Every year, Bonnar’s at The Scott transforms into an elegant festive wonderland. We’re not talking big cringey Santas and flashing multicoloured lights, this is where refinement meets comfort. Set within The Scott Hotel in the heart of Edinburgh, just off Holyrood Park Road, Bonnar’s restaurant comes with historic charm and interiors that feel made for Christmas parties.
Whether you’re planning a corporate celebration or a more informal Christmas party at Bonnar’s, The Library makes for an unforgettable location. Suitable for parties of 20 for fine dining menus, and 30 standing for receptions, lush red carpets, and gold-gilt cornices create an atmosphere of intimacy and festive cheer. But this is Bonnars, so party guests should expect festive garlands and amber-lit pine trees all tastefully decked out with shimmering baubles.
As if the glorious interiors weren’t enough, Christmas parties at Bonnar’s offer exceptional fine dining menus formed with the finest Scottish produce. Guests can anticipate the inventive, modern dishes that head chef Pier Berretta has become known for. Festive starters have included duck egg with fermented asparagus and a baked Jerusalem artichoke veloute with white chocolate and dill. Follow it up with lobster and salmon ravioli dressed with lobster oil and salmon sand, and venison loin with a roast potato mousse, haricot beans and Worcester jelly. Top it all off with elegant desserts like a sherry saffron trifle, or Jerusalem artichoke creme brulee with white chocolate sorbet.
To elevate your celebration, Bonnar’s offers an extensive wine list, featuring fine wines from sparkling and whites to premium reds and dessert wines. There’s no better place or occasion to indulge in a pre-dinner glass of Champagne than at a festive party inside an 18th-century baronial house. And if you’re really looking to impress, you‘ll have the chance to stay overnight at The Scott and make the most of The Velvet Lounge bar.
