Howies Waterloo
Our flagship restaurant Howies Waterloo remains open 7 days a week.
Restricted hours from 11.30 until 6pm and no booze but other than that….it’s business as usual!
Lara and team are looking forward to welcoming you in to enjoy our new Autumn menu all the seasonal goodies you expect from your local restaurant.
At this time of year we all need a virtual hug as we are not able to give a real one, and to this end we have launched the Howies Roast on a Sunday. Mmmmm. BOOK NOW
The Roast will vary, from Scottish Beef to Scottish Lamb for the meat eaters and a deliciously bespoke Vegetarian Roast for those who prefer not to eat meat.
The accompaniments are staying the same week to week, the main reason being we are all hooked on these extraordinary Yorkshire puds….just look at these little beauties and tell me you’re not licking your lips.
Tier 3 is where we stay for the moment so our opening hours remain 11.30am until 6pm.
During the rollercoaster that is November 2020 in Edinburgh we have temporarily closed Howies Victoria Street.
A tour of Howies Victoria Street which reopens today! 19th August 2020.
We thought you might like to have wee preview of what you might expect when you come in to Howies Victoria Street in our brave new world.
It’s best with the sound on so you can hear the measures we have taken before throwing our doors open again. Rest assured all you need to worry about is who you are going to ask along and what you’re going to order from our new menu!
Looks great doesn’t it? Why not strike whilst the pan is hot and book now!
We are delighted to be part of The Eat Out To Help Scheme.
Howies Waterloo open now and Scotts Kitchen which reopens on Friday 31st are delighted to be part of this Government Scheme to encourage diners back out and into the restaurants, bars and cafes.
It’s a great deal!
Basically you get 50% off your food bill on a Monday to Wednesday lunch or dinner until Monday 31st August with a maximum of £10 off each person. Given our prices at Howies it’s practically for nothing…so do take advantage of it, take your friend, Mum or yourself out…I am yet to meet anyone who is not dreaming of eating out, letting someone else cook, and serve their food and do the dread washing up. Aaaaaaahhhh what luxury.
