Welcome to The Café Royal - Edinburgh's Finest!

Edinburgh drinking and eating at it's finest!Originally dating back to 1826, The Café Royal stood just across the road from the present building and was known for its dining room special - oysters. In 1863 The Royal moved to its new location in this stylish Parisian building, designed by local architect Robert Paterson. Entering The Café Royal is like taking a step back in time with its stained glass, murals, mirrors and wood panelings.

Taste Scottish produce at its best in the fantastically atmospheric Circle Bar - sample a selection of Scottish cask ales, malt whiskies and why not try our home smoked delights, not forgetting the best oysters and mussels in town. Our restaurant offers a great selection of choices too - please see our restaurant page for more details.

The Café Royal has recently been recommended on Simonseeks.com, a travel website where a community of travellers, journalists and celebrities can share their Holiday Reviews. Jules Morgan, who is a travel enthusiast, has written a guide for Simonseeks.com called 'Edinburgh: My 5 Top Hotels, with photos & a wee video'. In this guide Jules has described The Café Royal as having "excellent pub food and stunning historic wood work".
