Edinburgh’s finest row of Georgian townhouses is the setting for this elegant seafood restaurant, where only the very best produce will do. Start in the stunning first-floor bar for an aperitif and finely crafted snacks prepared at the island counter, before moving to the understated dining room for a tasting menu based on delicious, sustainably caught fish and shellfish, be it wild halibut or Scottish langoustines. This produce drives the eye-catching dishes, which deliver subtle yet complex blends of flavours and textures. If you’re staying the night, luxurious bedrooms are available.

It takes a lot of skill and no little ability to take just a few prime ingredients and fashion dishes that are so well defined and satisfying, and the kitchen here pulls it off with aplomb. You can warm yourself by the stove in winter or sit in the walled courtyard in the summer. The lovely service team are on the ball and the music’s great too.

Following the success of aizle, Stuart Ralston took inspiration for his next restaurant from time spent in New York, naming this small plates spot after his NYC roommate, Bob Noto. It’s been a hit ever since, offering well-conceived dishes at sensible prices that are ideal for sharing. The culinary influences span the globe, with a particular focus on a range of Asian cuisines, be that through duck bao buns or a luscious chocolate and miso dessert.

There's such a pleasant feel to this neighbourhood restaurant, courtesy of a bright, clean look that’s matched by warm and unstuffy service. The skilful cooking is founded on fine Scottish produce, whether that be excellent sea trout or the finest berries from Fife. The tasting menu will allow you to make the most of the chefs’ talents, and all fits together like a well-crafted jigsaw. Ask for a table by the window if you want to watch the world go by around the Port of Leith, or opt for a seat at the spacious counter.

For over 20 years, Martin Wishart has been welcoming diners to his eponymous restaurant in the historic and characterful port of Leith. Over the years, he has continually tweaked and reassessed the food and the décor, and the bright, modern style of the dining room is a great match for the current cooking. The kitchen shows great skill in marrying top Scottish produce like grouse and Orkney scallops with classic French technique, resulting in dishes that deliver the flavours they promise, with nothing unnecessary on the plate.
