The food bible has been published by French tyre company Michelin since way back in 1900. The 2025 Michelin Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments, while it awards Bib Gourmands and recommends others.
Following the big announcement in February, Edinburgh now has seven one-Michelin-star restaurants – more than any other city in Scotland – but a number of other eateries are recommended in the 2025 guide.
Scroll through our photo gallery to see every restaurant from Edinburgh and the Lothians to feature in the Michelin Guide 2025 – and find out what the publication’s critics say about them.
