9. Aizle
Aizle is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “ Menus allude to single ingredients rather than whole dishes, so expect an ambitious, highly seasonal journey into the unknown, with precise, technical skill and no small amount of theatre throughout.” | Good Food Guide
10. Eleanore
Eleanore is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “Expect a frequently changing menu that refines and develops dishes from the chefs’ time on the beachfront, with Asian-inspired ingredients and techniques combining with local, seasonal additions.” | Good Food Guide
11. Skua
Skua is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “Flickering candlelit interiors, black walls, marble tables, banquette seating and a hip, ambient soundtrack give the place a late-night drinking den vibe, while the pared-back menu is a carefully curated selection of small plates inspired by the seasons.” | Good Food Guide
12. The Little Chartroom
The Little Chartroom is located in Edinburgh, Lothians. The Good Food Guide says: “Mains are similarly praiseworthy. An eclectic two-part lamb dish (fillet and merguez sausage) showcases the delicious potential and variety of their nose-to-tail approach, while a perfectly cooked cod fillet, yielding and succulent with delicately crisp skin and shrimp butter, is very nearly upstaged by a small, flawless bowl of mash, adorned with a crown of brittle, saline seaweed.” | Good Food Guide
