Champagne

It's a way of life

At Nor’ Loft, we live by the philosophy that you needn’t wait for special occasions to enjoy Champagne.


From independent growers to prestigious Champagne houses, we have a variety of labels featured on our Champagne Table. And since we encourage you to raise a tall glass any day of the week, we offer a selection of them by the glass. 

Bites and Sharers

grazers galore

Our seasonal dishes are created with sharing in mind, the perfect accompaniment to a chilled glass of Champagne. Incorporating classic flavours, contemporary imagination and the finest ingredients from Scotland’s natural larder. Our bites are beautifully composed and sure to catch the eye of the avid foodie and budding Instagram influencer alike.

Our Namesake

The ancient Nor’ Loch is steeped in the history of Edinburgh. Centuries ago it sat in front of Market Street at the foot of the Castle rock, now occupied by Princes Street Gardens, and was part of the natural defences of the old town to hinder invaders. Inspired by this historic icon Nor’ Loft now takes its place as part of the city’s Old Town character.
