This is one of the most famous restaurants in Edinburgh and with good reason. It has the perfect location beside the castle and its food is made from the very best Scottish ingredients available from Angus beef to seafood.

I never go to the witchery on my own but I am invited about once a year. I went just last month and the service was appauling! The waiters seem like someone that would be working at an american chain, the sort that come to your table and say "hello, my name is stephanie and I will be your...
more your server tonight". I had not noticed this in the past, must be cutting costs during the hard times. I was sitting close to the loo which is RIGHT in the dining area with the word "TOILETS" written on the door in plain sight of all the diners. Very classy. But apparently I was in very close to the stairs and in the way of the waiters who CONSTANTLY bumped into my chair and kept apologizing all night. Very unprofessional. When the waiter asked me how my dish was the only thing that come to mind was that the side dish, the veggies, were very nice with a nice butter and some seasoning and they were not over cooked which is typical of british veg. The waiter then asked how my fish was. I had not even thought about the fish when he first asked how my food was because it was so average and nothing special at all, my veg was more memorable. He seemed annoyed which just confirms my initial suspicion that the wait staff is very unprofessional and belong in TGI fridays more tha

It is located right next to the Castle The setting is very intimate and romantic, candle lit tables etc.. The menu is varied and every thing looks great. The wine list is huge!!! Wines from every producing country, we had the red from Lebanon..fantastic. The service is not quite up to the...
more standard you'd expect for the money. My wife's main was not hot and had to be returned, which upsets a meal. No appology was offered. All said I would reccomend The Witchery.
