★★ Michelin££££Modern French
Hidden away in the depths of the world-famous Gleneagles Hotel, this intimate restaurant has a luxurious classical elegance, courtesy of dark wood walls, clever lighting and colourful food-themed art. The philosophy and spirit of the late Andrew Fairlie live on in refined cooking with a French heart and a Scottish soul. Superb produce, much of it from the kitchen garden, is combined with exemplary classical technique – which is most evident in the outstanding sauces, from a punchy Bordelaise to a glossy lamb jus. The service brilliantly balances formality with friendliness.
