This is not just a restaurant this is an eating experience, my budget is tight, but when it comes to the Witchery I thoroughly indulge myself and my partner. Food cooked served and presented to its finest glory and the almighty bible of wine lists lays testament to the high standards that are reached and all within the must astoundingly beautiful of settings. In short if I could recommend a single restaurant to visit in the British Isles then it would be the Witchery in Edinburgh (quickly followed by the Voodoo Cafe in Darlington).
