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.

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.

Afternoon Tea

You know we love a little indulgence, and this season’s Afternoon Tea offers just that.

We’ve layered summer flavours into every bite: a light and tangy raspberry & coconut sponge with lime buttercream, tropical mango & yuzu ice cream lollipops (yes, they’re as refreshing as they sound), and coffee, passionfruit & pistachio macaron. All served alongside a handpicked selection of our traditional Nor' Loft style bites from goat’s cheese panna cotta with port jelly to a harissa lamb sausage roll.

It's not afternoon tea without scones. One sweet with whipped honey butter and strawberry jam, one savoury with a little kick of 'nduja and parmesan—because we don’t believe in choosing between sweet or savoury.

All served with barista-style Gordon Street Coffee. roasted on the ground floor of Market Street hotel, or Canton loose leaf teas, and, if the mood takes you, a chilled glass of Champagne never goes amiss.

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.
