Wspaniała restauracja w Edynburgu oferująca jakże dobre i świeże owoce morza. Obsługa szybka, miła i pomocna. Potrafiła nam odradzić. Zupa chowder smakowała świetnie, bo tego zamówiliśmy przegrzebki i lokalne trunki. Bardzo smaczne i ładnie podane ! Polecamy !

2nd time visiting here and it didn't fail to impress.
Some of the best seafood in Edinburgh.

Came here for my 20th birthday and had a wonderful experience!

The seafood is fresh and the specials of the day were wonderful. I ordered the special of the day “Applewood Smoked Cheese Mussels” and they were amazing. I had my birthday this day and mentioned it for the booking and the staff brought me a really nice dessert with a candle for free!

I definitely recommend this place if you want to try good seafood, especially mussels.

Best meal in Edinburgh!!! All the seafood are fresh and well prepared. Everything is tasty. We likr the hot seafood platter and mussel (natural juice flavor). Highly recommended if you are in town.

My last visit was 10 years ago and the food standard still keeping up but I wouldn’t recommend anyone order the oyster because it’s quite small in size and the price could order another half pot of mussels

The food is quite OK. However some remarks:
- the restaurant lools like a cafeteria, extreme bright lights and cafeteria tables & chair
- presentation of Oysters was just sad.. small oysters, broken shells, no liquid in there and worst served on an stainless steel plate, not nicely on crushed ice.
- mussels were OK, seafood pasta OK.but little seafood in it
- Housewine (sauvignon) just terrible. Very cheap wine sold at premium price
- service needs to improve. Sufficient staff but clearly didnt want to work. Only reactive..
- price for drinks doesnt add up... over priced

Overall feels like a tourist trap.. go to Leith area for some real seafood in a nice ambience

This is THE best seafood restaurant that is in Edinburgh, without a doubt! Having tried the rest in Edinburgh, and MANY of the freshest around Scotland and the world! The Mussel Inn is truly amazing, they tell you where the mussels and the Oyster's are from that day. No your not going to go and get a steak, that's because it's strictly seafood, but you will get it served in many different ways. Also the wine list is beautiful, and for all tastes.
I would say it's a place you must definitely visit, if you like never mind love seafood!
OH BUT PLEASE BOOK AHEAD OF TIME! It gets very busy!
Super clean, super tasty, not super expensive for an excellent city centre restaurant, have been approx 7 times and can't wait to go back ????

I had dinner in this restaurant after my sister recommended to me because she has been here before and she enjoyed the food.
In my opinion the food is average, not bad but also not unforgettable.
We had mussels pot, oysters, soup of the day and a seafood platter.
- The mussels pot was good but unfortunately I found a hair in it…
- the oysters tasted fresh but were very slims;
- the seafood platter was good, but for 33pounds I was expecting much more…
Not full we decided to take also two desserts which were delicious and pretty big portion.
I didn’t like the fact that they charged us 8+ pounds for the service when on the menu and on the receipt itself is specified that it’s discretionary.
I didn’t want to complain at the moment in front of other people but this is not fair.
We won’t come back again

1st time and definitely want to experience those flavours of well prepared and cooked seafood again. Great staff with lots of enthusiasm and knowledge of food.

Poor service

Mussels are OFF.
Seafood is NOT FRESH.
Service was also appalling, I think sadly now they are getting too popular and are losing their touch with customers.
In particular to the large Philippino manager - Catherine Pena

Really enjoyed our meal here! Wasn’t sure what to expect as it seemed quite touristy but the food was delicious and the service was was great. Had the vegetable soup to start, seafood pasta for mains, and the sticky date pudding for dessert!

Accueil parfait, samedi pour le déjeuner ., on avons attendu au magnifique bar qui a un service remarquable et très efficace.
Le restaurant est est bien décoré , lumineux , la carte présente une belle selection des produits de la région , nous y avons très bien déjeuné , les plat sont bien présentés et c'est excellent.
Le problème reste le service dépassé , du monde pas bien organisé . Le temps d'attente est inexplicable , gentil , sorry about that , c'est l'esprit de l'Ecosse .
Pour le poulet grillé et un filet de poisson,,,55 minutes.
Au moment de l'addition , belle réaction de la responsable puisque l'entrée , l'apéro et les cafés ont été offert .
J'y retourne sans problème car nous avons aimés.
Edinburgh is expensive, then enjoy a drink, mussels and (small) entrance for less from £10. Especially as the welcome is friendly including almost everywhere in Scotland.
