Bistronomy 176 is a Mediterranean restaurant and bar at 176 Rose Street in Edinburgh’s New Town. The cosy dining room brings together Turkish and Greek influences in an approachable setting, welcoming guests from lunchtime through the evening every day.
Meze offer an easy way to begin or share a meal, with hummus, baba ganoush, falafel, halloumi and filo parcels alongside calamari, king prawns and meatballs. Hot and cold sharing boards combine several of these dishes for groups that want to sample a broader range.
Charcoal cooking is the main focus of the larger plates. Chicken shish, Adana kebab and lamb chops arrive with rice, salad, flatbread and garlic sauce, while the Bistronomy 176 Special gathers several skewers, wings and chops into a platter intended for two.
Seafood, pasta, casseroles, salads and vegetarian dishes provide alternatives to the grill, and the bar serves wine, beer and cocktails. Families can choose from a children’s menu, while diners with allergies should confirm current ingredients and preparation procedures before ordering.
