Our brunch is available every day until 4pm alongside our lunch menu. After all, brunch is a combination of breakfast and lunch so you and your group can mix and match from both menus to get the perfect afternoon pick-me-up.

We serve our brunch until 4pm daily.

The Shore has some of the greatest spots for brunch in not only Leith, but Edinburgh as a whole. Mara is a hidden gem of a brunch spot with delicious and creative dishes being available until 4pm daily. We've created our menu with the whole family in mind, with classic dishes such as Avocado Toast and Ham, Egg n Chips Sandwiches to exciting Po Boy Sandwiches and Chorizo Hashes, there's something for everyone. We recommend trying our new Mara Muffin - it's a toasted English muffin with a sausage patty filled with fried egg, crispy bacon, American cheese & chilli jam. It is seriously naughty!

We always try to accept walk-ins, however during busy periods we cannot guarantee a table. When possible, we strongly recommend making a booking (https://www.mara.bar/reservations)to save your space especially for groups of 5+.

Yes, if you fancy soaking in a few rays while you look out over the water and enjoy brunch you can. We don't take bookings for the garden terrace, but if you do book then let us know when you arrive that you'd be interested in moving outside and we'll be happy to do so if there's space. Our stylish interior is of course also available to enjoy brunch in, and can be booked.

We recommend trying our new Mara Muffin - it's a toasted English muffin with a sausage patty filled with fried egg, crispy bacon, American cheese & chilli jam. It is seriously naughty! If you're looking for something lighter, our House Salad packs a healthier punch that's full of flavour. It's a refreshing bowl filled with kale, butternut squash, red cabbage, red onion, cashews & cranberry with sesame & garlic dressing. Yum!
