Devil's Advocate
About
Nestled in an old Victorian pump house in Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, the Devil’s Advocate offers an atmospheric blend of rustic charm and modern comfort. The intimate mezzanine dining area, complemented by a wide café terrace, gives guests a relaxed yet sophisticated setting. A carefully curated menu of seasonal Scottish dishes pairs beautifully with one of the city’s most impressive 300‑bottle whisky selections and award‑winning cocktails. The restaurant serves lunch from midday until 9:30 pm and dinner from midday until 10 pm. Morning and evening guests alike can enjoy brunch, dinner, or a late‑night cocktail. For special occasions such as Christmas and Hogmanay, bespoke festive menus and curated tasting flights are available, giving diners a memorable celebration in true Scottish style. Opening 12 pm to 12 am Monday‑Thursday, 12 pm to 1 am Friday and Saturday, and 12 pm to 12 am Sunday, the Devil’s Advocate invites families, wine and whisky lovers, couples, and even dog owners (on the terrace) to experience a unique Brae‑edge dining adventure in the heart of Edinburgh.
