Edinburgh Bars & Restaurants

You have just found Scotland's premier riverside restaurant – The Boat House in South Queensferry. Sitting on the shores of the River Forth, tucked between the two bridges, we are exclusively yours.

I'm Paul Steward – and my wife Suzanne and I are delighted to invite you here. We look forward to meeting you in person when you come along to The Boat House and relax in front of one of the finest views in the world.

We have a great choice of dining and drinking to offer you, in a warm ambiance set across three levels – from the pebbled beach to the cobbled High Street of the Royal Burgh of Queensferry.

As you enter from the High Street level you see our new Cocktail Bar, stay to enjoy a cocktail or come downstairs to our renowned Bistro and Wine Bar, where the atmosphere is sharp and lively. Along our picture window wall, the Great Forth Railway Bridge stands tall and shimmers in the water,

If you prefer something a little more quiet and romantic, step into our award-winning beach-side Restaurant. It is the cosiest place on the east coast for succulent seafood and a personal service that's second to none.
