The food and service were absolutely amazing. The allergy accommodations were handled so thoughtfully, and I was truly impressed. Our first meal in Edinburgh turned out to be something truly special. I would love to come back again!

I can't speak highly enough about our experience at Mara. The food and drinks were all delicious, and service was top-notch. Felt like we were dining with friends, rather than visitors to Leith. Highly recommend checking out Mara!

Lovely experience . We had a cheese platter, scotch egg and wine. Excellent server who explained the origin of all the cheeses. We were first in the lounge which was a little cold but soon warmed up once the heater was on. Well worth a visit
