We were given a voucher for a 2 course meal with wine which was very good value. The food (fish chowder, goat's cheese salad, fish & chips) couldn't be faulted. The service was prompt and very friendly. A bigger choice is the only improvement we could suggest.

Quiet relaxing restaurant with excellent service and good choice of food. The special offer was also very welcome, 20% off the main menu.
The staff could not have been more welcoming and attentive. Many thanks.

Based in a landmark courtyard just off the Royal Mile, Chessel’s is a sleek dining spot decorated in restful shades of caramel and blonde. Intimate candlelight makes it ideal for a relaxed and cosy meal but you can also pop in earlier in the day for breakfast, brunch or lunch.
Chessel’s serves up a range of casual grill cuisine that showcases both Scottish produce and international flavours.
Typical lunch specials feature the lamb & venison burger, haggis & chorizo stovies and angel-cut haddock with skinny fries. Small plates include haggis croquettes, smoked haddock chowder and smoked salmon carpaccio.
8oz Tweed Valley flat iron steaks are served up with garlic butter and sides, while burger fans can take their pick from various gourmet choices. If you want to go fully epic, opt for The Scots Wha Hae Burger, stacked with Tweed Valley beef, Ayrshire bacon, Tain Cheddar, Stornaway black pudding, haggis, egg, plum tomato and salad. Veggie and vegan burgers are also available.
All skewers come with flatbread, salad and beetroot & raisin coleslaw, with gluten-free wraps available. Choices include Moroccan spiced lamb balls, chicken & chorizo, salmon & king prawn, halloumi & sweet potato, and a vegan turmeric sweet potato with peppers, courgettes & red onion.
This restaurant is in a prime central Edinburgh location on Canongate, very near to attractions like Can You Escape?, the Scottish Storytelling Centre and the Museum of Childhood. Waverley station is less than a 10-minute walk away and has pay parking available for those driving.
