Edinburgh has a new destination for chic dining and signature cocktails! Liberté Café-Bar & Brasserie and the accompanying cocktail haven, Bar 1819, have officially opened their doors at Apex Waterloo Place. Blending contemporary European style with rich Scottish charm, these venues promise a sophisticated experience that’s both stylish and welcoming.

The brasserie offers all-day dining, starting with fresh pastries and coffee, transitioning to lunch and dinner menus filled with seasonal, locally-sourced ingredients. Signature dishes include Balvenie smoked salmon with lemon crème fraîche and herring roe, and indulgent mains like ox cheek in red wine sauce. Housed within a beautifully restored Georgian space, the brasserie boasts stunning interiors inspired by 19th-century Palm Courts.

Adjacent to Liberté, Bar 1819 dazzles with an innovative cocktail menu. Highlights include the Dubbel Malted Old Fashioned, combining whisky and ale traditions, and the velvety Praline Espresso. Complementing the drinks are small plates and sharing boards, like the delectable charcuterie selection or rump fillet tataki with ponzu and crispy garlic.

With its elegant design, expertly curated menus, and a commitment to quality, Liberté and Bar 1819 are poised to become go-to destinations for locals and visitors alike. Whether you’re seeking a morning coffee, a leisurely dinner, or an unforgettable cocktail, this new venue invites you to indulge in its vibrant energy and timeless charm.
