The ever-popular series of guide books have been published by French tyre company Michelin since 1900. The Guide awards up to three Michelin stars for excellence to a select few establishments, while it awards Bib Gourmands and recommends others.
There are now five Edinburgh restaurants with Michelin stars – Condita, Restaurant Martin Wishart, The Kitchin, Heron and Timberyard – but a number of others are recommended in the 2024 guide.
Take a look through our photo gallery to see every restaurant from Edinburgh and the Lothians to feature in the Michelin Guide 2024 – and find out what critics had to say about them.
