Where Canada meets Scotland
Canadian comfort food with a Scottish twist — legendary poutine, stacked burgers and proper breakfasts, served with a side of sass in Edinburgh and South Queensferry.
About us
South Queensferry
Nestled in Port Edgar Marina, our original Down the Hatch is all about big breakfasts, proper comfort food and laid-back Canadian vibes. From hangover-curing skillets to stacked burgers and loaded poutine, we've got you covered.
Breakfasts from 8.30am, every day
Edinburgh
Bringing a little Canadian hospitality to the heart of the capital! Our Antigua Street location serves up all your Down the Hatch favourites, with ice-cold Canadian beers, Caesar cocktails, live sports and a lively atmosphere. Whether you're popping in for a bite or settling in for the night, there's always a good time to be had.
Canadian beers, Caesars & live sports till late
Good food. Good people. No messing about.
Why Down the Hatch?
Whether you're curing a hangover, fuelling up for an adventure or just here for the beer and banter, we serve unapologetically delicious comfort food with a whole lot of heart.
Authentically Canadian
Poutine, burgers and breakfasts that'll have you shouting “O Canada!”
