Mussel and Steak Bar, Edinburgh

AMAZING! Went at tea time on Monday night and couldnt have left fuller or happier :) Waiting staff are very very attentive and friendly. I had smoked salmon salad for starters and mussels in white wine and garlic for main and it was superb. It is a wee bit more expensive than other places but I would say its definately worth it. Food served very fast as well.

had the lunchtime menu. loads of bread on tap,very attentive waiters. £9 bottle of wine was very nice. steak was melt in the mouth and mussels were fab. have your chips in beef dripping. cheeseboard excellent,lovely quince jam. well worth a visit. polish waiter was very friendly and professional we will def return

Mouth is watering at the thought, this was the best meal I have had in a very long time, staff were pleasant enough. Muscles were huge, so tasty and very well cooked, the basket of bread was replaced a few times. Will be back soon :)

It is all about the mussels here- and with good reason as they are fresh and cooked to perfection.
Large pots and the usual fries sides, a variety of different sauces. Busy lively restaurant with the usual high quality staff of Edinburgh standards.

Great if you are on a seafood diet!
When you eat here you should be eating scottish produce which should be especailly good I would think if you were a visitor to Scotland, as they claim to have steak from scottish farms and scottish shellfish
If you fancy going they are open seven days a week so you can go nay day of the week! which is handy

Wonderful steak, wonderful mussels, great value!

A great place for meat and fish lovers like me - I highly recommend.

Two words: amazing mussels. I have had many a moule frites in my life, but this place probably ranks in the top three for me. The mussels are plump and juicy and the broth is perfectly made -- full of flavour but not overwhelming the taste of the mussels. I was sopping it up with bread the whole way through. I tried the steak as well, but it wasn’t anything particularly outstanding for me.

Fair warning though, if you’re tempted by both the steak and the seafood option, don’t go for the surf and turf! The quality of the seafood in the surf and turf is not as good as individual orders of seafood for some reason, so I’d highly suggest just sharing two mains with your dinner partner and getting the best of both worlds.

The Mussel and Steak Bar is THE place to go if you love your seafood. The food is excellent and the service is equally good.
I wasnt keen on squid before I visited here, but after ordering the seafood platter Ive changed my opinion, cooked to perfection, not a hint of rubber about it and very good value for money too. The wine list is also excellent, your in for a real treat if you visit, I will definitely be back, no doubt about it!
Yummy!!!

Fantastic seafood, with a wide menu selection. Staff are friendly, eager to please and not afraid to make an honest recommendation or suggestion. The restaurant is generally busy, mostly down to it’s great reputation and location. The prices are reasonable given the quality and quantity. Also great at dealing with larger groups of dinners so a good place to book a special family meal

This is a gem in an otherwise touristy Grassmarket. This place has fantastic food, Oysters, Fish, Steak, and plenty of other options. But the specialty has to be the mussels. Choose a mussel pot and have it in any of five ways to suit your palate and mood, just take your pick. Depending on how hungry you are choose a full three course, or share a divine starter and dessert. All this with great service, good price and fresh atmosphere.
