One of Edinburgh’s most celebrated new restaurants of 2025 has earned its place in the prestigious Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland, just 8 months after its launch. 

Barry Fish on Edinburgh’s waterfront at the Shore in Leith is now one of just 37 restaurants in the Scottish capital to be recognised by Michelin for culinary excellence.

Chef Barry Bryson opened the doors to his first independent fish restaurant in February. Since then, he has quickly established Barry Fish as one of the city’s most popular dining venues for local diners and visitors by showcasing the best fish and seafood from Scotland.

In July, Barry Fish also earned its place on The Good Food Guide’s UK-wide list of ‘100 Best Local Restaurants 2025’ and has achieved over 400 five-star reviews on Google.

Barry Fish has also just unveiled its first festive ‘Fish-mas’ menus for Christmas and Hogmanay. This season, Barry and his team will be serving a festive feast from the sea, taking inspiration from ‘The Feast of the Seven Fishes’, an Italian American celebration with dishes of fish and other seafood served over the festive season.

A New Year’s Eve special dinner menu will be served over two sittings on Wednesday 31^st December. An early sitting will be available from 6pm or those heading into the city centre for the bells. A later service will start from 9pm for guests planning to celebrate and toast the New Year with the Barry Fish team at midnight.
