Scotland's Must-Visit Restaurants

To say that eating at The Kitchin is a supernatural experience is an understatement. Inspired by the illustrious ingredients on Scotland’s doorstep, Chef Tom Kitchin takes advantage of seasonal produce with a nature-to-plate mentality, creating refined modern British dishes with the application of French cooking techniques. The result is edible art as delicious as it looks. For a Michelin-starred experience, the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed amidst the trendy, airy getup in a former whisky warehouse on Edinburgh’s personable Leith Walk. If only every kitchen could be The Kitchin.

An overwhelming sense of gratification is accomplished after one taste of The Albannach. This charming boutique hotel and eatery sits on the coast of the northwest Scottish Highlands. As Scotland’s most northerly Michelin-starred spot, it achieved culinary landmark status from decades of consistent dedication and passion from its talented chef-proprietors. The food resonates with the soul, with cooking techniques and components that pay homage to the encompassing traditional moorland, croft and sea settings reigning supreme. Between the staunch preference for sourcing local, transformative tastes, coveted wine selection and picture-perfect atmosphere, you can’t put a label on The Albannach.
