Inspired by the beloved classic The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, guests at the restaurant and bar located at St James Quarter will be transported back to their childhoods, embarking on an adventure reminiscent of Lucy, Edmund, Susan, and Peter's journey through the wardrobe into a mysterious winter realm.
The transformation begins at the 4th-floor entrance, where guests are welcomed by the iconic wardrobe, snow-covered trees, and woodland creatures—an enchanting gateway into Narnia. Inside, the signature lamppost rises among snow-dusted trees, while frosted branches and garlands elegantly adorn the banquettes. Above, a dazzling balloon installation shimmers like a winter sky, wrapping visitors in the magic of the season.
Duck & Waffle Edinburgh General Manager, Alex Winter said:
"This year, we've transformed Duck & Waffle Edinburgh for the season and invite guests to join us for our enchanted Narnia-themed festivities, which include a restaurant makeover and a vintage wardrobe scene complete with cosy winter throws, snow and icicles. A forest area and other Narnia references from the fairytale novel are throughout the bar and restaurant for guests to discover during their visit".
Festive Cocktails:
This holiday season, Duck & Waffle Edinburgh partners with Brugal, to create a limited-edition menu of curated festive cocktails that capture the essence of Narnia. Highlights include: Winter’s Embrace, a warm and cosy blend of Brugal 1888 rum, pumpkin spice, cinnamon, and whipped cream, Aslan’s Roar, a combination of Brugal 1888 rum, Kahlúa, espresso, and hazelnut syrup, and Witch’s Jewel, a punchy mix of Brugal 1888 rum, Campari, pomegranate molasses, pineapple, and lime, complemented by Turkish Delight trinket boxes throughout the bar.
