Hawksmoor Edinburgh is located in the beautiful former National Bank of Scotland Banking Hall, a Grade A listed ‘building of national importance’, a short walk from Waverley station, Princes Street and just off St. Andrew Square. The 165 cover restaurant has been sensitively refurbished to celebrate the building’s original landscape and it features two private dining rooms that can accommodate groups of 13 and 46 diners. Both spaces are private, whilst looking into the restaurant, and are ideal for friends and family feasts, wedding parties, business events, celebrations or pure pleasure. In Edinburgh, Hawksmoor draws on the amazing produce that Scotland has to offer, featuring seafood from around the Scottish coast and beef from grass-fed native breed cattle from both sides of the border.

Our McLellan private room takes the name of one of the greatest Scottish artists of the twentieth century, Sadie McLellan, who created the etched windows that surround our building. In them she pays homage to the industries of the bank’s main customers: agriculture, fisheries, shipping, architecture, education, engineering, weaving and printing. McLellan room offers intimate dining and hosts up to 13 guests around one grand dining table. A room perfect for birthday celebrations, team lunches and special gatherings

    We had a pleasure visiting this place recently and what a great experience it was. We knew what we wanted to order upfront - the Big Matt Burger. Yeah-yeah, it’s a steakhouse. But OMG, this burger is worth all the awards it had. It’s just that good. Starters were plentiful and tasty as well. The place is nice and the service was very welcoming and laid back. It’s located in the building built in early 20th century which used to be the Scottish Bank. Built to mimic the style old American banks. Overall inside it very stylish and while you wait for your order you can definitely enjoy the interior. Do I recommend? Yes! Will I come back or try it in other places? Yes to that as well.

    We went as two couples on a Sunday to celebrate our 40th wedding anniversary. This is not the first time that we have dined here, so we knew that the meal would be excellent. We each ordered cocktails while we decided what we planned to eat. TJ (Irish) was our server and he was simply outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble. One of the cocktails was not what had been expected and allowed us to switch this for another which was unexpected but a great goodwill gesture. We ordered our dishes and then one of TJ's colleagues asked if we wanted to choose a wine for the email. With the choice on offer we were struggling to choose one. We told him what kind we liked, and he suggested that he would bring a small taster of three on the menu. Again totally unexpected. We chose our wine. The main course was fantastic. With a bit of room left for dessert, we each ordered something different and another cocktail each. Again all fantastic and very generous portions. The pace of serving was on point, and we didn't feel at all rushed. The ambiance was perfect with just slight background music. Highly recommended.

    We were a walk in and waited for a hour for our table, at the bar. Great bar service and our wait passed in a jiffy. Although, the Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon was exceptional, the mark up is excruciating. We ordered the Sunday lunch menu and the food was well presented with delicious ingredients but, and it’s a big but, it was lukewarm bordering on cold. If we hadn’t been on a tight schedule, we would have sent it back. We were credited with a main course which was appreciated. We put it down to an off day and probably will return as the service, ambience and food was of a high quality, albeit a little cold.
