The Mussel & Steak Bar is dedicated to serving high quality, fresh and locally sourced seafood & steaks, with warm service and welcoming surroundings. Our restaurant is located at the bottom of Victoria Street in the heart of Edinburgh's Old Town, just a few steps from the historic Royal Mile. While enjoying the best mussels, oysters and steaks that Scotland has to offer, you can catch a glimpse of Edinburgh Castle from our window.
Our menu features classic seafood and steak favourites with seasonal Scottish specialties: fresh oysters, kilo pots of steamed mussels, shellfish platters and delicious matured Scotch beef steaks.

Absolutely amazing meal. Took my Son for the 1st and he loved his meal. Haggis wellington and surf and turf for him. Scallops and steak for me was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and talked you through the menu. Will definitely be back soon.

Great food and friendly service. Was delighted that they offered complimentary oysters which tasted really fresh. We have the seafood linguine, ribs and mussels as well as sea bass special. Mussels were awesome. Highly recommend this dining place. Remember to book online!

Great tasting food and the service was attentive we had oysters as a taster which was a great experience. Salmon was fabulous and the filet steak was out of this world. Loved it. The staff were great with the right level of attentiveness and brought all we asked with a smile and some light chat. The restaurant is a little cool if you sit in the corridor on the lower floor.

Very busy on a Tuesday night. We had the Christmas menu at £50. Quite expensive but the choices available were good value for all three courses. A free oyster each was a nice touch to start. Service pretty good for a busy night.
