First Coast

The restaurant is settling into autumn 🍂

The evenings are getting cooler, the tables a little cosier and our menu is full of the kind of dishes made for lingering over.

Whether it’s a long lunch or dinner as the Edinburgh nights draw in, First Coast is warming up for the season ahead.

We look forward to welcoming you around the table.

Some dishes simply belong at lunchtime.

Our Steamed Mussels are served your way, with shallots, c***r, chives and double cream, or with a rich tomato and caper sauce.

Fresh, comforting and exclusively available on our lunch menu.

A little colour for the autumn table.

Our Peach Salad brings together caramelised peach, fresh rocket, cherry tomatoes and creamy burrata, finished with a delicate peach dressing.

Light, beautifully balanced and a lovely contrast to the richer flavours of the season.

Simple ingredients, beautifully brought together.

Our Linguine Prawns combines linguine with prawns, cherry tomatoes and shallot in a light, aromatic sauce. Elegant, comforting and just the kind of plate to linger over.

Find it on our à la carte menu.

A beautiful balance of land and sea.

Our Grilled Octopus is served with creamy couscous, mixed peppers, sun dried tomatoes, chive oil and capers. Thoughtfully composed, full of character and made to be savoured.

One to discover at First Coast.

A dish made for the changing season.

Our Arborio Risotto brings together garden peas and a smooth asparagus purée, finished with tender asparagus for a plate that is comforting, delicate and beautifully balanced.

Simple ingredients, thoughtfully prepared.

We’re almost recovered from another wonderfully busy Fringe.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who joined us throughout August, from familiar faces to those discovering First Coast for the first time.

Now, we’re looking forward to a gentler pace, autumn evenings and plenty more good food shared around the table.

We look forward to welcoming you soon.
