A NEW BAR IN LEITH
Named after the Gaelic word for "of the sea" it's fitting that we are situated right on The Shore in Leith, Edinburgh.
Bring a few of your loved ones and unwind in scenic surroundings, either on our sun-trap of a garden or inside our contemporary bar and restaurant.
We pride ourselves on our expertly curated and ever-rotating wine list, creative cocktails and freshly prepared food during lunch, dinner or brunch.
We are dog-friendly and now offer takeaway drinks!
COCKTAILS, WINE & GOOD TIMES IN LEITH
Your drink sets the tone for the night - let's make it unforgettable.
Our wine list has been designed for both seasoned sommeliers and those who just love a great pour. From classic vinhos and malbecs to unexpected fruit-forward wines from Thailand, there's something to match every palate.
Cocktail lovers rejoice! Our rotating cocktail menu features signature creations, and we're always happy to mix up your favourites that might not be on the menu.
Prefer a cold pint? We serve local craft beers like Campervan's Leith Juice alongside classics such as Tennent's and Guinness.
BRUNCH, LUNCH & DINNER
At Mara, we know that a glass of wine is best enjoyed with delightful company and delicious food.
Our new brunch and lunch menu features indulgent, creative sandwiches inspired by classic dishes, like our Fish Finger Butty and the showstopping Ham, Egg & Chips Butty.
In the evening, Mara transforms into an elegant yet relaxed restaurant, serving up seasonal small plates like Corgette Fritti, heartier mains like Steak Frites, and crowd-pleasing sharing boards such as our Chip n Dip Board.
Bookings and walk-ins welcome; come for the food, stay for the wine.
OUR AREAS
The first thing you'll see when you reach Mara is our sunkissed garden area overlooking the Water of Leith - a perfect spot to unwind and watch the world go by.
Step inside, and you'll find stylish interiors designed for every occasion from relaxed brunches, romantic dinners or a night out with friends.
