Scotland’s only floating hotel welcomes you to celebrate Valentine’s Day with the launch of a romantic tasting menu and overnight stay package
Looking for something extra lovely to do this weekend? Celebrate with your partner at the Fingal Hotel, which is permanently berthed in Edinburgh’s Port of Leith.
The hotel and restaurant is rated one of the top 25 most romantic hotels in the UK and Channel Islands on the prestigious Tripadvisor list of most ‘Dreamy stays that couples love’. The ship provides a classic setting with all the glamour and style of a superyacht, but with an air of old-world Art Deco luxury ocean liner elegance.
The dinner menu
Fingal’s Lighthouse Restaurant also holds two AA Rosettes for culinary excellence. To help create an extra touch of romance this Valentine’s Day, the ship’s galley team has unveiled a special new tasting menu for local residents and overnight guests looking for the ultimate fine dining experience using the best of Scotland’s larder.
Highlights of Fingal’s new Valentine’s tasting menu include:
Jerusalem artichoke velouté with kissabel apple, smoked pancetta and chestnuts
Fingal’s whisky hot-smoked Wester Ross salmon with cucumber, herbed cream cheese and lemon
Peterhead lemon sole with smoked leek and nori, saffron potato, Shetland mussels and Champagne beurre blanc

Confit mango with coconut and vanilla white chocolate ganache
The drinks menu
Guests will also be treated to Fingal’s new Valentine’s cocktail, the Violet Kiss, which has been created exclusively by the ship’s very own mixologists. This eye-catching violet cocktail is a sweet temptation with berries galore and is served with a violet and cassis macaron.
