About First Coast
West Edinburgh wasn't a dining hotspot, but charming, inviting, delicious First Coast is one of the establishments that have been changing that. A comfy toddle from Haymarket station, First Coast is quite an intimate, relaxed shop front restaurant done out the blues and greys of the sea, with rough hewn centre wall and super smart detailing. The frequently-changing modern Scottish menu lists meat and fowl as well as fish. Starters include very tender marinated squid, soy and sesame salad, mains include spicy grilled chicken breast with homemade sweet chilli sauce and coconut rice, and sweets include deep fried jam sandwich with vanilla ice cream- seriously. Short, thoughtful wine list, good vegetarian choices and warm service.

Review
For a city such as Edinburgh, next door to Port Seaton, a major landing port, there are not as many seafood/fish restaurants as one would expect. I hope this will change in future. At First coast the fish dishes and vegetarian options were well received, there being no carnivores in our group I cannot comment on those dishes. The staff are friendly and there is an informal ambience which is enhanced by a 'real fire'. A cosy spot in winter months.

First Coast. We had friendly and attentive service, a good menu and our food was well presented and delicious!Review
First Coast succeeded in making us feel very welcome and comfortable. The menu offered a good choice of dishes, but without being too long, and we both very much enjoyed the evening.Visitors
