This place has chopped and changed hands over the years but really hope Bittersweet is here long-term. There's a good range of cocktails from a £5 range to more premium drinks (it's owners are involved with Old Poison distillery) which are well made. We had a few sharing plates, which were all pretty tasty. Wines were good and are roasted regularly. Interior is tasteful and the staff hard working and very attentive. Worth checking out for a cocktail (or two) and some small plates
Bittersweet was everything we hoped for. Amazing service with such knowledgeable friendly staff and good honest Italian food. The cocktails were delicious and we had a wonderful evening there
Wow, amazing food, wonderful cocktails and superb staff. A really reasonable price too and would highly recommend. My new found local treasure 😍
Incredible experience dining here. Everything we ordered was absolutely delicious and each item has clearly been well thought about. The owners were friendly, knowledgeable and very passionate about flavour. Wish we were local as we’d definitely be regulars. Can’t recommend enough. Ridiculous quality for the price too.
Bittersweet is an excellent cocktail bar with a cozy ambiance that sets the perfect mood for a night out. The extensive cocktail menu is sure to impress, with a special focus on the Negronis which are simply outstanding. The bartenders here are skilled and friendly, making it a pleasure to watch them craft the perfect cocktail. The music is a highlight, with Italian rap being a regular feature that adds a unique touch to the atmosphere.
The most beautiful place ! We stumbled across bittersweet after a few nights of average meals on our holiday, purely because it was located on the same street as our accommodation. Definitely worth it! The service was amazing and the food and drinks were equally as good. Very rare to find quality in service, food and drinks in one place.
Lovely little stop off we passed by chance on our way to a restaurant.
Good range of drink options with reasonable cost. Didn't get to try the food but looked good as it passed by us!
Also dog friendly.
We had a fantastic dining experience here. The food was great, staff were very friendly and knowledgable, cocktails were delicious and well made. A must try if you’re in the area.
Food was incredible, some of the best dishes I’ve ever had. Cocktails to start we’re great with some wine for dinner. Staff were great at suggestion and we didn’t feel rushed at all. Ordered seconds after a 30 gap for more wine which was great. Unreal, need to try this place if you’re in Leith or Edinburgh!
Fantastic cocktails and the food we had was delicious, burrata and the cod. What a great place, super friendly staff too!
