Rhubarb

0.9 miles
Prestonfield House, Priestfield Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5UT

Prepare to be transported to a place of indulgence, located in the grand setting of Prestonfield House, where Rhubarb wows from start to finish. Pure decadence is reflected in the rich fabrics, evocative fragrances and delightful service. Royalty have…

Tower Restaurant

1.1 miles
National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF

Even on a clear day, it’s not quite possible to see the other two restaurants that make up restaurateur James Thomson’s local trilogy. What you can see through this one’s floor-to-ceiling windows – and most spectacularly from its fifth-floor terrace…

Forth Floor Restaurant

1.2 miles
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH2 2AD

For a city with such spellbinding scenery Edinburgh doesn’t offer many fine-dining tables with a view. The ever showy Harvey Nichols does, however, and what tables they are, peering out over St Andrew Square to the castle and the River Forth. They even…

The Witchery by the Castle

1.3 miles
Castlehill, Royal Mile, Edinburgh, EH1 2NF

1.8 miles
The Rutland Hotel, 1–3 Rutland Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2AE

78 Commercial Quay, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX

Of course, you can melt the credit card with the tasting or seasonal menus at this ultra-slick Leith restaurant, but Tom Kitchin has also brought his Michelin-starred brand of fine dining to a refreshingly wide audience of food lovers. A set lunch menu…

Channings Restaurant

2.2 miles
12–16 South Learmonth Gardens, Comely Bank, Edinburgh, EH4 1EZ

Karen Higgins is that rare thing among Edinburgh restaurants: a female chef in charge of her own kitchen. It’s her food that attempts to brighten the rather gloomy dining room of this Comely Bank hotel. Take a squint at the short menu and it’s all…
