Party & group booking

For some people, the opening of Fishers in the City in 2001 came not a moment too soon. Since then, they've been able to easily schedule corporate and business entertaining here, as well as arranging celebrations with friends and family right in town. This Fishers retains the same superb fish menu and high standards as Fishers Mark I in Leith, but is twice as large and with a private room, the Thistle Room, seating up to 40. The decor here is smart modern with grain-coloured walls, bare wooden floors and marble tables.

About Fishers in the City

Fishers Bistro way out in Leith has been such a success that Edinburgh was practically begging for a branch closer to town, here is a smart, stylish, modern bistro in New Town with all the virtues of the original Fishers: superb ingredients, memorable cooking, fleet and caring service, and great atmosphere. Fish is still the raison d'etre, although you'll find a very few non-piscatorial dishes on the constantly-changing menu. Try starter of oysters, the poached Lindisfarne ones if they're in season when you're on site, main course of stuffed whole sea bass with chorizo, mozzarella and olives, and dessert of chocolate truffle cake with wild berry coulis. Great staff, smartish decor, relaxed ambience.

Fishers in the City. 58 Thistle Street, Edinburgh EH2 1EN We nearly always have to take a trip to Fishers - the fishcakes never fail and the atmosphere is great.

Great meal at Fishers in the city. Food was great (Wild Halibut and Lemon Sole). Still no custard to be found in Edinburgh for sticky toffee pudding but the butterscotch sauce almost made up for it. Staff were all very efficient and friendly. We'll be back.
