Dean Banks’ fine dining restaurant is located within the historic Pompadour restaurant at The Caledonian Hotel, Princes Street.

The restaurant embraces the same ethos as Haar Restaurant, St Andrews and showcase the best of land and sea. Table cloths line the tables in a ‘wedding cake of a room’.

The menu constantly evolves, reflecting the seasons. Dean heroes our land and seas, producing a menu which showcases Scotland’s natural resources. This includes the very best local produce from Edinburgh, Fife and beyond. Foraged seasonal produce is preserved to enjoy the fruits of Summer year-round. Each guest will enjoy a sensory experience like no other, which will leave a lasting memory.

Dean’s passion for food is truly reflected in each course which will take you on a journey through his past travels and experiences.

    Its a nice restaurant and staff attention. However one of the courses was different from what we was listed on the menu. The cod had been substituted for trout but no one told us. After thr course I asked what the fish was as it wasn't cod and initially the waiter was unsure, he said it was always the freshest fish they recieve and so it was probably seabass. It definitely wasn't seabass. We were also told they had ran out of cod but then the table next us recieved their fish dish which was cod. It just felt like we had been lied to and there was no proper explanation for switching the fish or for not even letting us know the menu had changed.

    The food was wonderful. The staff were friendly, attentive and knowledgeable, explaining the taster menu with just the right detail and the room is a gem. Probably the best lunch experience I have had in over fifty years of dining.
