World Famous Mussel & Steak Bar celebrates birthday with 2005 pricing

Marshall Milne

Following our report on The Mussel and Steak Bar 's birthday celebrations, we have received further news that this Grassmarket restaurant is rolling back the years and their prices!

Since 2005, the restaurant has been a must-visit dining destination for many. Owner Marshall Milne was inspired by the quality of Scottish produce when he opened the restaurant, and works closely with a network of Scottish farmers and fishermen.

To celebrate its 20th birthday, The Mussel & Steak Bar will offer a 20% discount from Monday, 5th May - Thursday, 8th May. Marshall and his team are then rolling back the clock on their menu for the weekend, returning to the 2005 dishes and drinks menu. Highlights include:

Spring menu

Rib-eye steak £13.50

Kilo mussel pots £10.50

Fish and chips £12.50

Mixed shellfish platter £13.95

Cullen Skink £3.80

Bailey’s cheesecake £3.80

The restaurant is known for fresh seafood from across Scotland, including Isle of Uist lobster, langoustines and crabs, hand-dived Orkney scallops in the half shell, kilo pots of sustainable rope-grown mussels with a choice of sauces. The restaurant sells over two tonnes of mussels per month and 40,000 oysters per year. The meat is sourced from farmers across the lowlands, with 35-day dry-aged steaks like their 40 oz Tomahawk, alongside pork and wild venison from the Highlands.

The drinks menu includes the bar's specially selected Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc wines together with cocktails such as The Mussel & Steak Old Fashioned, G&Tea and a Coriander and Lime Gimlet or a warming dram of whisky.

An outdoor terrace is a suntrap for alfresco dining.

Patron Marshall Milne says,

“This birthday is a testament to the quality of Scottish producers and the warmth of my talented front of house and chef teams throughout the years. I’m so delighted to have customers who keep in touch from around the world and staff who have been with us for many years. I’m so grateful for the support my team and I have enjoyed from Scots and visitors alike. Here’s to 20 more years of The Mussel & Steak Bar!”
