Edinburgh's original and best rooftop restaurant has become a must for celebrities, visitors to the city and its fearsomely loyal locals who love the chic and luxurious interior, exceptional food and deft service that are the Tower's trademarks. Spectacular views of Edinburgh's castle and city skyline feature on the menu of James Thomson's unmissable rooftop Tower restaurant above the landmark Museum of Scotland. Created by James Thomson, owner of the historic Witchery by the Castle nearby, the Tower is sleek and contemporary, but sports the typical Thomson touches of romance and a great sense of occasion. From the tweed banquettes, suede chairs and indulgent velvet hangings to the mosaic bar and sexy aluminium chairs the Tower reeks of an elegance and glamour are in contemporary restaurants. A wide-ranging and flexible menu covers all of the bases, from Scottish shellfish and crustacea to game and exceptional steaks. Alongside the famed oysters and steaks dishes might include Scottish lobster, asparagus and curry oil or roast suckling pig with marjoram potatoes.
