Hawksmoor Edinburgh is ideally located just a short walk from Waverley Station, Princes Street, and St. Andrew Square, set within the stunning former National Bank of Scotland Banking Hall, a Grade A listed building of national importance. The restaurant has been thoughtfully refurbished to highlight and celebrate the building’s original architectural features, creating a space that is both historic and welcoming.
At Hawksmoor, the menu draws inspiration from the exceptional produce Scotland has to offer. Seafood is sourced from the Scottish coast, while beef comes from grass-fed native breed cattle from both sides of the border. The restaurant is renowned for serving some of the best steak in Edinburgh, complemented by bar snacks and expertly crafted cocktails prepared by award-winning bartenders.
The venue features two private dining rooms, accommodating up to 12 and 48 guests respectively. These spaces are perfect for sharing-style menus, allowing groups to sample a variety of cuts, sides, and dishes. Whether you are planning a private celebration, a corporate meeting, or a casual dinner, Hawksmoor can tailor the experience to suit your needs, offering both sharing and individually plated menus to ensure every guest enjoys the full Hawksmoor experience. Vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary requirements can be easily accommodated, ensuring a flexible and inclusive dining experience.
The sharing menus feature iconic and seasonal dishes, all served family-style. Steaks are cooked to order, sliced, and presented in cast-iron skillets alongside legendary sides and sauces. Sharing puddings complete the feast, and additional items can be added to enhance the meal, including cocktail or canapé receptions, after-dinner drinks, or gifts for guests to take home. Hawksmoor also offers a curated wine selection to perfectly complement your feast, or you may bring your own wine for a corkage fee.
From feasts of grass-fed beef and sustainable seafood to wine tastings, casual dinners, or expertly coordinated private events, Hawksmoor Edinburgh provides an exceptional setting for both intimate gatherings and larger group celebrations. Every event is designed to combine outstanding food, exceptional service, and a memorable atmosphere, making it a destination where guests can enjoy the best of Scottish produce in a historic and beautifully refurbished setting.
