THE operators behind the Gardener’s Cottage restaurant in Edinburgh have expanded with the launch of a new venue in Leith.
Occupying a former bonded warehouse on Commercial Street, Quay Commons is described as an open-plan bakery, with a bar and eating space offering a daily market menu alongside bread and house-cured charcuterie. The new venue, which also operates as a wine shop, stocks a range of wines supplied by De Burgh and local Leith brews from Pilot Beer.
Co-founder and chef proprietor, Dale Mailley, who launched the Gardener’s Cottage with Ed Murray in 2012, commented: “We are humbled to be opening a sister restaurant to our much-loved Gardener’s Cottage and that Leith – an iconic part of Edinburgh with a rich heritage of food – will be our home.”
