Stockbridge Eating House is a warmly informal restaurant at 7 St Stephen Street in Edinburgh. Communal tables and space held for walk-ins give the room a convivial character, while reservations elsewhere in the restaurant suit small groups planning lunch or supper.
The menu is rooted in local ingredients and changes with the seasons, favouring robust combinations over fussy presentation. Smaller plates such as monkfish cheeks, bone marrow and devilled duck hearts can begin a meal or form part of a shared spread.
More substantial dishes can include lamb chops with greens and anchovy, John Dory with asparagus and potatoes, or a beef and bone marrow burger. The cooking makes confident use of meat and fish, with accompaniments chosen to provide freshness and contrast.
A concise dessert and cheese selection, including apple tarte Tatin and British or French cheeses, is matched by a carefully chosen wine list. Because the menu changes and the kitchen works with a wide range of ingredients, guests with allergies should discuss the current dishes when booking or ordering.
