Amber Restaurant at The Scotch Whisky Experience

Great selections of whiskey

Good

Amazing dining experience in a cozy environment right in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff go above and beyond to make dining experience memorable and enjoyable.

Highest quality food and an amazing whisky shelf make me wish I could dine here weekly.

The crusted goat cheese starter dish and Shetland mussels pot were particularly flavorful and expertly prepared. The Asparagus and Pearl Barley Risotto was superb. I’d visit again even if that were the only dish on the menu. And the sirloin was cooked to perfection.

The staff’s whisky recommendations for pairing elevated the meal even higher.

If you get to Edinburgh, visit Amber. You won’t be disappointed.

After trying for lunch last year, visiting Amber again while here this year was top of our list. Food and whisky is great and the staff are all very friendly and knowledgeable. If I lived in Edinburgh, I'd be eating at Amber frequently.

We enjoyed our stay. We're had a delicious tomatosoup and Haggis Pot. And an exellent Sea Trout, Cod and Chicken breast.

We took the a la carte. The food was ok with friendly and helpful staff.

The tapas were amazing and the staff was very nice and interesting!

Excellent experience!

All in all the experience was first class. We were made very welcome when we arrived. The menu offered good choices, the staff were very knowledgeable and helpful on everything we asked about the dishes and the portion sizes. The food was delicious and we were made to feel very welcome. There was no rushing us at all and we were in the restaurant for a good few hours. Would definitely recommend this restaurant. The staff especially were lovely.

The food was amazing. Everyone enjoyed each of their 3 courses. The Lamb main and the cheesecake were so good. Staff were helpful with choosing a whiskey, given we were mostly novices. Only issue was that they were very slow at taking orders, particularly for a Monday night. We were not in any rush but would not have expected to be there for 3 and half hours. At least the food came out in reasonable time after orders were taken.
