THE KITCHIN, EDINBURGH

Best for: Highland lovers

Tom Kitchin’s waterfront restaurant in Leith has been an Edinburgh classic since it opened in 2006, taking the finest Scottish produce – Isle of Harris tuna, squid from Pittenweem, Highland wagyu beef, Hopetoun estate venison – and combining it with classic French technique. The Kitchin is joyously openminded, finding inspiration in all manner of culinary cultures, the dining room laid back and service immaculate: this is one of those places that has something for everyone.
