The Mussel & Steak Bar (Old Town)

• One of my favourite places in Edinburgh to come for lunch as the lunch is served until 5pm from Fri Sun
• During summer they have an outside seating which is great as Grass Market is well guarded from the wind
• Their seafood is my favourite
• It happened to me twice that it was medium or medium well instead of medium rare which I then decided to return and they had no problem giving me a new steak
• The brie tart with cranberries is a delicacy while the soup of the day is always home made and fresh
• It's small enough to make it intimate but not so small that you feel like you're sharing your table with your next door diners
• The staff were very friendly and are happy to offer suggestions if you're struggling to decide between dishes
• A relaxed dining experience with great service in the heart of the city
• Though a bit fiddly because some of the seafood was still in its shells
• I had the 16oz rump steak and it was cooked to perfection
• One of the best meals I have had in Great Britain
• Juicy mussels in a delicious sauce which was mopped up with crusty bread
• This definitely is one of my more preferred steak place
• It's doesn't really have anything to do whether or not it is one of the best steak I've ever had
• It has more to do with it having one of the most CONSISTENTLY reliably good steak
• First time experience and was not disappoint
• Service and the staff was great and very friendly
• I had the cooked seafood platter and the broth was just too good
• This was rated as the best seafood restaurant in Edinburgh
• We ordered famous mussels pot with garlic butter sauce and much hyped scottish oyesters
• My husband had fillet steak which was quite expensive expect Central London prices
• The house white wine is a bit ropey
• This was our first dine in meal in Edinburgh because the location was very close to our hotel
• We went for linguini with sea food and other choice also with sea food and it was amazing
• The desert was also dreammy
