SUSHISAMBA Edinburgh, Rooftop terrace bar in St James Quarter, Edinburgh, Scotland.
SUSHISAMBA Edinburgh is a rooftop bar on the 10th floor of the W Edinburgh hotel, offering a fusion menu that combines Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian dishes alongside expansive city views. The venue blends indoor and outdoor spaces, with the open terrace providing unobstructed views across Edinburgh's skyline.
The venue opened recently as part of the St James Quarter development, a major urban renewal project in Edinburgh's city center. It represents the arrival of a globally recognized restaurant brand into the Scottish dining scene.
The cuisine here draws from Japanese, Brazilian, and Peruvian traditions, reflecting how modern food brings together different parts of the world in one place. You can taste cooking methods and flavors that would normally be found continents apart.
The restaurant sits in the central St James Quarter, making it easily accessible by public transport and on foot from many areas of the city. Advance reservations are advised, especially for weekend visits or evening service, to secure a spot with terrace seating.
On clear days, the terrace offers views that stretch beyond the city center toward distant hills and landmarks, revealing Edinburgh's geography from an angle most visitors never see. This vantage point also frames historic buildings and monuments in ways that reveal their full proportions.
