Down the Hatch New Town is a Canadian inspired diner at 13 Antigua Street in Edinburgh. The central location brings the brand’s generous comfort food to the top of Leith Walk, with an informal atmosphere suited to casual lunches, evening meals and groups. Bold sauces and substantial portions define the experience.
Poutine is the clearest expression of the Canadian theme, combining seasoned fries, real cheese curds and rich gravy. Variations add maple bacon or haggis, while vegetarian and vegan versions keep the format open to more diners. Loaded fries range from carne asada and Buffalo chicken to meat free Mexican toppings.
Smashed beef and fried chicken burgers sit beside sandwiches such as the Montreal cheesesteak and roast beef dip. Wings can be coated in Buffalo, Korean barbecue, Kansas barbecue or other sauces, and cauliflower wings provide a plant based alternative. Salads and a children’s selection round out a menu built mainly around indulgent diner food.
Shakes, soft drinks, beer and cocktails complement the sweet, smoky and spicy flavours from the kitchen. The current menu identifies common allergens but is prepared in a shared kitchen, so guests with dietary concerns should speak with the team. Down the Hatch New Town offers an energetic Edinburgh take on Canadian diner favourites.
