The Little Chartroom

Inspector comments
"A bright, comfortable setting for effortlessly seasonal cooking."
Overview
The Little Chartroom has quickly become a Leith stalwart. This airy space, with navigational charts on the wall, has a stripped back Scandi feel, with plain tables, pale wooden chairs, simple banquettes, and an open kitchen wearing its foodie credentials boldly, with open shelves of cookbooks and equipment. Very seasonal menus change regularly, with three- and five-course options at dinner. This is light, bright, modern Scottish cooking, with no heavy or overwhelming flavours or textures.
