La Querencia

A family-run Argentine restaurant off Leith Walk serving hand-cut empanadas, chimichurri-topped grills and charcoal-cooked Black Angus cuts alongside home-style dishes. The compact dining room has a modest, easily missed frontage but a warm, unhurried feel suited to long dinners with friends. The kitchen's approach traces back to a family restaurant first opened in Buenos Aires in 1987, brought to Edinburgh with the same recipes and grill technique.
