Café Calton
Calton Hill, Edinburgh
Café Calton pairs relaxed dining with gorgeous views across the city and right out to the Firth Of Forth. Whether you’re after a sunrise coffee or sunset dinner, the skyline is the star, making the climb as rewarding as anything on the plate.
Nor’ Loft
6 Market Street, Edinburgh
In Market Street Hotel, Nor’ Loft is a sleek rooftop champagne bar offering some of Edinburgh’s finest vistas. Floor-to-ceiling windows and a small terrace open onto sweeping panoramas of Princes Street and beyond. It’s a place where the view does the talking: perfect for a drink as sunset washes the city in gold.
Sísí
15 Candleriggs, Glasgow
Sísí is all about the view. Perched high above Glasgow, you get a full sweep of the city: rooftops, the Clyde and lights stretch out in every direction. The drinks menu is slick too, with cocktails and classics. Go at sunset when the cityscape does the heavy lifting; it’s an easy place to linger longer.
