About The Witchery by the Castle

The Witchery by the Castle isn't just Edinburgh's most atmospheric restaurant—it's a portal to another world where Gothic romance meets culinary excellence in the shadow of one of Scotland's most iconic landmarks. Housed in a 16th-century building at the very gates of Edinburgh Castle, this extraordinary dining destination transforms every meal into a theatrical experience that would make even the most jaded food critic pause in wonder. The opulent Gothic decor creates an almost otherworldly ambiance, with tapestries, candlelight, and antique furnishings that tell stories of centuries past. But this isn't just about dramatic staging—the Scottish cuisine here is exceptional, showcasing the finest ingredients from Scotland's larders with a sophistication that matches the stunning setting. The wine cellar, one of Scotland's most impressive, offers bottles that perfectly complement both the food and the magical atmosphere, creating dining experiences that feel like stepping into a fairy tale where every course is a new chapter in an unforgettable story.
