Fine Dining · Edinburgh
A Michelin-starred tasting menu isn't where most families picture a night out, but there's a kids' menu, high chairs, buggy access and free parking, so it can be done — with realistic expectations. The £69 three-course set lunch is the sensible way in: daytime, shorter, and far kinder on the bill than the tasting menus. The signature hand-dived Orkney scallop, baked in its shell and opened at the table, is what people talk about afterwards, along with seared red mullet, a tangy sea buckthorn panna cotta and a rhubarb crumble soufflé one diner rated the finest they'd had. Service is warm and professional, though pacing can drag mid-meal, and the chef often comes out to greet tables. Book well ahead, come at lunch, and don't arrive late — punctuality matters here.
