Party & group booking

Fishers in the City in Edinburgh is a fabulous spot for corporate and business entertaining, as well as celebrations with friends and family right in town. Fishers retains the same superb fish menu and high standards as Fishers Mark I in Leith, but is twice as large and with a private room, the Thistle Room, seating up to 40. The decor here is smart modern with grain-coloured walls, bare wooden floors and marble tables.

About Fishers in the City

Fishers in the City in Edinburgh’s New Town is the sister restaurant to the spectacularly popular and successful Fishers Bistro in Leith. In fact, the original Fishers Bistro was such a success that the town fathers nearly sent a delegation out to beg a branch closer to town. And here it is: Fishers in the City is a seafood restaurant of great style and quality, a smart, modern bistro with all the virtues of the original. Fish is the reason you’re here, as are superb ingredients, memorable cooking, fleet and caring service and a great atmosphere. The menu changes constantly. Try starter of oysters, the poached Lindisfarne ones if they're in season when you're on site, main course of stuffed whole sea bass with chorizo, mozzarella and olives, and dessert of chocolate truffle cake with wild berry coulis. Great staff, smart decor, relaxed ambience.
