Modern Scottish restaurants in Europe

  1. A

    Castle Terrace

    It was little more than a year after opening in 2010 that TV chef Tom Kitchin's second Edinburgh restaurant was awarded a Michelin star. The menu is seasonal and applies sharply whetted Parisian skills to the finest of local produce, be it Ayrshire pork, Aberdeenshire lamb or Newhaven crab – even the cheese in the sauces is Scottish.

    Granite Park

    This smart new restaurant is the talk of the town, taking Scottish favourites such as venison, haddock and smoked salmon and giving them an Asian or Mediterranean twist. Best to book.

  3. C

    Plumed Horse

    Smartly suited and booted staff welcome you to this quiet corner of understated elegance, where the muted decor of pale blues and greens, cream leather chairs and crisp white linen places the focus firmly on the exquisitely prepared and presented food. Eight-course tasting menu £65, plus £45 for matching wines.

    Kitchen

    This spectacular glass-fronted restaurant offers a great menu and a view of the River Ness – try to get a table upstairs.

    Musa Art Cafe

    The bright paintings on the walls match the vibrant furnishings and smart gastronomic creations at this great cafe-restaurant, set in a former church. As well as a menu that focuses on quality local produce cooked in a quirky way – think haggis-and-coriander spring rolls with chilli jam – there are Brewdog beers from Fraserburgh, and interesting music, sometimes live.

    Howie's

    A chic bistro dishing up great-value 'modern Scottish' cuisine accompanied by very reasonably priced house wine. Two-/three-course dinner £18/20.
