Whiski Bar & Restaurant is an independent Scottish bar and dining room midway along Edinburgh’s Royal Mile. Its warm, lively atmosphere is deliberately relaxed rather than formal, making it equally suitable for breakfast, a complete dinner or a dram after sightseeing. Food is served throughout the day, and free traditional Scottish music brings a different energy to the room each evening.
The kitchen prepares its dishes on the premises and builds the menu around Scottish produce. Cullen skink combines smoked haddock, potato, onion and cream, while the haggis tower pairs haggis with neeps, mashed potato and whisky sauce. Scotch steak pie and beef and haggis sausages offer further examples of the comforting, recognisably local cooking at the centre of the menu.
Scottish fish has a prominent place through battered east coast haddock and pan roasted salmon. Vegetarian haggis, macaroni cheese, salads and a vegetable burger provide alternatives to the meat and fish dishes. Desserts continue the regional theme with cranachan made from whisky, toasted oatmeal, cream, honey and raspberries alongside sticky toffee pudding and Scottish cheeses.
More than 300 Scotch malt whiskies give the bar its defining drinks collection, and the team can help visitors navigate the different regions and styles. Scottish craft beer, cocktails and wine provide other routes through the list. Whiski succeeds by placing accessible Scottish cooking, an unusually broad whisky selection and nightly folk music together in one atmospheric Royal Mile venue.
