The Witchery by the Castle

scotland's most famous restaurant

Hidden in a collection of historic buildings at the gates to Edinburgh Castle, James Thomson's Witchery is the most spectacularly atmospheric dining destination in the city.

The stunning decor and legendary food have ensured the Witchery by the Castle has become a much loved Edinburgh institution. Dine in the rich baroque surroundings of the original oak-pannelled Witchery or among the elegant candle-lit charms of the Secret Garden. There are also 9 theatrical suites - perfect for those looking to stay in the most indulgent settings. Lavishly decorated, our suites scream romance with a capital R! Whether you stay or dine The Witchery is an unforgettably magical experience.
