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.
