1925 at the Pompadour

Set in Edinburgh’s West End, 1925 at the Pompadour tips its hat to a storied past while speaking in the modern language of Scottish cuisine. The mood is refined and intimate, with a sense of occasion shaped by attentive, unhurried service and a kitchen that lets seasonal ingredients take centre stage.

The menu favours clarity and craft over flourish. Seared sika deer with cauliflower, wild mushrooms and smoked buckwheat is poised and earthy, while roasted halibut with fennel, surf clam and champagne sauce brings silken lift. To finish, a milk toffee tarte with coffee and milk ice cream leans nostalgic, or choose sticky toffee pudding with brown butter ice cream for a richer embrace.

For an afternoon or evening where heritage meets the here and now, take a seat at 1925 at the Pompadour. Come for the craft, stay for the service, and leave with a spring in your step.
