Welcome to

The Parliament Arms

Scottish Pub and Kitchen,
Canongate, Edinburgh

Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, on the Royal Mile, just moments from the grandeur of Holyrood Palace, The Parliament Arms is a warm and welcoming Scottish Pub & Kitchen celebrating welcoming, traditional Scottish hospitality.

Here, classic pub charm meets hearty, home‑cooked dining, with a menu inspired by Scotland’s natural larder. Whether you’re an Old Town local, a local tourist from the Dear Green Place, or you’re visiting from further afield, you’ll always be welcome in The Parliament Arms.

Step inside our timber interiors and find cosy booth seating, and a classic bar stocked with single malts, local ales, and Scottish spirits - the perfect backdrop for relaxed dining, friendly gatherings, and a taste of Scotland in the capital.

From Cullen Skink and haggis favourites to our signature home‑made pies, or refined Scottish seafood and game, every dish is crafted with locally-sourced produce and our passion for delicious food.
