reservations essential (on the Top of Calton Hill, incredible views)

A unique dining experience. Built on a cantilever, the restaurant is partially suspended over Calton Hill’s northwest slope, meaning the floor-to-ceiling windows offer breath-taking views across Edinburgh, the Firth of Forth and beyond.

This so-called ‘destination restaurant’ sits on top of Edinburgh's Calton Hill within the restored City Observatory and dome – a trendy art and restaurant complex. Imagine a cantilevered glass box suspended over the hill’s slope. To say the views are jaw-dropping here would be an understatement. The daily changing menus match the vistas without a doubt. You must experience it to appreciate the uniqueness of this place.
