A Private Fine Dining Experience
Dean Banks at the Pompadour hosts a beautiful private dining room, perfect for your wedding, corporate event or special occasion. The room is private and is closed off from the main restaurant area.
First opened in 1925, the restaurant took its name from Madame de Pompadour, the favourite mistress of King Louis XV of France, who installed her in the magnificent Palace at Versailles. The A-Listed interior décor and hand-painted walls represent the sumptuousness of the day's royal court.
The restaurant has a reputation for having the best tables in Edinburgh, with spectacular views of Princes Street and Edinburgh Castle through the panoramic arched windows.
