Whighams Wine Cellars

Right off Charlotte Square, down the narrow stairs you'll find Whigham's, an authentic Georgian wine cellar. You'd expect a blistering wine list with a nice line in champagnes, and her it is, but you wouldn't necessarily expect the fresh, high-quality cooking, emphasis on seafood, that emerges from the refurbished kitchen. Menu changes daily. The wine cellar ambience is suitably dark, with alcoves, leather and wood, but now there is also a bright and airy eating area. The relaxed atmosphere is smart enough that you could bring your boss and not lose career points.

Atmosphere, location, good food and terrific wines all come together in this well-established wine cellar just off Princes Street. Your social or informal business group will be seated in the main restaurant and enjoy the freshest of Scottish ingredients confidently prepared. The service is friendly, the decor not in-your-face, and the entire experience pleasant and relaxing.
