Epicurean

The Epicurean, another bar located inside one of Edinburgh’s finest hotels, has become the centrepiece of the Royal Mile’s Radisson Collection hotel offering an aesthetically magnetic champagne and cocktail bar. The bar was perhaps named after the Greek philosopher Epicerus because of his belief that pleasure was the greatest good. However, he also believed that it was through a modest living that such pleasure was attained and the Epicurean is by no means a modest venture; yet, neither is it gaudy. It epitomises style in its evidently deliberated decor which offers a sophisticated space to share a bottle of fizz.

While there are various foodstuffs recommended to eat with champagne ranging from scrambled eggs to angel food cake perhaps one of the best combinations is with seafood; most notably lobster and Oysters. The White Horse Oyster Bar in Edinburgh’s Canongate produces the freshest Scottish seafood delivered to the restaurant daily and pairs its dishes and sharing platters with an accommodating champagne list for a delectable indulgence.
