Room with a View Description
The family run Forth View Hotel is tucked away on Hawkcraig point, below the cliffs looking out to Edinburgh and the Islands of the Forth. Built in 1880 and known as 'Bleakhouse' by Mathew Galloway who ran the steamers to Fife from Granton and Leith, it became the Forth View in 1891 and was famous for its salt sea spa baths.
More than a century later, you still can listen to the sound of waves lapping on the shore, watch the seals playing and when the sun sets, visit the Room with a View. Expect to find succulent scallops, halibut and fresh langoustines on the menu. This is the sort of place where you could have cream of broccoli and smoked haddock soup; monkfish medallions in pancake butter; goujons of sole with a lemon and dill mayonnaise, and finish in style with the chocolate pot or homemade bread and butter pudding with vanilla ice cream.
They cater for small and large group bookings including birthdays, christenings and weddings.

What an excellent place! We stayed in Dunfermline and were looking to find a good fish restaurant and on finding this place on the internet, I made a booking for the night. Starters of scallops and prawns were excellent and we were eclipsed by the sea bass and sticky toffee pudding. We had a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc, which was very good and I just can't praise it enough, I wish we stayed longer for another one. I recommend this place.

This restaurant, in a beautiful setting beside the water with distant views of Edinburgh Castle and Arthur’s Seat, offers food of an extremely high standard, and the fish is divine. The combination of flavours really is original and brilliant. The staff are relaxed yet attentive. I’ve been there twice and will go again.
