5. Kora by Tom Kitchin
Kora by Tom Kitchin is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “Opened in 2018, then forced to close during the pandemic, this re-born bar and dining room is, arguably, even better than ever. It's the sort of neighbourhood bistro that suits once-a-week locals as well as customers coming from further afield.” | Good Food Guide
6. Timberyard
Timberyard is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “ Rusticity and refinement sit in perfect balance with the joyous celebration of flavours and a messianic elevation of honest ingredients, both foraged and from artisan producers.” | Good Food Guide
7. Number One
Number One is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “In a city with a vibrant farm-to-fork and supper club scene, Number One oozes olde-worlde opulence. Descending from the entrance on Princes Street, the restaurant (all red lacquered walls, well-spaced tables and elegant banquettes) is sumptuous without feeling stuffy.” | Good Food Guide
8. The Palmerston
The Palmerston is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “The place opens at 9am for coffee and pastries, to encourage a little constructive dawdling on the way to work, but full services introduce a neat, seasonal menu of up-to-the-minute, Med-oriented bistro dishes with a strong backbone of pedigree regional supplies.” | Good Food Guide
