Seasons Vietnamese Takeaway Restaurant

Seasons Vietnamese is one of Edinburgh's few dedicated Vietnamese restaurants, operating from Newhaven Road as more of a takeaway with a handful of tables than a conventional restaurant. The kitchen produces dishes rooted in Vietnamese home cooking: fresh spring rolls, crispy pancakes, steamed coconut pandan layer cakes, pho noodle soup, house special curries and fried rice. Vietnamese drip coffee — slow-filtered through a phin filter — rounds out the offer, a detail that signals a genuine commitment to the cuisine rather than a surface-level nod. Newhaven Road runs along the Forth shore between Leith and the old fishing village of Newhaven, and Seasons Vietnamese draws customers from across north Edinburgh who are looking for an alternative to the city's predominantly South Asian and Chinese takeaway offer. It is open seven days a week from five in the afternoon. Reviewers on TripAdvisor and Quandoo have given it broadly positive marks, averaging around 3.9 out of 5 from 53 reviews.
