Set within the luxurious Gleneagles Townhouse on St Andrew Square, The Spence offers a refined yet welcoming dining experience in the centre of Edinburgh. With its grand, high-ceilinged dining room, elegant interior design, and a menu showcasing the best of modern Scottish cuisine, it’s a spot that balances style and comfort effortlessly. Whether you're visiting for a special occasion or grabbing a bite before a concert, the setting feels just right—sophisticated without being stuffy.
The Spence is just a short walk from several of Edinburgh’s top live music venues, making it an ideal choice for a pre-show dinner or drinks. The staff is known for their attentive and efficient service, so you won’t be left watching the clock. And while the space is buzzing, it’s never too loud—meaning you can still chat about your setlist predictions without shouting. The stylish bar also makes it a great option for a quick cocktail before heading out.
Guests on TripAdvisor and OpenTable consistently praise the restaurant’s beautiful décor, friendly staff, and creative Scottish menu. Dishes like the Orkney scallops and Highland beef carpaccio get frequent shoutouts, and many diners describe the experience as “relaxed luxury.” The cocktail list is also a hit, along with the option to sit at the bar for a more casual experience.
While the food and service are top-tier, some reviewers mention that the prices can be on the higher side—especially for drinks. Also, because it’s a popular spot, reservations are highly recommended to avoid disappointment.
For concert-goers who want a stylish, central spot to enjoy fine Scottish fare before the show, The Spence delivers on all fronts.
