Oh my goodness, we just LOVED this local pub, with amazing food and busy atmosphere! It's almost as if you're sitting on a barge, and it's a fun vibe, with different seating options and QR Code ordering. Super cool, and the service was fast and cheerful. Food is GREAT! Again, lot's of GF options -- I was able to get the calamari, which was tender and delicious, and it was served with chips that were GF, with salt and pepper seasoning. My husband had a mug of the Cullen Skink with chips -- also very good, hot and filling. The menu has many, many options, and the portions are very good sized. Lots of beer on draft, and a good selection of ciders. Leith is a beautiful place to explore, and this was a lovely lunch and respite from the intermittent rain. Highly recommend making a stop at Teuchters Landing! read more

This place is in an amazing location right on the Waters of Leith. And when I say "right on" I mean, their outdoor dining area includes a dock on top of the water. It's a bit cold out there but we wanted to sit outside. The other outdoor dining area with heat lamps was more pub-like which also meant people smoking outdoors. To the dock we went! The husband got the fish and chips, and of the five fish and chips he ordered during our 2 and a half weeks in the U.K. this one was neither the best nor the worst. (But still good!) The daughter and I were only lukewarm on our scallops. But what made a lasting impression was the mac n cheese served in a mug. The son and I still talk about it. We think it was the BEST MAC N CHEESE WE'VE EVER HAD. All others are put to shame now. 5 stars - mac n cheese 3 stars - other food read more

Great food and ambiance! Would come back again. Pleased with the service and staff. We had the Fish Board and the Scottish cheese wedge board and our kiddo had the Mac 'n Cheese mug! So much delicious food! read more

Really cute place on the water by the bridges. We had a great time and wanted to stop off for some drinks and nachos to share before heading back on the bus then train back to where we were staying after our day trip out there. The nachos were okay. I got orange wine out of curiosity but it wasn't anything exceptional worth ordering. Bf's sister ordered something fizzy with elderberry in a wine glass that was pretty yummy and bf got a beer or cider that wasn't bad. Very cute place with the water view. Dog friendly. Highly recommended. read more

Excellent watering hole on the water! They have a lot of outdoor seating, but it can get busy on a summer evening, so we opted for an available table inside. Drinks are ordered at the bar and food is ordered through QR codes at each table. Despite how busy they were, service was excellent. The bartender was so friendly in giving my husband and I her recommendations on a local gin and whiskey and we both liked what she chose for us! read more

Super chill local pub right on the water with nice views. It was cold and rainy the day I was here so it was a nice stop for a great lunch. Met some nice local guys who took the time to explain the cricket game on the TV. Now for the food... OMG... the freshest fish. Fish & Chips was fabulous and a Huge plate. Calamari was just caught and fried.... Absolutely to die for. Accompanied by a Thistly Cross which is a dry cider aged in a whiskey barrel. Very different, very good and not sweet. My type of cider! read more

A very Scottish pub. The stew is amazing and the service is good. Very cozy dive bar feel with amazing food.

This was my first stop in Scotland! I was looking for the Scottish pub experience and to try some local food. This restaurant really hit the mark. I absolutely can't stop raving about the stew! It was amazing! My bf had the venison burger and chips, which was also very tasty. The cocktails were also very good. Honestly great all around. Great service, great ambiance, great food. read more

Located right along the water in Leith, Teuchters Landing is a sloppy pub with grimy indoor and outdoor seating, offering a menu of bar bites and Scottish dishes. Ordering and payment are done via QR code, and everything was brought out quickly to our table. The Fish Board came with a collection of local preserved fish including cold and hot smoked salmon, an Orkney herring fillet, and my favorite, a smoked mackerel pate, which had a nice meaty texture and salty flavor. The board also came with a creamy caper & chive tattie (potato) salad, cornichons, cherry tomatoes, bread, and oatcakes. We also got the Big Tasty Summer Salad, made of greens in a lemon and Dijon dressing, along with cherry tomatoes, shredded mozzarella, herb croutons, and two soft-boiled eggs. Overall, the food here was surprisingly tasty and nicely presented for such a casual bar and restaurant, though the cleanliness could have been improved. read more

This place was recommended to us by our food tour guide in Edinburgh and it did not disappoint. One of our favorite meals of the whole trip. Mussels and hamburger were delicious. Drinks were great. Price was decent. Bar was adorable and very Scottish. Service was great and easy to order and pay from the phone. read more

A mate had recommended this place and as we were back in Scotland thought we'd check it out. Very, very, glad we did. It's just off the main road and parking wasn't a problem. The pub is by the water, with a nice dark indoor area, a restaurant-style room in the back, and a covered smoking area out front. Excellent selection of brews, and the Scotch board is amazing. If you're planing a distillery tour this is a good place to sort out beforehand what you like and plan the route accordingly. But it bills itself as a gastropub and my goodness it lives up to it. Had an amazing meal, the cullen skink was superb and herring on bacon and potato chowder made my stomach and tongue want to cuddle me all night. As for the name, it's a slang term for highlanders used by lowlander Scots; kind of like redneck in the US. Mum asked how to pronounce it and the landlord charmingly said "Give it your best shot and we'll all have a laugh." A top place, we will return on the next visit. read more

Great place to come for a meal without a reservation. The seafood was great and the burgers were tasty. Very easy to order with the qr code on the tables. Easy fun experience! read more

Amazing. Get the local beers. The atmosphere alone is absolutely great. Skink was probably one of the most amazing soups I had ever had and the delightfulness of being surrounded by water was so unique. I have had fish soups all over the world and I can't say I've ever had anything quite like that. The smokiness of the fish and somehow the flavors are so unique to this area that I was surprised by how different each variety of this soup wise and how far end it was to my taste profile. We accidentally got the Tomato soup served to us and boy was that the best mistake of our lives. This tomato soup was so delicious and unusual that it was hard to say again what flavor profiles were from the region that gave such a unique flavor to something called "tomato soup" my wife and I are both tomato soup fanatics and we even make it, and have a constantly, even in Italy but the unique variety of this restaurant and it's ability to put out exceptional food is really rare. Go for it. Arran whiskey was absolutely divine delightful read more

Teuchters Landing - Skink!!!!!!!! Whoa gooooooood - Gastropubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

One of my favourite places to hang out in Edinburgh. Beautiful location right on the water of Leith. Cool vibe. Great staff. Food is awesome. I really can't say anything other than make sure you add a visit to your itinerary when in Edinburgh. read more

Delicious food and fast service. The Cullen Skink was fantastic, but the pan fried scallops and fish and chips were also excellent. Great ambiance! read more

Well I think you come for the atmosphere and drinks which is very welcoming and sits near the water. Order with your QR code, pay and they bring your food and drinks. They give generous portions of mussels and fried calamari. All dishes came with lots of chips which was filling. That said, we found the food average in taste so if you are expecting gourmet, it is not here. read more

What a great little pub! Became my go to place while in the area and so happy to have stumbled across this fine establishment. Gorgeous location and man, what a busy little spot! The bar staff was tremendously friendly and helpful. Great selection of beers and the most incredible whisky selection I'd ever seen! I had such a hard time choosing from the menu...everything sounded so good and the orders that went by me looked amazing. Ordered a steak pie with gravy and it was hot and tasty. Beef was melt in my mouth tender and the pastry was perfectly flaky. The Mr. ordered a burger and fries which he also quite enjoyed. You must go to this place then in the area, and I can't wait to return! read more

Grabbed Sunday lunch at Teuchters on the way out of Edinburgh on vacation recently, and I'm so glad that I did! What a really cool spot right along the water. It definitely has that "No frills" pub-feel to it, as you walk in the front door to the bar. But move on to the back of the restaurant and find cozy dining rooms and a waterside patio. They have GLUTEN FREE fish and chips!! This was seriously the only place we had f&c during our two week long trip to Scotland and it they were awesome. Looking around it seems like their mug meals were very popular, but we were very hungry so opted for the ground beef chili nachos in addition to the fish and chips. Very generous portions and everything tasted wonderful. Nice people working here too - be advised, you have to order everything at the bar. Wish we could have come back and drank here... oh well, there's always next time! read more

During a short stay, we made our way here 3 times. We ate one time and had. cocktails and watched sports the other two times. Great service, good food and drink read more

Fantastic spot to grab a bite and feel like a local! Located in Leith, its definitely out of the way from city centre and all the tourist traps. And that's what makes it worth a trek! For us, I'll admit that trek was 2 blocks, but I can only imagine I'd traverse longer distances as well to visit here. When we entered the pub at around 7 or 8 pm, there wasn't a single table available! Patience is a virtue though, and our patience of 2 minutes resulted in a table opening. There are food menus at the tables that you can look at before ordering at the bar, as well as a list of their whiskies. I got a small curry and did a tasting flight of whisky. The curry came in a cup and the small was a good size for dinner. The whisky flight was perfectly curated and a great selection for the price. If you don't want to order a flight or you have no idea what whisky you want to drink, you can always ask the bartenders for help or throw the ring (which I didn't try and thus have very little context on). The ambiance was super casual and it seemed like most people in the place were locals grabbing a bite to eat after work or catching up with friends. If you want a low-key, local experience in Edinburgh, I could not recommend this place enough. read more

We decided to go for a pre-drink before dinner at The Kitchin (which is about 2 minutes walk away) and so came here. I actually don't think I'd have known about this place but for it's Yelp reviews - and it is a really lovely spot for a drink. It was a Friday evening and inside was really busy with no spare tables. As it was a nice evening, we got our drinks and sat outside in the beer garden area which is right on the water and just lovely. We didn't stay for long thanks to the wasps which were loitering around (most of the year wasps aren't a problem in Scotland in case you're wondering!) but I really enjoyed the glass of wine so I'm sure I'll be back again soon. Tips: Great selection for beer fans and good selections of wines by the glass. They sometimes screen sport (rugby, golf, Olympics, tennis, football) There's a separate bistro called A Room in Leith which is part of Teuchters Landing. read more

Teuchters Landing - Amazing view - Gastropubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Such an amazing little pub tucked away at the end of the street. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, either sitting near the fireplace in the front or in the back room on a sofa. I'm not a big fish and chips gal but I knew I had to get them, and boy was I glad I did. Super fresh and flaky fish, really delicious chips. Huge portions too. The bartenders were awesome and helped us Americans get acquainted with Scottish whisky (no E!). We actually came here two nights in a row because we loved it so much. It's the kind of tucked away pub on the water that you just can't get in the US. read more

Based on all my frequent visits in the summer I can say I am very pleased this pub has 'landed ' in Leith (see what I did there.. ) With his bare red brick walls inside, mismatched chairs, stools and tables and floating terrace outside it somehow reminds me of a pub on the water I used to go to in Amsterdam, Holland. - It has a continental feel to it. Teuchters Landing has managed to win me over mostly based on their location. I am not too keen on the furniture inside, but then again I never much spend inside. A nice touch over the summer was the free use of suncream on the bar. As the place is a sun trap! OK the bar itself. They have whisky - loads of it. - Too many to name, but to help out they have a whiskey menu list. Which is very informative and invites you to try not just one, two, but many, many more than you originally intended.. or was that just me? Beside the wonderful selection of whisky, they have a full bar with Scottish brewers on tap / bottle and your usual suspects from known breweries. The wine list is short (compared tot the whisky list) but has some nice ones on it. The staff has always been cheerful, efficient and very helpful on my visits and I can compliment them for doing a nice job. I did not have the food, but the summer menu looked appetising and seasonal. Their biggest attraction for me is the outside 'floating terrace' overlooking the Leith Shore area. You can be assured of a tan after spending an afternoon in that spot - which sometimes has table service. I recommend this bar for summer. Why don't I like this in winter? Because I like to be on a terrace and I don't like the inside so much that is why. read more

A lovely place next do the docks in Leith directly at the waterfront. Wonderful to sit outside on the (already mentioned) pontoon on a sunny day or inside at a window offering its glance over Leith and its wee "harbour". Delicious food, well prepared to perfection. Good choice of drinks. Everything served from well-trained employees. Worth a visit either for lunch/dinner or only a pint of Ale. What else to say? Go and check it out! read more

Fabulous local gem. Staff is incredibly friendly. Located near the docks of Leith, at the edge of Edinburgh, this hidden gem is wonderful. The helpful bartenders gave me suggestions for a terrific scotch whiskey flight. I had the tasty lamb stew for dinner. Stayed around for after dinner stout. Lovely experience! read more

The bar is rather small and outrageously cosy. Fire going, dimmed lighting, leather furnishings and an oak finish. Like it. For me it's 30min on the bus but still worth the travel. Not the least for their whisky selection. A good few malts they've got there on a blackboard. We had to climb to our tiptoes and squint to read it though, it's hung just below the ceiling. It's far from everywhere major but that means you get a table. No crowds. They serve nice, hearty food. Homemade steak casserole is highly recommended. Apart from whisky they also have some good beers and lagers (we had a cheeky pint of the original Czech Budweiser to finish the whisky evening off) and, apparently, wide range of wines. If you want more details on their whisky selection you will find it here: http://www.edinburghwhiskyblog.com read more

Teuchters Landing - Gastropubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

A lovely place to go to feel like a local. The atmosphere was inviting and cozy, yet professional. As someone with a severe allergy, I especially appreciated the special menus that were given out once you made the bar tender aware of which you needed. The only negative (hence the reduction of 1 star) was the full price charge for just the patty and chips that I ordered. Again, due to my allergy, I ordered just the patty of a hamburger as well as the chips - yet still my plate cost £11.25. I thought that this could have been reduced a bit due to the fact I did not eat any of the toppings, bun, or seasonings that typically come on a dish. Other than that, I would certainly return and I definitely understand why it is a Leith local favorite. read more

What a place! Using Yelp as my trusty guide, my boyfriend and I took a stroll to Leith on a rainy Friday afternoon and took solace in Teuchters Landing for a warm by the fire and a pint in the hand. Normally once you've seen pictures of a place on Yelp, you feel like you know what to expect when entering a new place. Not here. Tiny snug rooms fit together, with real fires in many of them to keep you feeling extra cosy. It's also quite tardis-like, and from the outside looks abit like a village hall, but when entering, there's actually lots of room for people to have large groups...but you'll have to get there early, as it fills up pretty quickly! A great selection of beers and whiskeys, and a lovely welcome from the staff as you enter. All round a top pub, the only reason why it doesn't get the full 5 stars is my personal preference of cider. Lots of choice on the fruity choice, but I do love a scrumpy on tap, and the only thing available was a stowford. Don't let his put you off though, thoroughly recommend this place to anyone wanting somewhere cosy to pass any an afternoon. read more

I experienced my first visit in the restaurant as part of a Christmas lunch and expected the usual fare at this time of year. The food was pleasantly excellent and the whole meal was top notch. Duck Terrine, Braised Beef and then a cracking xmas pud topped it off. A really nice meal and would expect it be be the same if not better when it's the usual menu and not a large xmas party. Really small, local, Scottish feel about the place and no pretentious decor. Just a really nice vibe and great location. read more

Reasons why Teuchtars Landing is so fabulous: - Food in mugs; macaroni cheese, chunky chips, stew, curry, sticky toffee pudding, the list goes on. - Hot port! - Hot toddies! - Array of comfy seats and the open fire. - House white wine is decent and only £14 a bottle. - Tasty Prosecco cocktails. Most of the reasons mentioned are why I visit here so much in the Winter months. However, they also have outside decking which looks out onto the river and is an amazing sun trap in the summer. read more

So good, we went back the next night. We are staying in Leith and read the review of Teuchters Landing, and so decided to give it a try. Food - We ordered the Salmon and Haddock Pate plate, the Venison Burger, Lemon Grilled fish, and kid's Mac n' Cheese and kid's Grilled Chicken. All of them were excellent. Well cooked, well seasoned, and well presented. It isn't fancy or gourmet... just really solid food and flavors. The same with the desserts. We ordered the Lemon Pot (a lemon custard served with pound cake) and ice creams. All of them were excellent. Service - Great. We were there are busy nights, but our server was attentive and the food came out relatively quickly. read more

So I have been again, and on some sides they have won me over, on others they haven't. WHERE THEY HAVE WON; - Mugs of curry, stew, mac 'n' cheese, etc. All great ideas and an innovative way to serve. - The Man v Food Belly buster Burger; massive patty, haggis, bacon, cheddar, pulled pork. An excellent piece of cooking served on a lovely soft large roll, as opposed to a bap, which again compliments it well. Definitely one for BURGER WATCH consideration. - Sheep Dip Hoopla. You pay £3.70 and are handed the hoop. If you can get round one of the whiskies behind the bar you win a dram of said whisky; if more than one, you get your choice of the ones you hoop; if you miss on all three goes, you get the Sheep Dip, which isn't a consolation! Good bit of fun. especially if you get one of the more expensive ones. WHERE THEY HAVE NOT; - Prices seem a bit marked up. George Street this place is not, so stop charging as if you are. - Communication. I don't frequent the bar often, and saw on more than one occasion, someone being served at the end opening of the bar. I then stood and waited 5 mins, watching several folk come and go after me. Was only when I ASKED if this was a no service point that I was duly advised to go round the bar.... after several staff clearly seeing me stood there waiting. And I didn't bother getting into the argument of why others got the special treatment. All in all, still middle of the road for me. Seating is a bit all over the place and I never really feel like I can get comfy, but the place has character which makes me wish the above problems weren't problems. Still.... read more

An outstanding bar in Leith. Great food, great beer, great atmosphere. I can with some Italian friends for brunch on Sunday- highly recommended. Good menu, vegetarians are well taken care of, and while it was busy, service was fast and friendly, and it wasn't too noisy. Definitely worth a return trip :) read more

Teuchters Landing - Browsing all the great options - Gastropubs Near Me - Edinburgh, EDH

Teuchters is my new favourite Sunday afternoon hangout. My man and I walk along the water of Leith down to the shore, and head to Teuchters for a beer or a hot toddy (oh man they are so amazing here), along with a mug of grub. On sunny days they have a great outdoor seating area where you can soak up the rays, and on the other 350 days a year they have a cozy fire inside to warm your bones. Also in the bone-warming category is the gorgeous and impressive wall of spirits and the wide selection of whisky. Their food, as another reviewer has said, is served in mugs. I thoroughly enjoyed my haggis stovies and my guy LOVED his cullen skink. I'm not usually one for oat cakes but we received a few to go with our food and man were they tasty. I wasn't actually completely thrilled with our chips because I felt they needed a bit more seasoning, but oh well. I just really like the feeling of this place, and every time I go here I take a look at the beautiful restaurant attached and think about how I seriously need to go there for a meal some day. In the mean time though, I'm quite happy with my mug. read more

A wee gem of a bar tucked in beside the Water of Leith! The bar has lots of little nooks and crannies, and whether on a bright spring day where you can sit by the water, or a cold winter evening cosied up to the fire, it really is the perfect place to stop for a pint! They have a great selection of beers, wines and spirits and also have a wonderful 'mug' menu for food! Definitely easier to serve mugs than plates...and they do small and large size mugs too! (macaroni, cullen skink, chips etc.) Stepping through to the back of the pub you enter into the 'Room at the Shore' Restaurant. The food here is delicious, good value and they have a pontoon on the water you can have lunch on (gorgeous as long as it doesn't rain!) If you're out walking the Water of Leith, or just having a dander around the Shore, make sure you pay it a visit! read more

Amidst the stress of moving house, my sister and I nipped in here to form a plan while accompanied by some tasty grub and the finest gin, Edinburgh Gin. The staff were a bit lapse tonight, we cleared the tables for them but they were very busy. It was a fair exchange for the freshest oysters we could find so late on a Friday night and a mean banoffee pie! read more

I wanted to see if they were renting rooms above this pub, because I had no desire to leave once I discovered it. Great staff, amazing whiskey selection, friendly vibe, multiple seating areas to allow you the setting that best fits your mood. And to top it off - the best battered fish and chips I have ever tasted. Seriously. I refused to eat that dish again anywhere in Edinburgh for the rest of my trip because I knew I'd just be annoyed. Prices were reasonable. The crowd was welcoming. And there were board games. Bonus! I was guided here by a local who overheard me on the bus talking about the place I was planning to eat. He stopped me and my companion and led us right here instead. I owe that man a drink! (Be sure to toss the ring. Sheep Deep whisky is actually quite good as a consolation prize.) read more
