Tall Glasses & Taller Views
For those looking to sip on a tall glass of champagne or call out Sláinte with a dram in hand, and not forgetting the foodies looking to graze on seasonal small plates and sharing platters, whether you're a regular or here for the first time, there's something for everyone, all in our rooftop champagne lounge.

Champagne
It's a way of life
At Nor’ Loft, we live by the philosophy that you needn’t wait for special occasions to enjoy Champagne. We love to talk about it almost as much as we love to drink it, so whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or just eager to learn your ‘brut’ from your ‘demi-sec’, let us take you on a journey through our carefully curated selection.
From independent growers to prestigious Champagne houses, we have a variety of labels featured on our Champagne Table. And since we encourage you to raise a tall glass any day of the week, we offer a selection of them by the glass.
Small Plates and Grazing Boards
grazers galore
Our seasonal dishes are created with sharing in mind, the perfect accompaniment to a chilled glass of Champagne. Incorporating classic flavours, contemporary imagination and the finest ingredients from Scotland’s natural larder. Our small plates and grazing boards are beautifully composed and sure to catch the eye of the avid foodie and budding Instagram influencer alike.
Please note, a reduced menu may be offered on certain days. If you are making a booking and would like to double-check the offering on this date, please give our friendly team a call by clicking here.
Oyster Happy Hour
Think of the classic Happy Hour but with a seafood twist, enjoy oysters for £2.00 each, every Tuesday from 4pm - 6pm! And for a little extra indulgence, we'd recommend pairing with Laurent Perrier La Cuvée Brut, to complement the fresh oysters with a hint of citrus and spice.
Advanced booking recommended, as oysters are ordered fresh and available on a first come first served basis.
Breakfast
sunrise seekers and brunch believers
As the sun comes up, the city views from the Nor’ Loft emerge. Discover our fresh pantry with a selection of all butter croissants, pastries, artisan bread and fresh fruit.
Meanwhile, our chef will be preparing freshly cooked dishes, from a stunning open kitchen.
Remember there’s no need for an occasion to raise a tall glass, start your day right with a sip of Champagne!

Our Namesake
The ancient Nor’ Loch is steeped in the history of Edinburgh. Centuries ago it sat in front of Market Street at the foot of the Castle rock, now occupied by Princes Street Gardens, and was part of the natural defences of the old town to hinder invaders. Inspired by this historic icon Nor’ Loft now takes its place as part of the city’s Old Town character.
