Does the revolving door into the Café Royal Oyster Bar have magical properties?
A spin through that door and you’re time-travelling back to 1863 when this gorgeous Victorian building welcomed its first patrons and gave fashionable Edinburgh ladies and gents a taste of Parisian café society.
Despite its name, the Oyster Bar is definitely a restaurant operation with prices and style to match, but the adjacent Circle Bar provides an equally splendid setting for a dram or Scottish cask ale, with burgers and sandwiches on offer in addition to the seafood.
Pop in to Edinburgh's hidden gem to sample a selection of Scottish cask ales, malt whiskies and why not try our home smoked delights, we smoke food on the premises every day.
Guardian Newspaper–21 June 2008 Irvine Welsh’s (author) favorite restaurant in Edinburgh “As well as being an amazingly beautiful building, the Café Royal is also a great place for seafood.

We got together at The Cafe Royal, 19 West Register Street, Edinburgh, Scotland.
It was years since I had been to The Cafe Royal and I had forgotten what a popular, busy pub it is.
When we arrived about 3pm the bar was quite empty: by the time we left to find a different watering hole some five hours later, The Cafe Royal was back to being the bustling bar I remembered from years ago.
The company, the food and the drinks were all excellent, so whether you are looking for a pub to watch a rugby match or a restaurant to enjoy a meal with friends, I highly recommend Edinburgh’s Cafe Royal.

Authentic spit and sawdust pubs are as rare as speckled hen's teeth, but "spit and polish" pubs like The Café Royal are needles in the hostelry haystack.
With its white marble floor, brass foot-rails and chandeliers buffed to brilliance, the Royal has reopened for business after a £250,000 spring clean.
This polished gem set near Edinburgh's Castle Rock is worth visiting just to ogle its Victorian opulence.
Tiled murals from Royal Doulton depicting great inventors grace the walls of the Circle Bar - there's mechanical engineer George Stephenson polishing his Rocket - while the Oyster Bar has eight stained-glass windows showing popular outdoor pursuits.
The Café Royal has emerged gleaming from its shell.

A pub of two halves, featuring a bar and posher dining area – mostly dedicated to quality fish dishes.
An ornate drinking palace dating to 1863, the Café Royal Circle Bar is among the city’s most beautiful places to stop for a beer.
There are usually a few cask ales available, a reasonable whisky selection and one of the most elevated bar menus in Edinburgh.
You can go upmarket here with a dozen oysters or a seafood platter – alternatively stick to more typical pub grub like haggis, neeps and tatties, or fish and chips.
The bar only forms one part of the premises however; the rest is given over to the equally ornate Café Royal restaurant, with its old-school seafood menu, where dishes like lobster thermidor have been available since forever.
