About Meze Meze Edinburgh
Meze Meze Edinburgh is a Mediterranean restaurant on Rose Street in Edinburgh, serving generous falafel, meat and fish plates alongside breakfast offerings. The format is a casual eatery where the menu leans across the eastern and central Mediterranean, built around shareable plates rather than tasting courses. Falafel anchors the lineup, with meat and fish plates rounding out the core of the offering. Breakfast offerings extend the day, giving the space a morning-to-evening presence on a busy city street.

“Stopped in for a quick bite after exploring the Royal Mile. Sat outside - umbrellas provided welcome shade. Service was efficient - friendly enough for a tourist spot. Food was excellent though. Enjoyed very tasty babaganoush (flavourful, light texture, nicely garnished with pomegranate) and surprisingly good chicken tajin. Rich, hearty, and a generous servings. Glad we stopped!”
