Fine Dining Scene In Edinburgh

THREE NEW RESTAURANTS IN EDINBURGH

Some of us like to stay away from Edinburgh during the summer months, and others love the buzz and busyness. Whether you want to enjoy these restaurants in the thick of city life or wait until it quietens down, they should go on your list. These three restaurants have big named chefs behind them so expectations are high. Let’s lay them out and see which one you fancy…

The Cottage

Tucked away in the Royal Terrace Gardens, The Cottage is a 19th-century sanctuary designed by William Playfair. Once the home of the gardens' keeper, it is now a space filled with life, warmth, and the very best of Scotland’s larder. They believe in the honest beauty of a well-executed dish, led by the seasonality of thier garden. The Cottage is directed by Peter Adshead, whose career spans Michelin-starred dining rooms and Edinburgh’s premier 5-star hotels.

Lennox

‘Unapologetic, indulgent cooking built around flavours you already love’ is at the heart of this new restaurant on Queensferry Street. Restauranteur and chef, Nico Simeone, is well know in the Edinburgh scene as he is behind 'Six by Nico’. Lennox will be striping things back and is more of a personal reflection of his cooking philosophy. It follows the openings in Glasgow and Manchester.

KIN

Gary Maclean, First National Chef of Scotland and winner of MasterChef: The Professionals, brings to KIN countless stories of provenance, craft, tradition and a deep personal understanding of Scottish cuisine. KIN is not a house, it's a home. A place made for chatter, togetherness and conversations that linger. A place where Scotland's finest ingredients meet genuine warmth and quiet confidence. KIN is a feeling.
