaimed pop-up chef Barry Bryson, this place is all about comforting yet refined food that celebrates local produce. They've just switched up their menu for the new season, which means you can now look forward to dishes like barbecued monkfish brochettes, pickled beetroot and dill dressing or shrimp and sea trout sausage rolls. Read our full review from earlier this month here: 'Martin Wishart was right about this new Leith seafood restaurant' The Captain Darling 16 - 18 Hamilton Place This new brasserie-style bar and restaurant has opened just in time for festival season. Former Fhior chef, Scott Smith, has teamed up with Òir Group to oversee the kitchen at The Captain Darling and help with the launch phase of the new venue. The focus of the menu is now on 'classic, well-made, seasonal dishes' created to be full of flavour. Their Sunday Roasts, including rare breed pork porchetta; dry aged sirloin roast beef and confited chicken leg finished on the barbecue, look set to be just as exciting as any play or comedy show being performed in the city next month. Nàdair 15 Roseneath Street Situated on Roseneath Street, Nàdair (which means 'nature' in Scottish Gaelic) is an independent neighbourhood restaurant, offering a daily-changing set menu, focusing on the best of Scottish produce. Partners Sarah Baldry and Alan Keery, who run the kitchen together, build their food and drinks menus upon local and foraged ingredients, to create experimental and bold flavours.

Café Calton Calton Hill Opened just last month, this newcomer might just take the crown for the best views in the city. Café Calton is a casual day-to-night spot perched at the top of Calton Hill, where diners are invited to stop in for brunch, enjoy an evening cocktail or simply reward themselves with a takeaway sweet treat after a climb to the venue. There's also an outdoor terrace, which is sure to fill up quickly when the sun shines over the city this August.
