The Celebration of Seafood dinner will mark the beginning of this year’s seafood season, with a four course menu paired with a selection of wines.
Using fresh local produce, along with flavours from across the world, the menu will showcase the very best of Scottish seafood within the unique setting of the Pompadour by Galvin - often described as one of Scotland's most magnificent dining rooms thanks to its period features and views of the Castle.

Diners can enjoy North Berwick crab – creel-caught just half an hour from Edinburgh – served with a summer salad of heritage tomatoes and tomato consommé.
The light, fresh flavours will continue with a course of Asian-inspired scallop ceviche with lemongrass and lime leaf yogurt and mint pickled cucumber.
This selection of Scottish shellfish is complemented by a mouthwatering dish of Dashi-poached fillet of wild turbot with oyster and radish, and the meal will be rounded off with an indulgent dessert of bitter chocolate tarte with Valrhona Caramelia ice cream.
Each course is accompanied by a paired wine, carefully selected by the Pompadour by Galvin’s Head Sommelier, Damien Trinckquel.
Guests will be able to sample fine wines from Australia, Germany and Spain, with each glass expertly chosen to match the flavours of the delicate seafood dishes.
