Chef Dean Banks is launching a revamp of his signature restaurant in the Caledonian Hotel, in the form of 1925 at Pompadour, which opens its doors today (23 July).
To celebrate the launch, diners will receive 50 per cent off food between 23 and 30 July.
Featuring fresh, local, produce, seafood lovers can sample Dean’s signature lobster thermidor, Orkney hand-dived scallops with vadouvan carrot or champagne-baked market fish. Diners can also enjoy corn-fed chicken with king oyster mushrooms, pomme mousseline and a madeira sauce or smoked ricotta and egg-yolk raviolo, served with leeks and lemon butter.
Starters are priced from £15, mains from £26 and a three-course lunch costs £39.50.
Dean said: “Consumers are moving away from multi-course tasting menus, instead preferring restaurants where they can enjoy premium dishes at an accessible price point.
“1925 at Pompadour perfectly brings this together, all under the iconic setting of Edinburgh Castle, and we look forward to welcoming diners to experience this next chapter in our restaurant’s history.”
