Lost Shore, Scotland’s first inland surf resort, has announced the arrival of three celebrated Scottish restaurants in its eagerly anticipated waterfront bar, café, and restaurant ensemble, Canteen. Glasgow-based Five March and Rafa’s Diner are set to join the resort, along with the iconic Edinburgh pizzeria, Civerinos.

These eateries will be the first to establish themselves in the resort’s waterfront dining experience, Canteen, which is designed and managed by the renowned Edinburgh-based events and hospitality agency, Rogue Village.

The venture aims to showcase a seasonally rotating roster of Scottish eateries, casting an international spotlight on Scotland’s food and drink industry, and providing visitors with a diverse culinary experience.

Meet the Restaurants

Five March
Originating from Glasgow, Five March is known for its cool vibe and inventive small plates. This will be their third venture, following the success of their pop-up in Glasgow’s Southside and the original Park Circus location.

The menu focuses on locally sourced ingredients, with vegetarian and vegan options, celebrating Scottish meat and fish offerings.

Civerinos


A staple of Edinburgh’s culinary scene, Civerinos is opening its sixth location at Canteen.

Inspired by classic New York Slice joints, it offers a laid-back dining experience with pizzas and Italian street food, perfect for surfers and families.

Rafa’s Diner
From Glasgow’s Hidden Lane, Rafa’s Diner is beloved for its charm and flavour-packed menu. Known for its Mexican dishes, Rafa’s will offer comfort and authenticity at Lost Shore, continuing the success of its Finnieston location.

Locality is a key focus of Canteen’s offering. Canteen is collaborating with Edinburgh-based Machina Coffee and Company Bakery for hot drinks and pastries, while Leith-based brewery Pilot supplies the house beer.

Peter Maniam, Co-director at Rogue Village said: “We’re passionate about showcasing the very best of Scotland’s food scene at Lost Shore.

“We are creating a dynamic dining destination that offers something for everyone. We’re thrilled to partner with innovative and beloved eateries like Five March, Civerinos, and Rafa’s Diner, each bringing their unique flair and exceptional quality to Canteen at Lost Shore.”

Andy Roger, Chief Executive of Lost Shore Surf Resort, said: “Lost Shore will become one of Scotland’s leading leisure destinations and with our food and drink offering, our priority was to achieve the perfect balance of quality, diversity, and, most importantly, taste. 

“Canteen is bringing a vibrant mix of lively and unique kitchens to Lost Shore, offering surfers and visitors an unforgettable dining experience.

“With the anticipated influx of tourists, we are honoured to showcase the very best of Scotland’s food and drink scene to a domestic and international audience.”
