About The Fox and Faun

A classic Scottish neighbourhood pub in the heart of Edinburgh, with booth seating that's roomy enough to park a pram beside and a small patio for when the weather plays along. There's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access, and the staff are attentive without hovering — they check back often and greet you properly at the door. The food is the real draw: fish and chips in a thin, crisp batter with chunky chips, the pie of the week (the lamb one gets rave mentions), Cullen Skink, and butter-soft roasted veg. Portions are generous, and the bar bites deal — three plates for £17, haggis bon bons included — is a good way to feed a table that can't agree. It gets busy and lively in the evenings, with quiz nights and live music, so book ahead and aim earlier for a calmer meal.
