The Tower Restaurant
Nestled between the rooftops of Edinburgh’s Old Town at the top of the National Museum of Scotland lies one of the cities greatest restaurants – The Tower Restaurant. Part of restauranteur James Thomson’s collection, which also includes The Witchery and Prestonfield House The Tower has long been a destination restaurant in the city thanks to it’s exceptional food and drink experience and panoramic views across to the Castle. TLE went along recently to see if the Tower lives up to it’s famous reputation.
Background & Concept
There is a civilised air to The Tower, from the moment you arrive though the main entrance of the museum, shown to the elevator and whisked you up to the restaurant level you know you are in for something quite special. Staff greet you from the lift as if they were waiting just for you and glide you effortlessly along to your table. Floor to ceiling window’s down the full length of the restaurant act like a theatre stage with the centerpiece being Edinburgh Castle lite up to entertain the eye as you enjoy your dinner. The space is uncluttered and contemporary, there is no fussiness with white table-cloths, simply wooden topped tables down the length of the glass windows and on the other side booth style tables for larger groups create the perfect cosy atmosphere complimented with soft down lighting to complete the calm environment.
