The Witchery
About
The Witchery, situated on Scotland’s historic Royal Mile just steps from the gates of Edinburgh Castle, is a landmark of gothic opulence and culinary excellence. The historic complex houses an award‑winning restaurant, two stunning dining rooms – the candlelit Original Dining Room and the ethereal Secret Garden – and nine uniquely themed suites, each echoing the grandeur of a bygone era. Guests can indulge in a menu of Scottish fine‑dining classics, a wine list celebrated with over 600 selections, and seasonal dishes crafted from Scottish produce. With its richly decorated interiors, a prohibition on children under ten, and a limit of six guests per party, The Witchery offers an intimate sanctuary for romance, history enthusiasts and food connoisseurs alike.
