The Witchery Edinburgh Reviews
So-so
The welcome coming in and on the way out was amazing. Service was fantastic. I know they are trying to create ambiance but we had to use cell phones to see menu. Biggest gripe is the price for the food you get. We had the 2 can share beef. 110
Not worth the time or money. Skip The Witchery
Had really high hopes for this experience and made reservations many months in advance for Halloween night. Unfortunately this restaurant was over rated and food was average along with over priced. The staff was rude and was not welcoming to tourists
Exceptional Hotel Words are not enough
Second visit to this out of this World hotel. Exceptional customer service. Unique exquisite suite words can't describe what you experience truly amazing. Location right next to Edinburgh castle. Witchery restaurant again exceptional service and
be.witched
by reputation, by reviews, by the Royal Mile; the restaurant is rricht up there with Edinburgh's, even Scotland's best we had a Lamb Wellington sharing portion, it was ... the best! having been driving/hiking the highlands, we had a thoug
Fabulous Food. Fantastic service
Fantastic from the moment you step down that beautiful alley way. The staff we so polite and attentive. Beautiful food. I started with sea trout which melted in the mouth. The beef was divine so tasty. A beautiful lunch celebration in a beautiful
Wonderful ambience, bad service
The atmosphere is magical and the food was wonderful. However, the service left much to be desired. If you want to experience the atmosphere, I’d recommend afternoon tea over dinner.
Wonderful experience.
Excellent experience and delicious food. I found it a little too dark to read the menu or bill although I know the dimness is to create the desired ambience.
Wants to be great but is barely good.
Oi. This place came highly recommended and I left highly disappointed. The app, beef tartar was my favorite part. The rest, huge let down. Whoever is creating these dishes doesn’t have a decent palette for the life of them. The red deer I was looki
Lunch at the witchery
Amazing moment ! We booked at a table at 1pm for 3 people. The atmosphere was sooo witchy and cozy with the candles! The room is absolutely beautiful and so well decorated. The waiters were welcoming and attentive. The food came quickly and was delic

Magnificent service and stunning environment
Absolutely fantastic service, a great location, positively stunning interior and good food. For the price i had expected the food to be better though.
Absolutely must try!
Beautiful setting and amazing food and service! Perfect way to spend our last night in Scotland! Would definitely go again.
Bewitched...
Loved it. would go back in a heartbeat. Memorable, and one of a kind. Delicious meal, inventive and tasty. Phenomenal service, unique atmosphere, much fun!
A truly special Afternoon Tea
At the Witchery for afternoon tea. Nestled inside, out of the Edinburgh rain, the staff were attentive and helpful and served up truly delicious food. Sandwiches, scones, and cakes with their own blend of tea in atmospheric surroundings. A great aft
Overpriced tourist trap with atmosphere!
Food was OK. Service cold and indifferent and spotty. None of us drink alcohol and we had to ask for water a number of times. £3.50 for a small bottle of water...come on. Rolls were hard and tasteless and certainly not worth £4.50. Truffle mashed
Lovely lunch!
Excellent light lunch, excellent service, delightful table at the window. Lovely choices for lunch, ample servings too.
An Unforgettable Birthday Experience
We visited The Witchery yesterday to celebrate my friends birthday, and it was truly unforgettable. The staff were attentive, professional, and so warm they made my friend feel incredibly special and ensured every detail was perfect. The food was ab
Spectacular Setting, Disappointing Cuisine
The restaurant presents a menu with strong visual impact, featuring carefully crafted descriptions and offerings that draw on both Scottish tradition and international influences. However, behind the impressive presentation, the culinary substance le
Bad choice of entree
This was a special anniversary dinner for us. We shared the beef tartare, very good, a bit gristly. We then ordered the aged Scotch cote de boeuf for 2 with truffle mash and French beans with shallots; everything was very tasty, the beef done to perf
Anniversary
Our waiter as great. However, the greeters were less than friendly. We arrived 11:47 and the woman at the door said brusquely “we open aT noon, come back later. We decided to sit in the courtyard for the few minutes. By then a few other couples cam
Amazing birthday
Amazing exprerience. Went there with my husband for my 30th birthday. We had a reservation for the dark witchy room. We had a warm welcome, the staff was so kind and friendly. We really enjoyed the vibe of the place. It’s calm and relaxing. The dec
Exquisite!
While I visit Edinburgh every year to visit my family (I live in Portugal), I have never been to The Witchery. Years ago, my son had told me it was superb, so I booked a table well in advance to meet my friend who flew up from London for the day to c
Enforced tipping
The service and food were excellent. Sadly enough they adopted the American style of enforced tipping (optional-but-not-really 12.5% service charge), even though the waiters get paid a full salary unlike the US. This aspect really diminished the over
An disappointing experience
A disappointing evening, staff were unpleasant bordering on rude. Food was mediocre, the bill had a twelve and half percent tip added.
Don’t waste your time.
The Witchery was highly recommended to us by good friends of mine that had been to Edinburgh before. Unfortunately, it was the worst experience we had in Scotland. We went for lunch because we were unable to get dinner reservations. From the moment w
Great food and atmosphere
Had an enjoyable meal last night. We had the shellfish bisque and spilt the lamb Wellington. They adjusted our Side choice because I am allergic to peas and tree nuts and we sub the cauliflower which was delicious. The lamb Wellington was perfectly
Good but too much “minimum food”
I really liked it. My only concern is they make you get a full meal per person. This led to some over eating and much left over. I understand there is a request to spend “enough” but there might be a better way.
Honestly not with the hype
We were pretty underwhelmed by our experience. We were seated in the "secret garden" area, so maybe we would have felt differently if we were in the main dining area. We got some weird vibes from the staff. We got the impression we were un
Moody Gothic Masterpiece!
Afternoon Tea here was absolutely amazing. Service was excellent and the dining area was a moody gothic masterpiece! Would definitely like to come again if we visit Edinburgh again in the future.

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with The Witchery Edinburgh. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience
the user has and how many percent of their transactions resulted in them issuing a refund.
If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to The Witchery Edinburgh at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the The Witchery Edinburgh page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* ElaborateHouse74, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* ElaborateHouse74 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to ElaborateHouse74 for any questions Peter may have as ElaborateHouse74 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* ElaborateHouse74 now uses their connections at The Witchery Edinburgh to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If ElaborateHouse74 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, ElaborateHouse74 receives the $200 reward which is credited to ElaborateHouse74's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at The Witchery Edinburgh!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
