Tigerlily Edinburgh is a restaurant, bar and boutique hotel on George Street in the New Town. Bold interiors and an energetic social atmosphere make the dining spaces as visually distinctive as the food. Service runs from lunch into the evening, with brunches, afternoon tea and late events adding different reasons to visit.
The menu combines Scottish produce with Pan Asian flavours. Seafood, grilled meat, salads, curry and rice dishes use chilli, coconut, soy, ginger and other aromatic ingredients alongside familiar local cooking. Sharing plates allow a table to begin informally, while steaks, fish and larger mains create a more traditional seated meal.
Current choices range from baked king prawns and salt and pepper squid to sea bass, Scottish haddock and plant based black lentil dahl. Set menus provide a concise lunch or early dinner, and the kitchen publishes allergen information for individual dishes. Guests should still discuss dietary needs directly because traces can occur in the preparation area.
Cocktails are a major part of Tigerlily’s identity, supported by global wines, beer and alcohol free serves. The bar grows livelier later in the week, while private dining and event spaces can shape a more self contained celebration. Tigerlily joins an expressive room, broad modern cooking and polished drinks into a complete George Street occasion.
Address: 125 George Street, Edinburgh EH2 4JN, United Kingdom
