Innovative Scottish restaurant in the city centre

Twenty Princes Street Grill & Smokehouse has a prime city centre position on Edinburgh’s Princes Street. Triple height windows give the first floor restaurant fantastic views over the city centre to the Castle. With oak floors, ornate ceilings and leather banquette seating, the interior is just as eye-catching. In the kitchen, the chefs use lots of Lothian-sourced ingredients to create dishes with flair.

Josper Grill menu

The menus are local and seasonal at Twenty Princes Street but some dishes are constant. The charcoal-burning Josper Grill is teamed with dry-aged Scottish beef at Twenty Princes Street to produce the restaurant’s signature steaks. Scottish shellfish are also prominent and usually treated simply as in the roast shellfish platter. Culinary influences range from the Far East to the Med while local ingredients anchor the menus.

Typical dishes might be the halibut with Scottish chanterelles, dashi broth, citrus jelly and vermicelli or the truffled gnocchi and roasted summer squash risotto. Children have their own menu at Twenty Prices Street while adults might appreciate the extensive cocktail list which can be enjoyed in the restaurant or the adjacent Juniper bar.

Princes Street transport links

Twenty Princes Street Grill & Smokehouse is opposite Waverley train station; on the tram line and beside several bus stops. Taxis are plentiful. On street parking is scarce. Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh Festival Theatre and several of the National Galleries of Scotland are within a brisk ten minute walk.
