Food tip Edinburgh: Leith seafood and pub dining away from the shorefront hotspots

For a meal in Edinburgh that feels local instead of staged, head to Leith seafood and pub dining away from the shorefront hotspots. The area is strongest when it feels like a port district, not a polished stage set. Simple fish dishes, dark wood pubs and locals out on weeknights. Book lightly and stay flexible for whichever room feels busy.
