Under new management since last spring, the King's Wark has long been one of the most atmospheric of Leith institutions.

Given the tempting seasonal Scottish ingredients, and prices edging into the upper range, some dishes don’t quite live up to expectations.

Renowned for our innovative use of Scotland's larder, we use only the best seasonal produce from sea, land and air.

From our ever-changing à la carte restaurant menu, bar meals and daily specials boards; to seasonal tasting menus and adventurous celebration feasts, such as a roast pig's head banquet, we offer something for every occasion.

And, on the weekend, we serve a variety of hearty breakfasts and sumptuous Sunday Lunches.

The long cold, nights are drawing in as winter begins to take grip, here are five of the cosiest restaurants in Edinburgh to take refuge in.

To combat the cold, we’ve picked out 5 of the cosiest restaurants in Edinburgh to take shelter in this winter.

Home to one of our favourite chefs in the city, l’escargot brings a little Gallic flair to Broughton Street with a menu that’s designed to showcase the very best in Scottish ingredients from Barra snails to Orkney beef.

Talk about pedigree, the Scran and Scallie is the brainchild of two of the city’s most experienced chefs, Tom Kitchin and Dominic Jack, and is the perfect place to unwind on a cold winter’s day with delightful ‘scran’ – Scottish pub grub.

With a view that looks out onto the Shore waterline, it’s one of the cosiest places on this list – perfect for whiling away the afternoon or evening – with a small fire to heat you up and a menu that’s filled to the brim with winter warmers.

Fry ups in Edinburgh are in plentiful supply, but the capital's best cooked breakfasts make them with plenty of love as well as oil, as Ray Philp finds A truism: hangovers are unpleasant.

No longer the preserve of the greasy spoon, fry ups are a staple of most breakfast menus in town.

Royal Mile Backpackers, 105 High Street, EH1 1QS, 0131 225 7064 The Royal McGregor, on the city’s Royal Mile, has a breakfast menu that could satisfy the finnickiest, selfie stick-jousting tourist.

Their breakfast menu has something for everyone – croissants, fruit salad with almonds, and porridge – and their fry up option has a contemporary, but controversial twist: the traditional tattie scone makes way for chips.

The upgraded breakfast includes: sausage, bacon, egg, black pudding, haggis, tattie scone, tomato, mushrooms, beans and fried tatties – as comprehensive a fry up as you could imagine.

At lunchtime, the dark-wood bar does a roaring trade in simple fare such as gourmet burgers, fish cakes, and haggis (traditional or vegetarian), but in the evening, the kitchen ups the ante with a chalkboard menu of locally caught seafood specialties, from hake to monkfish.

Come on Sunday and choose from the legendary brunch and roast dinner menus.

The King's Wark | Restaurants in Leith, Edinburgh

Old-school waterfront haunt that proves popular on weekends.Seasonal Scottish ingredients are the selling point, and fish dishes feature heavily Although The Shore area of Edinburgh has succumbed to some epic gentrification in recent years, attracting in-style bars, cool cafés and Michelin-starred restaurants galore, The King’s Wark has not lost its allure among loyal locals and clued-up tourists.

Set in a 15th- century building overlooking the Water of Leith (the river that runs through the city), The King’s Wark has carved out a solid reputation for solid cooking using ingredients sourced from Scotland’s local larder.

Bread comes from a patisserie in Leith; fish largely from the excellent Welch fishmonger along the road in Newhaven.

The menu includes the odd staple (fish and chips, steak burger), but the Wark does a great job of keeping things seasonal, and the chef regularly changes the à la carte menu.

On a weekend, it’s packed out with a merry mix of patrons, including families, couples, students and young professionals indulging in the Wark’s bevy of brunch choices (such as the gargantuan Bigger Breakfast fry-up, or the spinach crêpe with brie).
