Hogmanay set menu priced at £90 per person to be served over two sittings

A Michelin-acclaimed Edinburgh restaurant has unveiled its festive ‘Fish-mas’ menus for Christmas and Hogmanay at its waterfront venue on the Shore in Leith. Chef Barry Bryson has established Barry Fish as one of the city’s popular dining venues for local diners and visitors by showcasing fish and seafood from Scotland. This season, Barry and his team will be serving a festive feast from the sea, including a range of Scottish fish and speciality seafood dishes.

Barry Fish has earned its place in the Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland; The Good Food Guide’s UK-wide list of ‘100 Best Local Restaurants’; and Time Out’s ‘Top 2%’ of the 200 best restaurants in the UK. The menu has been designed for Christmas shoppers, office parties and festive group bookings of up to 8 people.

Barry Fish will be open on selected days throughout December, and for lunch and dinner on Christmas Eve (Thursday 24 December, last booking 8pm). The restaurant will be closed from 25 to 28 December, and open again for dinner only on 29 and 30 December.

A special Hogmanay set menu priced at £90 per person will be served on Thursday 31 December over two sittings at 6pm and 9pm. The set menu will feature a crémant cocktail; monkfish liver parfait; poached lobster gnocchi; Marseille bouillabaisse with East Neuk clams, fennel and pastis; cod with port, figs and Jerusalem artichoke; as well as Barry’s chocolate orange bombe. The restaurant will be open for a dinner service only on New Year’s Day (Friday 1st January 2027) and Saturday 2 January 2027.

Chef Barry Bryson said: “We’re already gearing up for our big finale of 2026 with a festive feast from the sea menu throughout December and for Hogmanay with our Barry Fish ‘Fish-mas’ menus. Our focus will be on great hospitality, familiar dishes our customers know and love, as well as a celebratory atmosphere without a formal festive menu.”

Barry added: “Our ethos is simple. The best ingredients we can get, cooked with skill and passion in a welcoming warm environment. There is no formality at Barry Fish other than the love and respect that we have for what we do. Our huge thanks go to all our customers for their continued support during 2026 and we look forward to welcoming everyone to Barry Fish for a very merry ‘Fish-mas’.”

Barry Fish will be closed from 3 to 19 January 2027, reopening for usual service on Wednesday 20 January 2027.

Barry Fish is located at 62 Shore, Leith, Edinburgh, and is five minutes from The Shore and Port of Leith tram stops, which offer a transport link between Leith, Edinburgh city centre and Edinburgh Airport.
