Rogue Bros At The Boathouse - is dining seasonal, social and in our opinion with the best view in Scotland. Brothers Mikey & James Sim focus on a social dining experience with seasonal plates, quality wines, beer and cocktails. With an ever changing 3 month menu we champion fresh and quality ingredients. The restaurant has two distinct areas, our seafront - a relaxed spaced with a stunning view and the old boathouse - a beautiful traditional space. We can host tables of any size within what has been previously nicknamed "The best kept secret in South Queensferry". Well it isn't a "secret" anymore. Luv RB's

Mimi’s Bakehouse is a second-generation family business established in Edinburgh in 2010, when Michelle Phillips sold her family home to open a bakery café in Leith. We have gone on to build a local success story brand that gives people a ‘hug when they walk in the door’ as the original café has since doubled in size and the business has gained five more shops, a successful website selling cakes online and a concession at Archerfield Walled Garden. We also opened an industrial bakery in March 2020, out of which most online trade is produced for fulfilment. Mimi’s Bakehouse has become one of Edinburgh’s best-loved bakeries and an award-winning brand which is a well-known “feel good” place to visit, while remaining small enough to go the extra mile and try new things.
