What a lovely place to have some mind-blowing seafood! I highly recommend this amazing restaurant for anyone staying in Edinburgh. Definitely order the Monkfish Satay & Charred Octopus! But everything we ordered was perfection! Both Carina and Hubert took amazing care of us and we cannot wait to return to this lovely establishment in the future. We LOVED this restaurant!

White Horse exceeds five stars. I got emotional by the incredible plates prepared by the Michelin worthy head chef, Shawn. This was our best meal in the UK, by far. The Carlingford oysters offered a gentle briny accent without being salty, and the meat was tender and sweet. Sesame Tuna was sushi grade, meaty and seemed to melt in my mouth. The Salmon Tartare was so freaking good I wanted to tip my head back and gulp it down. The Seaweed Slaw was crisp, crunchy and perfectly dressed. But it was the Butter Milk Cod that made me want to hug the chef. Loaded with Mussels and Cavier, this is the plate I'd request just before they put me in the ground. I may have embarrassed myself with Manager Hubert because I couldn't stop saying, "oh my god". It was insanely delicious in its buttery sauce, and yes, the cod was flaky, moist and tender. Along with two glasses of Sauvignon blanc, our bill came in well under 80 (103). If you visit Edinburgh, you need to dine at The White Horse. Much love to Hubert and Shawn.

You know, I recently popped into Whitehorse Oyster and Seafood Bar for a lunch sitting, and I have to say, it left quite an impression. It's one of those places that just feels like it's found its rhythm within Edinburgh's dining scene, perfectly suited for a relaxed midday meal. My Midday Culinary Delights My main mission that afternoon was to dive into their seafood, and specifically, the Hot Seafood Platter. Let me tell you, it was a real highlight, even for lunch. It came out with such a thoughtful selection of cooked seafood, each piece seemingly chosen to offer a different taste and texture – it was genuinely satisfying without feeling too heavy for the middle of the day. To wash it all down, I tried the Bramble and Vanilla Highball. This drink was a truly refreshing surprise; the blackberry and vanilla notes played off each other beautifully, making for a really well-balanced cocktail that was perfect for a lighter daytime sip. The Midday Vibe and My Takeaway The whole atmosphere at Whitehorse, even at lunchtime, is just so relaxed and comfortable, making it a perfect spot for a leisurely break. It's pretty clear they take their seafood seriously, and both the platter and the highball definitely reinforced that for me. If you're someone who appreciates good, fresh seafood and is looking for a fantastic lunch spot, I'd honestly say Whitehorse Oyster and Seafood Bar is definitely worth checking out. Have you been there yourself for lunch, or are you on the lookout for a great midday seafood fix?

Had a great meal at The White Horse in Edinburgh. The ambiance was great and the food was good. The oysters were really fresh and the fish satay had a great flavor base. The beef and oyster dish is a unique combo, although the tempura oyster didn’t hit the sweet spot. The prawn n crab toast is worth a try. The whisky menu is extensive, so definitely worth exploring if you’re into that. Andy, our waiter, was friendly and generous with his time - he gave some great food and whisky recommendations and tastings which really added to the experience. Overall, a solid spot with good food, good service, and a nice atmosphere.

Spent two wonderful evenings here with absolutely top-notch service. Attentive and intuitive, Hubert fulfilled every wish without needing much explanation. The oysters – every course was a true explosion of flavor! Thank you, Hubert! Edinburgh will remain one of our fondest memories

An excellent destination for inventive seafood cuisine and outstanding service. If it were possible to give 10 stars for service, I certainly would. Hubert was a warm, humorous, and exceptionally attentive host who elevated our dining experience beyond just the food. His presence made the evening not only enjoyable but also genuinely entertaining. The small plates we ordered were both delicious and creatively presented. Octopus, cod, scallops and monkfish skewers, as well as prawn tempura were 10/10. This place is a definitive must try away from all the turist trap places along the Royal mile.

We were in Edinburgh for a quick 24 hours, and found a little gem of a place called the White Horse Oyster & Seafood bar. It’s tapas style where we got to share several little plates & sides. It is delicious and healthy. The whisky, wine & cocktail menu offers a great selection too. Hubert the manager was amazing. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it.
