This summer, Duck & Waffle Edinburgh turns up the heat with the launch of its brand-new Summer Terrace in partnership with Veuve Clicquot. Bursting with tropical colour and energy, this vibrant rooftop retreat brings an unexpected splash of sunshine to the heart of Edinburgh.
Located on the 4th floor of St James Quarter and framed by panoramic views of Edinburgh’s historic skyline, the terrace is a summer oasis. Towering palms, vivid orchids, and cascades of tropical flora in hot pinks and fiery oranges set the scene, while playful directional signage and sunshine-yellow bistro tables, dressed with signature Veuve Clicquot blankets, lend a whimsical, Instagram-ready charm. It’s a garden in the sky – bright, inviting, and made for summer.
The Terrace has its own cocktail menu, featuring exclusive Veuve Clicquot Champagne and Belvedere Vodka creations. Highlights include La Vie En Rosé, a delightful blend of Lillet Blanc, raspberry syrup, and Veuve Clicquot Brut Rosé; Heatwave, a sultry short drink featuring Belvedere Vodka, passionfruit purée, Campari, Ancho Reyes chili liqueur, and honey; and Endless Summer, a bright and aromatic mix of Bombay Sapphire gin, peach and Earl Grey syrup, lemon, and Angostura bitters, topped with Veuve Clicquot Brut Yellow Label.
“Summer in Edinburgh doesn’t always come with a guarantee of sunshine, so we thought, we’ll make our own,” says Duck & Waffle General Manager, Alexander Winter. “The terrace is our little pocket of brightness, a space to sip, smile, and celebrate the season.
“This collaboration is about creating more than just a terrace; it’s an experience. We’ve brought together Veuve Clicquot’s unmistakable style with our own signature flair to offer something unique to the city, to capture that spirit – vibrant, stylish, and a little bit bold”.
The Duck & Waffle Summer Terrace is a versatile space that can be enjoyed day or night, whether for pre-dinner drinks, a nightcap, or an impromptu gathering with friends or family. It’s an ideal venue for hosting intimate events or corporate gatherings, accommodating up to 50 guests.
