5. The Spence
The guide said: “All the grandeur is here, from the granite columns and the exquisite plasterwork to the magnificent cupola which allows natural light to flood in. The Scottish larder is the focus of the accessible menu, with the kitchen showing a keen eye for presentation.” The Spence is located in St Andrew Square Photo: Third Party
6. Timberyard
Located on Lady Lawson Street, the guide said Timberyard has a ‘culinary ethos that centres around the local, the seasonal and letting the produce speak for itself.’ It adds: “It takes a lot of skill and no little ability to take just a few prime ingredients and fashion dishes that are so well defined and satisfying.” Photo: Third Party
7. Noto
This Thistle Street restaurant offers ‘well-conceived dishes at sensible prices that are ideal for sharing.’ The Michelin Guide said: “The culinary influences span the globe, with a particular focus on a range of Asian cuisines, be that through duck bao buns or a luscious chocolate and miso dessert.” Photo: Third Party
8. Cardinal
The Stockbridge restaurant ‘has become a real destination for Edinburgh's foodies.’ The guide said: “The set menu takes a modern, sometimes creative approach to produce from both land and sea – be it Carlingford oysters or lamb rump wrapped in kelp – with preservation techniques often playing their part.” Photo: Third Party
