About this space

First opened in 1925, the restaurant took its name from Madame de Pompadour, the favourite mistress of King Louis XV of France, who installed her in the magnificent Palace at Versailles. The A-Listed interior décor and hand-painted walls reflect the sumptuousness of the royal court of the day, and the restaurant enjoyed the reputation of having the best tables in Edinburgh, with impressive views looking out on to Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle through the panoramic arched windows.

"There may be prettier dining rooms than the Pompadour at Edinburgh’s Caledonian Hotel, but not bloody many. It’s a wedding cake of a room, all crisp ceiling rose and cornice and detail.”
JAY RAYNOR, THE GUARDIAN
