The Witchery By The Castle
EatScotlands' independent assessor said:
"The cuisine is consistently good and prepared and served with skill, using high quality fresh ingredients. The ambience and location are unique and lend much to the eating experience."
"Professional approach with an excellent knowledge of the foods on offer and their methods of production"
The Witchery Fish Soup
"A large bowl of rich, thick soup, served with side dishes of rouille, Gruyere shavings, and croutons. An excellent full bodied soup. The rouille, Gruyere and croutons are classic accompaniments to fish soup, and complemented it very well. A delicious authentic taste of seafood, immediately evocative of the sea.
Minimum Child Age: 8
Located in a historic sixteenth-century building at the gates of Edinburgh Castle, we aim to create memorable and magical dining experiences for locals, visitors and celebrities alike. The Witchery is rich, warm and atmospheric, its oak-panelled walls hung with tapestries, mirrors and carvings. The painted and gilded ceilings celebrate our links with France in the Auld Alliance, whilst much of the panelling was rescued from St Giles Cathedral and a Burgundian Chateau. We source the very best of Scottish produce which features on a classic menu in a relaxed and unfussy style. Scottish lobster and rock oysters regularly feature alongside Witchery classic dishes such as hot smoked salmon with leeks and hollandaise or Angus beef fillet with smoked garlic broth.
