Dean Banks’ brand new restaurant has landed in Edinburgh at the historic Pompadour restaurant at Waldorf Astoria, The Caledonian Hotel, Princes Street. The fine dining experience embraces the same ethos as Haar Restaurant, St Andrews, showcasing the best of land and sea with a menu that reflects the seasons and Scotland’s natural resources. The restaurant offers an intimate and beautiful private dining room with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens, providing an elegant and historic environment for special occasions, weddings, and corporate events. The A-Listed interior décor and hand-painted walls reflect the sumptuousness of the royal court. The venue hosts a tasting menu only, expertly designed by Chef Dean Banks, showcasing the very best of Scottish cuisine and local produce. The head sommelier offers a carefully curated wine list and wine pairing to create the ultimate fine dining experience. The private dining room can comfortably accommodate up to 20 people and is available for exclusive venue hire. The venue also offers bespoke packages for weddings, civil partnerships, large celebrations, and corporate dining experiences. The team can tailor every booking to create the ultimate dining experience, and the minimum spend for the private dining room is dependent on the day of the week and month of the year.
