China Palace

China Palace is one of Leith's long-standing Chinese restaurants, occupying a site on Bernard Street — a short walk from the Shore waterfront and the Water of Leith. The restaurant serves a full sit-down and takeaway menu drawing on traditional Chinese recipes alongside more contemporary offerings, with meat and fish sourced largely from local suppliers and herbs and spices from Asian food specialists. The menu runs to well over a hundred dishes at an average price around £6, making it one of Leith's more affordable full-service Chinese options. Bernard Street is at the heart of the historic Leith commercial grid, connecting the Shore to the Kirkgate area, and China Palace has developed a loyal local following over the years on the basis of consistent quality and good service. The restaurant opens every day, takes reservations, and offers both dine-in and takeaway.
