Tall Glasses & Taller Views
Discover Edinburgh from a uniquely new perspective and tap into the heart and soul of our city centre location. Primely placed between the Old and New Towns, our 7th floor rooftop Champagne lounge exudes character and nods to its historic, captivating, Scottish heritage. We encourage you to raise a tall glass any day of the week, enjoy delicious flavours and take in the backdrop of Edinburgh’s iconic skyline through the lens of our full height windows and rooftop terraces.
A creative hub by day and urban retreat by night, grab a table or lounge in our hand-crafted furniture. Join us for that business meeting, Friday feeling or afternoon soirée.
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 over 20 labels featured on our Champagne Table. And since we encourage you to raise a tall glass any day of the week, we offer over half of them by the glass.

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.
