Chef Nico Simeone said: "Our Christmas is looking like a very different occasion this year, and with lockdowns and social restrictions in place, many face the prospect of missing out on festive celebrations with family, friends, colleagues and loved ones.

“Most of us are familiar with the classic Christmas lunch and all its trimmings but this festive season our team wanted to bring the magic of Christmas nostalgia to the plate with our 'Miracle On' menu.”

Open from midday, Monday through to Sunday, each six-course menu will be available from noon. The menu will be priced at £29 per person with the option to enjoy an expertly selected wine pairing for an additional £26 at each restaurant as long as restrictions allow.

'Miracle On' will run in Edinburgh from Monday December 3 until Sunday January 10 2021.
