锡兰家庭旅馆

The team from Cail Bruich are behind this likeable neighbourhood spot decked out with cool modern décor and boasting a large bar – start with the well-priced house negroni or something creative from the extensive cocktail list. The cooking is led by the top-quality ingredients, be they seasonal girolles or super-fresh Loch Fyne mackerel, and the charcoal grill plays a key role in proceedings too. The best value comes via the set menu or sharing dishes from the à la carte. Knowledgeable and attentive service adds to the appeal.

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.
