Balmaha Inn

A smart neighbourhood restaurant in a very smart neighbourhood, Elements occupies a swish, lavishly renovated premises blending royal blue fabrics with dark wood and gold furnishings. The kitchen applies classical techniques to top-quality Scottish ingredients, while incorporating some subtle international influences, and delivers an interesting range of flavours and textures. Beef short rib with beetroot, smoked eel and beef dashi is a good example. The on-display wine is a nod to the well-stocked list featuring something for every palate and purse.
