Opulent dining under a spectacular glass dome
The Dome is one of Edinburgh’s most spectacular dining rooms, set in a former bank on George Street that dates back to the mid-1800s, with a stately Greco-Roman façade and Corinthian portico. Inside, opulence reigns: bronze doors, decorative marble floors, crystal chandeliers, high ceilings and fluted columns, all crowned by the spectacular glass dome that gives the place its name. The Grill Room, with its ornate, flower-festooned central bar, is a showstopper in itself.
What to order
The menu pairs classic Scottish cuisine with contemporary European flair. Must-try dishes include the roast lamb and the famous Dome burger, while the indulgent chocolate fondant with raspberry coulis is the perfect finish — rich, sweet and beautifully balanced. It’s grand cooking to match the surroundings.
Who it’s for
With its breathtaking interior and polished service, The Dome is a destination for special occasions, celebrations and memorable meals in the heart of the New Town. It’s equally suited to a glamorous dinner or a drink in one of its striking bars.

Not enough background music. The fish was overdried, the vegetables too sweet. The interior is excellent.
