Tower Restaurant

100487 original

The Tower surely has the best view of any restaurant in Edinburgh. Situated on the rooftop of the National Museum, it looks out over Edinburgh’s spectacular castle and city skyline, making it a favourite destination for celebrities and foodies alike.

Argyll oysters, Angus beef and hand-dived scallops are just a few of the top-quality Scottish ingredients featured on the consistently solid menu. The extensive wine list has rightfully won several awards, including the prestigious Wine Spectator Award of Excellence.

It’s not cheap here, but the £12.95 two-course light lunch and pre-theatre menu offer you the chance to at least experience the spectacular location and attentive service. For the full experience, though, you’ll need to save your pennies.
