Skua is a small, intimate restaurant and bar on the lower level of St Stephen Street in Stockbridge. Its compact open kitchen and limited number of tables create a close connection between guests and the team, with dinner served from Tuesday to Saturday and the bar continuing later into the evening.

The concise food menu changes daily according to what is available from local farms, fishermen and foragers. Bread with cultured butter, olives and a carefully dressed oyster illustrate the attention given to snacks, while recurring dishes such as beef tartare show how the kitchen builds strong flavour from relatively few elements.

Seasonality and preservation shape the cooking, allowing pickled and fermented produce to carry Scottish ingredients beyond their brief natural windows. Rather than maintaining a long fixed list, the kitchen gives each dish time and space, balancing rich, bright, savoury and acidic notes across a sequence intended for sharing.

Cocktails follow the same philosophy through house made liqueurs, syrups and fermentations designed around Scotland’s natural larder. Wine, beer and classic drinks remain available, but the original cocktail programme makes the bar a meaningful part of the experience rather than an afterthought to the produce led dinner.

Address: 49 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh EH3 5AH, Scotland
