Restaurant Martin Wishart in Edinburgh, City of

We had lunch yesterday 19 October. We had a wonderful experience. Everything was perfect . The staff are amazing, one and all. The service is impeccable. The food is truly exceptional. If you get the chance to go here, do not hestitate. I cannot find fault with anything at all. We chose the Market Place menu and I was fortunate enough not to be driving , so chose the wine pairing with my menu. It was so worth it. I had an English wine for the first time and highly recommend it. My husband was driving and only had a sip of each of mine, but he agreed totally that the choices were perfect. We were both bowled over by the whole experience .I am looking forward to going back as soon as possible.

Had a table of 8 for lunch on a Friday. Absolutely excellent 3 course lunch menu. Firstly the amouse bouch came as 5bite size portions followed by bread. The scallops was excellent starter dish. The mains of monkish again excellent . The passionfruit creme brulle and the blackberries sorbet with white creme was Also Excellent. Service was excellent. We had a bottle of the Gosset champagne and Sancerre which was a mark up of x3.

4/9/2024 Lunch Wonderful lunch made special by the 3 ladies and 1 gent who served us. genuine and non -pretentious service unlike some establishments. They took time to listen and whilst busy took time to chat without compromising service. Great wine choices made on request. Food was delightful. I had tasting menu and mum had lunch menu. The Roe deer was melt in the mouth delicious . Other call out the Beetroot and horseradish. we were never rushed and my mum who is 94 have a fantastic memory. Thanks Team

We had the 25th anniversary menu and everything was excellent! We have been a few times and this place doesn't disappoint, amazing food and wine, great service and nice atmosphere. Why they haven't made it to 2 star I have no idea (and it far exceeds a 3 star we visited elsewhere in the UK recently)

Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish: Super warm welcome from Irma and her team, the amuse bouche were sensational, in particular the beetroot macaroon was totally unexpected in the most positive way! Rest of the degustation menu was of the same, and we struggled to decide which one we preferred. The presentation, the dishes, the atmosphere, everything was perfect! As it was pouring rain when we left, Irma let us one a spare umbrella which was lovely! With some many high quality restaurants in Edinburgh, Martin Wishart definitely left its mark and will be on our short list for special occasions.

Back to the beginnings of modern cuisine with the smallest possible portions. Our scallops were half of one scallop !!This is unbelievable for the price of the menu.We were hungry when we left.

It was amazing experience! The food is absolutely delicious and presented in a unique way. Service is beyond excellent. Enturage is very elegant.Highly recommend this restaurant.

I was treated to a beautiful birthday dinner here. The horseradish amuse-bouche was incredible. One to remember. The meat was beautifully cooked. Staff were lovely. A memorable evening.

We actually booked my birthday meal here last year. Small restaurant but with excellent use of mirrors to keep it light and airy feeling. Absolutely delicious meal - loved the additional starters/amuse bouche. As a birthday treat they prepared a chocolate treat which was delicious. Lovely service - very light-hearted but extremely well informed about the food. We'll be back!

Stunning menu and service, easily the best restaurant in Edinburgh. I’m surprised it doesn’t have an additional star, definitely felt more like 2 star than a 1. Every course was prepared perfectly and explained eloquently. The wine list is excellent as well.

We had the lunch menu, the food was delicious and the service was very kind. Alessio, grazie mille!

An outstanding restaurant with excellent food and service. The 25th anniversary tasting menu was one of the best meals we have ever had. The wait staff was top notch. Ignore the bad review posted a few posts down. You will not be disappointed in this restaurant.

The Good: Service was friendly, professional & informative, food was technically impressive & produce was high quality. The Bad: Decor, ambience & lighting felt like a retirement home. The flavors were muted and unfortunately bland. Obviously on purpose to highlight the produce, though it was a theme throughout every dish. Nothing popped. Under seasoned, underwhelming & overpriced. Beige, bland & boring unfortunately. Great for old folks that don't like bold flavors or to be challenged. Wish we knew before booking.

Had a wonderfull experience eating here. Food is delicious. The waitress are very polite and friendly, treat us like a friend and helpfull. This restaurant is very recomended

Amazing service, fun and innovative food. We went for lunch and were treated to a memorable meal. We each chose a different prix fixe menu, and they accommodated our group's allergies and preferences. We all thought the dishes were creative and delighted in each bite.

The course, wine pairing, talk, atmosphere, everything was perfect. The price is about half that of London...It has become a restaurant I always go to when I visit Edinburgh.

An unforgettable experience, a wonderful, caring team always seeking to fully satisfy you. I highly recommend.

The food and service were excellent! The manager and staff members were very accommodating in helping me avoid dairy as much as possible. The atmosphere was welcoming and hospitable, and the food was outstanding. Overall, a great experience with top-notch service

Absolutely incredible. Every single bite was unbelievable and the service was exceptional as well.

Every course packed with flavour. Staff brilliant - attentive without hovering, not too formal, friendly without being too familiar. Expensive but special.

The most unaccommodating and rude staff. Do not eat here, they do not deserve their Michelin star simply for the reason of having a rude and disrespectful staff. Save your money and go anywhere else. Far better food and diverse menu at other establishments like Cote, Number One, and The Kitchin.

Have been here before and loved first time and ok second time! Great location definitely… welcome good.. but slow after that to be honest. Food was good but not fabulous..wine flight good and one was spectacular. For over £400 for the food and wine flight ( plus the 2 extra wines each because wine was meagre)! I suggest Fishers for meal and ocean mist for drinks/ cocktails. Sorry Martin wishart😢

good quality, good service, high price, sophisticated audience

Very nice Michelin Star experience.

Still the best restaurant in and around Edinburgh

One of the best meals we've had. We were visiting Edinburgh and booked ahead for their lunch menu, which is very reasonably priced for the quality. We were treated to several amuse bouchés before our main meal which we weren't expecting, and these were delicious and very well thought out. The starter of scallop squid ink risotto was exquisite - definitely my favourite course. The halibut was perfectly cooked. The dessert of dulcey chocolate cremeux tart was an absolute triumph. The staff went the extra mile to make sure we're looked after (including offering us more bread to mop up the delicious butter and accompaniments). All in all a spectacular meal!

Unquestionably one of the best meals I've ever eaten. Contacted the restaurant with a couple of weeks notice to see if they could do a vegan menu and what they did was incredible. Probably one of the best things I've ever eaten was the pasta dish with morels. The tasting menu and the wine pairings are just on another level. This is for a really special occasion and the staff were wonderful. Thank you so much!

Nice place but portion size and quality on serving food was warm and small but our first time here it was nice experience the staff are very attentive to detail

We came to celebrate an important birthday and were not disappointed. Wonderful food exceptional service and well priced good wines. Our party of 12 thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would very much recommend any party to go to this fantastic restaurant. Thank you all for making our evening so special.

We went to celebrate an anniversary. We enjoyed the tasting menu for dinner and it was excellent! Stand out aspects were the beetroot horseradish macaron, halibut ceviche, Orkney scallop with caviar. The staff are knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. The decor is elegant and understated. It was a wonderful experience and we will be back. Highly recommended!!!!

Great food and amazing customer service! A place not to skip if in Edinburgh.

A gorgeous menu with tasting option and market option. We had the market option which was delicious. We accompanied the meal with a glass of red and the cheese course with a glass of tawney port. The only thing to bring down the total scores was the plastic table decorations, they may last longer than real plants but they just don't cut the mustard in today's environmental conditions.

Fabulous food, both classic and inventive, perfectly thought through and executed. Lovely staff, polite, friendly and welcoming.

Beautiful experience at my first Michelin star restaurant. Service and atmosphere was lovely and food outstanding. Definitely be back

I had the 3-course lunch menu. Taste was phenomenal. The dishes were designed in a choreographed way, whichever starter or main you have chosen. Portion was just right for lunch, although I would love to have one more bite (when it was this good). Cocktail selection was wonderful, too. This is the sort of restaurant to come across my mind every time I want to eat out in Edinburgh.

Really great experience. Tasting menu was fantastic and they were very easily able to accommodate my gluten intolerance. Staff were very knowledgeable and welcoming.

Took our son and his best friends for his 21st birthday - exceptional meal, and the super friendly staff made us feel welcome and very well looked after. Tasting menus were brilliant, and ability to switch dishes in from the vegetarian tasting menu add extra flexibility. Great “destination” restaurant for Edinburgh (literally, for my wife, daughter and me, who were all up from London). Kudos to all.

The food was good, but for a Michelin star restaurant we felt there was a lot lacking. We tried the tasting menu and the best parts of the meal were the amuse-bouche at the beginning and the petit fours at the end. The middle courses were good, but nothing overly inventive or surprising. The real disappointment was the main course, which for our night was grouse. My piece had a thick piece of silver skin running through it that I could not cut through, as well as a particularly unappetising vein at one end. I just left it on my plate and ate everything around it. They never acknowledged it or asked me why I didn’t eat my main course, even when they cleared everything away, which I thought was quite strange for a restaurant that prides itself on service. And speaking of service, they were nice, but there were cracks - for example, when someone poured my water some spilled on the table, but this was never wiped up. Overall, if you’re going to have a Michelin star and a high price tag then the expectations of guests are going to be elevated, and disappointingly they just didn’t hit the mark for what this restaurant professes to be.

A lovely experience. My second visit after a 9 year gap. Faultless service and attentive staff. Food delicious. Would recommend.

Relative to the cost I’d say this was a bit of a let down. If this was a normal priced restaurant in town then it would be good. But for the Michelin Star and cost I expected the food to blow me away. The staff were lovely. The friendliest we have ever encountered.

We haven't been to MW since before the pandemic, and we are so happy we went back. From the minute you walk in there is a quiet elegance which is still warm and not stuffy. Wonderful service as always. Food fantastic, in particular the amuse bouche. Our favourite Michelin starred Edinburgh restaurant by far.

Been twice now, and both experiences were exceptional. The quality of food and service is excellent.

We treated my parents to lunch at Martin Wishart recently. It’s one of their favourites - we hadn’t dined there before, so it was nice to see what all the fuss was about! Staff were super friendly and very professional. The fit out of the restaurant is very nice and the use of mirrors give a great sense of space/airiness. 3 of us has the tasting menu and 1 of us had the vegetarian tasting menu. The food was excellent - fresh flavours and creative presentation. Not everyone loved the veal sweetbreads, but I thought they were delicious! I can definitely understand why this restaurant has a Michelin star. I can heartily recommend it - for a special occasion, or any other occasion for that matter!

Second time been there, tried the new menu. Good environment and food.

I like a restaurant with views if you’re going to be close to the next table. I can’t complain about anything, I was just not overly impressed.

Wir hatten zweimal das Tasting Menu - jeder Gang war individuell und ausgezeichnet, sowohl in der Präsentation als auch im Geschmack. Service war aufmerksam, freundlich und zurückhaltend gleichzeitig - perfekt. Und das, obwohl das Restaurant ausgebucht war. Einziger „Kritikpunkt“: die Geräuschkulisse ist relativ hoch

This place is truly special. The food was amazing, the service was fantastic. If you have a special occasion, I would highly recommend it.

Front of house staff were excellent. They were attentive. They knew the menu completely The were able to adjust to my views, whims and needs without a blink The food was amazing and adjusted my requests not on the menu without any issues I had grouse - one of my favourites It was the best I’ve tasted I’ll certainly be back and will definitely recommend to everyone Thank you to everyone working in the restaurant today for making it special and a lunch I’ll remember

Remek szervíz, kiváló ételek! Köszönjük!

We visited the restaurant on Saturday as we have done several times, for lunch. My husband had bought me a voucher so we never checked price beforehand. £115, excluding drinks is a MASSIVE hike in previous cost. Whilst I fully realise that times have changed, we visited first in 2020, the cost was £38.50 excuding drinks. We felt that around £75 would have been more appropriate. We enjoyed the experience as always but found the menu a bit "daring" given that there are only 2 choice for each course. Sweetbreads and snails were involved!!! Sadly, we won't be back.

Consistently fabulous. The vegetarian food here is the best I've had. We've been 4-5 times over the past few years and it never disappoints. Meat and seafood also done very well according to my other half.

Went for the lunch, rather than tasting menu so was pleasantly surprised to find that the amuse bouche (and bread) actually came with 6 or 7 different simple, but tasty, flavours for an immediate sense of variety to start. Somewhat more of a traditional vibe with lots of marble, very formal waiters (it took a few attempts to confirm that one amuse bouche was basically just a hash brown, rather than whatever convoluted name it was introduced as), mirrors and an ever so slightly colder feeling atmosphere. But the decor is still fresh and, importantly, comfy. Great service from the waiters who never let our water run dry, and were always on hand. However somewhat disappointing that after specifically asking for the return of the drinks menu once, it went missing again. Compounded by the inability to make a White Russian which I asked for, partially hoping one could be made and partially having had my drinks menu whisked away, so I had to guess! Perhaps the lack of White Russian was not such a bad thing, as when we got hot drinks after dessert, they were served with milk that was close enough to it's use by date that it curdled into lumps floating in the coffee! Having said that, a swift apology and replacements followed quickly, and I suppose it's not necessarily reasonably to expect everywhere to have a well stocked bar that can cater to White Russian cocktails, milk that is fresh and the hazelnut flavour I requested for the hot chocolate (it was still good, without) Food was faultless, with terrifically simple flavours (gespatcho, tappenade, tomato salsa, crusty bread etc.) to start and more complicated flavours for main (pork jowl) and to finish (chocolate opera cake)

I was just underwhelmed. I put this place on a pedestal and it didn't meet my expectations. The atmosphere was fairly sterile and it felt like I was in a retirement home. The food was presented beautifully and with quality ingredients but just didn't wow me. It lacked any sort of bold flavor and was more mild and subtle. I get the desire to present quality fresh ingredients but they just sort of melted together. We did the tasting menu and I only enjoyed maybe 3 out of the 7-8 things presented. The accompanying wines were great, and nice to see a variety. Overall Ive been more satisfied at other fine dining establishments for half the price. I left here feeling like it wasn't worth it.

Almost certainly the best restaurant in Edinburgh and thats against some very tough competition. The weekday lunch is outstanding good value for a restaurant at this level. The cuisine is very inventive and delights the palate. Wonderful for that special lunch.

Amazing restaurant for a special occasion. Staff are wonderful, great wine recommendations including a dessert wine to die for.. Talk you through each fabulous course. Couldn't fault a bite from the amuse bouche to the petit fours. Food is superb. Great atmosphere, not "arsey", real mix of diners. Looking forward to my next visit

simply amazing food and service

Fantastic guest service and appropriate meal portions. I highly recommend the Tasting Menu with matching wines. It was the perfect experience from start to finish! Will be back soon.

Absolutely amazing experience for the senses. It might be expensive, however well worth it. One fantastic experience is worth lots of mediocre ones. Save up and treat yourself.

My wife had a voucher for lunch for 2 that she got for her birthday. This was a fantastic lunch with the food and service utterly brilliant. The amouse bouche came in 2 courses and was spectacular. there was beetroot macaron filled with horseradish cream, gazpacho with burrata, a potato rosti topped with cream cheese and caviar, seaweed cracker with avacado and salmon and finished with a shot of orange, parsley and spinach juice. Wow. There them came fabulous bread with seaweed butter, tapanade and a warm tomato topping. We both had the terrine of pork knuckle and foie gras. great texture as well as flavour. For mains I had the stone bass with mussels topped with almond crumb in a light curry and leek sauce, it was magnificent. My wife had the confit duck leg with potatoes beans and peas, I obviously had a taste of it and can confirm that it too was delicious. For desert I had the chocolate mousse with raspberries and my wife had the lavender mousse with apricots. Apart from looking great they were both fabulous. Along with the service , which was first class, this was an overall magnificent experience.

Had a great evening here with the tasting menu. Particularly enjoyed the knowledge and enthusiasm that the servers demonstrated for the food and wines they were serving. Atmosphere is elegant, but convivial, not stuffy. The attention to detail in the food and service was notable, from the initial greeting at the door to the heartfelt farewell. Thank you!

Had a fantastic meal here,will definitely be returning soon!

We went for dinner at Martin Wishart last week, first time to a michelin star restaurant and the experience didn't really live up to what we were expecting. A fair bit of this came down to the service, with basic mistakes like: - the chair held open for the man instead of the lady upon arrival. - staff was pushy about pre-meal drink despite us choosing the wine pairing option, then didn't have the Martini we ordered (someone please nip to the shop and get a bottle of Martini!), they offered a replacement but only consulted one of us and rushed away without making sure the other person was also happy with the replacement offered. When finally I got my pre-meal drink I didn't even get the time to finish it, the wine pairing was already starting! - the risotto and scallop with truffle special was served with just fork, no knive to eat(?). - when asked what coffee we could order as part of the "coffee and petit fours" the waitress couldn't answer, told us to just say anything and she would go to check if it's fine(?). We still had very good food description by one member of staff and the sommelier also did a great job, he was very nice and knowledgeable, the wine pairing really worked and was definitely well worth it. The food was generally good but nothing really wowed us which is the biggest disappointment. The presentation was always very nice but quite a few dishes are things I cook often enough so I can tell it was cooked as expected but nothing really tasted like something incredibly good or worth the £450 we spent in the end. These £450 included also a gratuity of 12.5% which is a lot on a already high bill. I'm also disappointed as this means that, despite being michelin star, the restaurant is still not paying its staff more fairly than staff of the local pub. PS: there was a typo in the menu - mascarpone became 'mascpone' ;)

Simply stunning meal amazing staff excellent food and wine each dish of the 7 course tasting menu fantastic from start to finish with local seasonal ingredients cooked to perfection will return when next in Edinburgh

We had a fantastic time and a very memorable meals here. In many years, of of the best Michelin star dinners that surpassed some higher-rates restaurants for us.

The best of the best for both food and service. Just a perfect experience. We've been several times and are never disappointed. The food is perfect.

Another wonderful meal with excellent service. Fresh black truffle risotto with scallop and shaved truffle, superb. Whole meal exceptionally well cooked and presented, lovely flavour combinations and seasonal touches.

I have waited several weeks before writing this review because I wanted to be certain I was not being rushed along by the reputation. So the quick answer is that this restaurant is excellent. We chose from the set lunch menu and there was enough choice to keep the two of us happy. Fish choices very good and we paired them with an excellent Alsace white. The A' La Carte menu is pricey but looked wonderful as we watched courses being carried to other tables. Our food was well presented, perfectly timed and served with just the right amount of explanation. A word about the service. Attention to detail was incredible, I can't remember the last time I had this level of attention from staff. They managed to be helpful, efficient, understanding and knowledgeable without being condescending. Truly great service. Is there a down side. Yes, but it is minor. I am not a fan of modernist high design dining rooms. Perhaps this would have a better ambience had we dined in the evening. I am certainly going to give it a try to find out.

Amazing restaurant. We visited the Britannia nearby and walked over for dinner at Martin Wishart. We had the vegetarian tasting menu. Service was pleasant and exquisite. Made everyone feel comfortable without being fussy. Presentation was excellent, with taste and sophistication to match. Very unique dishes and fairly generous portions. Having been to numerous Michelin one star restaurants, this was among the best. Very memorable experience.

What an absolute excellent experience. This was my first Michelin star restaurant & it was even better than I imagined. Paul & his staff were right on point. My favorites were the seaweed butter, Orkney scallop, passion fruit dessert & coffee with petit fours.

Had the most fantastic meal here on our trip to Edinburgh. From start to finish, this was fine dining at it's best. I'd highly recommend this restaurant to friends.

My husband and I went for my birthday and all I can say it was absolutely amazing. The staff were so professional and explained everything to us as each dish was served. I cannot recommend this wonderful restaurant highly enough. Loved every minute x

This restaurant has fine dining appearance, crisp and clean. I was in a wheelchair, accompanied by a carer. I was surprised on making the reservation that I was able to change the date by one night after I had already made a reservation. My carer...

We had lunch here on Friday April 21. Excellent service, exquise foods, a Michelin star worthy. I can absolutely recommend this restaurant.

Excellent food and service. Knocking one star off for the rather ‘nouveau richer’ decor: it felt like we were dining in an airport lounge or a bland ‘modern’ hotel in the Lake District. Given the rich history surrounding the restaurant, there should be something more inspirational to draw upon.

Excellent menu, food was a delight on all accounts, with fantastic wine pairings from an accomplished sommelier, and a few extras in between! Was a pleasure to dine here for lunch. And will return again for the evening menu as soon as. Thanks!

Was given a gift of Lunch for 2 at the restaurant in Leith. Could not compliment the experience high enough. It was simply amazing. The service from entering was first class. Many thanks to Gregor, Manon and Patrick, who was great to renew a connection...

I had eaten a few times at Martin Wishart’s over the last few years and was excited to return with my two daughters (ages 11 and 14)first visit to a Michelin star restaurant.I had last been 3 or so years ago and the first thing...

3.5. A good experience - alright for a special occasion, but I expected better (in certain areas) for a restaurant that’s supposed to be one of the topmost in Scotland. Food is classic French, done by a Scottish chef and the restaurant has been around for several decades. The restaurant is small-ish, with simple decor; some tables are awkwardly arranged so asked to be moved. Service was cordial but lacking. I’d expect the waitstaff to give more background on the restaurant, the provenance of the food, and details on what we were eating - such details were not supplied. This changes the dining experience. Frustratingly, cups, cutlery and plates lingered on the table long after serving their purposes. Nobody was bussing. Things were cluttered. The restaurant arranged desserts in a delightfully ornate arrangement for a birthday … but they initially forgot about said birthday, and had to confiscate what we were eating before re-presenting. All in all, great food and a fun experience, but not super deserving of £600 for 3.

Fabulous food, professional and unobtrusive service

Excellent food and service, with a superb wine selection to compliment the food. The lamb main was a highlight from the meal.

Exceptional food. Halibut ceviche from Gigha, oh my goodness it was devine. Pairing food, wine and service together made it a very memorable evening. The whole team were quite frankly outstanding.

If you’re looking for somewhere special this is the place to go. Service is excellent and relaxed environment. Food is fantastic. If you’re considering it you won’t be sorry

Very nice restaurant, Chef very friendly. Lovely decor & fittings

We ate from the market menu with the wine pairing. Good first: service was generally attentive, food was very well presented and I liked the general feel of the restaurant. The veal starter was a particular high point of the menu for me. Less good:...

Visited Martin Wishart as we love fine dining experiences, and this did not disappoint. The beautifully presented dining room that had recently been refurbished after the January closure was a tad bright and we felt that dimming the lights slightly would have enhanced the ambience....

Food was superb and service excellent. A must in Edinburgh.

I have to say that the food was good with few dishes worthing the price but in average... Overpriced. The ambient is not what you expect from a Michelin star restaurant, furniture looks from IKEA... Actually it reminds me to Stansted Lounge. Also, the timing between dishes a bit long... We chose the Tasting menu and spent around 3h in the restaurant. In general, it does not worth spending 135£/p (drinks not included) and would not recommend to come.

To start with I would say the food is very nice and tasty, however £135/pax without any drinks is a bit pricey for what you got. We also expected a different experiencie for a Michelin star restaurant, the venue itself looks outdated,cold, grey, uncool... if we had to choosed based on the appeareance of the place we wouldnt have ever choosed it for the bill you are paying.

We made a last minute decision to come here for lunch after a forced cancellation elsewhere and it was a great decision. We had a very warm welcome from several pleasant staff members. We opted for the set lunch menu and were served several amuse...

Writing this review after dining at Martin Wishart ten months ago. Absolutely amazing food and service. My friend and I discovered this gem a day before and we both enjoyed every course. Definitely recommend it!

Stunning food in an incredible atmosphere. Absolutely loved the menu.

Overpriced for what was offered and served. Quality was reasonable but portions miniscule. Would not recommend or return.

10/10 for celebrating the special occasion! Have been to here once for the anniversary of me and my partner, and felt so worthy and happy.

Ten years ago we had the pleasure of celebrating our engagement at Martin’s restaurant The Honours which was a fantastic experience. We returned to Edinburgh for our 40th birthday celebration and felt it only right that we tried to recapture some of the magic from...

I really enjoyed the food here. I had the tasting menu and thought was well executed overall. Reason for four stars 1) halibut ceviche - I love the combination but the passion fruit gel overpowers the flavored which tips the balance 2) ravioli - nice and rich sauce, Al dente pasta but they couldn’t tell me what’s inside the ravioli 3) red cabbage with the deer is a bit too rich. Couldn’t finish it 4) while I love the dessert, the flavour combi works especially when you have a bite of everything. But the delicious maple pecan granola takes a lot of effort and pardon my etiquette while cutting into it And did I mention I love the kombu butter with the sour dough bread

We had an exceptional dinner tonight served by wonderful staff. The restaurant was warm and comfortable and very welcoming on such a cold winters night. Tables are well spaced out and it never felt like we were intruding on others conversations like some restaurants. We...

Food, service and decor are all outstanding. We had the tasting menu and it was all prepared with so much skill and quality. Every dish was sensational. The staff are friendly and warm, it’s a great place to enjoy a top class dining experience.

An absolutely fantastic meal. We tried the regular and vegetarian tasting menus, both were excellent with many of the best dishes coming from the vegetarian menu. This is the best fine dining in Edinburgh.

It is remarkable to step from the busy street into the contrasting calm of Martin Wishart’s restaurant at The Shore. Although not a huge room, the use of mirrors, blond wood and striking light fittings create a peaceful, ordered environment. Tables aren’t too close together...
