Biblos Edinburgh is a bar, restaurant and lounge at 1 Chambers Street in the Old Town. Floor to ceiling windows overlook Edinburgh's Old College, while a separate function and live event space makes the venue as useful for celebrations as for an everyday meal.
The kitchen serves international gastropub food with a Scottish accent. Beer battered haggis balls with neeps, tatties and whisky sauce sit beside fish and chips, fresh Scottish salmon, burgers and chicken, combining local references with broadly familiar choices.
Fajita wraps, salads and pasta add variety for lunch or dinner, with vegetarian versions available across several sections. A children's menu and classic desserts make it practical for families, while food prepared from scratch and seasonal produce keep the selection grounded in the restaurant kitchen.
Cocktails, wine, beer and hot drinks support the bar from noon until late. Biblos can work as a meal near the National Museum, a place to meet before an Old Town evening or a longer night that continues into live music after the food service ends.
Address: 1 Chambers Street, Old Town, Edinburgh EH1 1HR, Scotland
