About Iglu Bar & Bistro

Since opening the kitchen in late 2005, Iglu has been at the forefront of ethical sourcing in the Edinburgh restaurant scene. By specialising in organic, wild & local produce we are committed to finding the best ingredients possible. Working with small local boutique farms & producers we have been able to ensure a high quality of Scottish & British meat, fish & seasonal vegetables.

The first floor bistro is perfect for intimate dining. A slightly more formal setting for the Iglu menu & available for private hire for up to 30 people. The view into the kitchen from the bistro gives you a sneak peek into the workings & world of the Iglu chefs

The bar is a relaxing & friendly haven from the hustle & bustle of everyday life. It's easy to unwind with friends with a large selection of draught & bottled beers (Special mention to the excellent Black Isle Organic Blonde Lager, our most popular draught beer), an extensive wine list including a range of organic reds & whites, premium spirits, organic & fair-trade juices, artisan coffee & organic teas. We like our music eclectic & we're always open to suggestions & recommendations. 

Why not take advantage of the free wireless broadband connection & surf away the afternoon.

The ethos of the food

Locality has always been important for us here at Iglu. If we can find a product close to home that fits our requirements then why wouldn't we support our neighbours & friends! Cutting down on food miles & transportation is now a major issue & it's great to see so many chefs & restaurants joining the cause.

Seasonality is another key element that we have been working with over the past 3 years. With many famous chefs extolling the virtues of using seasonal produce, the importance has risen of a more traditional range of fruit & vegetables throughout the year.

With our commitment to ethically reared & organic meat, our fish policy includes the use of organically or ethically farmed fish, such as sea trout & salmon, which has a lesser impact on the environment & wild stocks. The wild caught fish are from local waters which at present have healthy stock numbers.

At Iglu, we are dedicated to organic, wild & local produce. We hope to see you soon.
