About this space

The Nest is a semi-private dining room in Duck & Waffle Edinburgh defined by a low textured overhead canopy that screens a curved dining alcove, creating an intimate dining pocket within the restaurant.

Design: The interior uses warm amber lighting, textured wall panels and brass-framed screens to create a finished, contained look. The floor combines parquet timber and patterned tiles, and the seating pairs timber dining chairs with cushioned benches.

Features: The Nest includes in-room PA speakers and complimentary Wi‑Fi for background audio and connectivity. The space benefits from air conditioning and good natural light. The area is wheelchair accessible and supported by accessible toilets and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Small teams and private groups seeking a relaxed, seated meal or an informal social gathering in a semi-private setting.

What guests say: The space is beautifully decorated and balances playful duck-themed accents with an elegant finish. Attentive service complements the interior and contributes to a welcoming experience.
