Dining

The Kveldsro House Hotel is very much the Country House Hotel in town - relaxed ambience, and a commitment to good food, freshly produced, using local produce where possible.

You can choose to dine in either our Cocktail Bar, or the Gallery Area restaurant - our extensive menu will seek to match all expectations, with a select wine list (chosen from one of the few remaining independent merchants in Edinburgh) - enjoy your coffee in the drawingroom afterwards.

Lunch from midday, every day, with a traditional roast menu on Sundays; Dinner from 5.30pm evening, last orders 9.30pm.
