Whiski Rooms is an independent Scottish restaurant and whisky bar on North Bank Street, just off the Mound near Edinburgh Castle. Views toward Princes Street and a warm Old Town setting give the venue a strong sense of place. The restaurant welcomes both bookings and walk ins, and private rooms allow smaller groups to create a more self contained occasion.
The kitchen combines traditional and contemporary Scottish cooking with seasonal local produce. Cullen skink, haggis with whisky sauce, Scotch beef steak pie, salmon and other seafood express familiar regional flavours, while the changing all day menu leaves room for lighter plates and modern combinations. Vegetarian choices and current dietary requirements can be discussed with the team.
Desserts continue the Scottish focus through dishes such as cranachan, sticky toffee pudding and a local cheese selection. A set lunch offers a concise way to explore the cooking, while the all day menu suits anything from a casual midday meal to dinner. The room’s relaxed service keeps the food approachable even when the ingredients and preparation are more detailed.
More than 300 Scotch malts and world whiskies form the heart of the bar, supported by cocktails, wine, Scottish craft beer and alcohol free drinks. Staff can suggest a dram or whisky flight to match a dish, and daily tastings introduce the regions and styles in a dedicated room. Whiski Rooms joins food, drink and guided discovery without losing the welcome of a central Edinburgh restaurant.
Address: 4–7 North Bank Street, Edinburgh EH1 2LP, United Kingdom
