Tom Kitchin's Stockbridge gastropub — Bib Gourmand, all-day, Scottish "scran" done with Michelin-grade ingredient standards: Islay oysters, Highland wagyu burgers, North Sea fish and chips, slow-cooked beef and ale pie. The best pub lunch in Edinburgh.
Why It Belongs on the List
Scran & Scallie is the most beloved pub in Edinburgh — opened by Tom Kitchin and Dominic Jack to serve genuine Scottish comfort food with the same ingredient obsession as The Kitchin, but in a warm gastropub atmosphere of reclaimed wood, tartan, and open fires. Michelin Bib Gourmand. The menu: Islay oysters, Highland wagyu beef burgers, North Sea haddock fish and chips cooked in beef dripping, slow-cooked beef and ale pie with suet pastry, and a rhubarb Bakewell tart that should be considered a national monument. On Raeburn Place in Stockbridge — within walking distance of Dean Village and the Royal Botanic Garden. All-day from noon. Reserve or arrive early at weekends.
