The bestselling series of guide books have been published by French tyre company Michelin since 1900. The 2024 Michelin Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments, while it awards Bib Gourmands and recommends others.
Edinburgh now boasts five restaurants with Michelin stars – Condita, Restaurant Martin Wishart, The Kitchin, Heron and Timberyard – but a number of other eateries are recommended in the 2024 guide.
