La Garrigue is an authentic French restaurant with three venues across Edinburgh
21212
3 Royal Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5AB
A meal at 21212 is a memorable event, as much theatre as gourmet dining. Depart the Georgian reserve of Royal Terrace and enter rooms of sleek lines and sweeping furniture lit by a modern take on chandeliers that emphasise brain-teasing art. The…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
A meal at Tom Kitchin’s much-acclaimed restaurant offers a taste of his vivid imagination. Cocooned within a sophisticated, smoky-blue cave, it feels intentionally separated from the outside world. Expectations are high, and generally they’re swiftly…
Restaurant Martin Wishart
54 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
With a Cook School, a second Michelin star restaurant at Cameron House and a recently opened Edinburgh brasserie Martin Wishart could be forgiven for taking his eye off the ball at his signature Leith restaurant. Far from it. If anything Wishart is…
56 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA
The justly popular L’escargot Bleu generates an air of welcome as you enter the bright, airy rooms one flight up on Broughton Street. The buzz feels embracing rather than exclusive, as much coming from the patrons as the proprietors. Co-owners Betty…
The Honours
58a North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
There was little doubt that a brasserie developed under the keen eye of Martin Wishart, Edinburgh's advocate of French cuisine, was going to be something special. Taking over the Castle Street site once home to Tony's Table, Wishart’s team have turned…
La Garrigue
31 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DH
There are no cheesy photos of the Place du Tertre here. Paris does not even get a look in as old assured hand Jean Michel Gauffre instead delves south to the sun drenched Languedoc for serious regional cooking with an intoxicating Mediterranean swagger.
Café Marlayne
76 Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
Longevity is not something always associated with Edinburgh’s French restaurants. That Café Marlayne has stuck around for a decade is testament to its ability to consistently please an eclectic range of diners. Tucked just north of George Street the…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens,
Glasgow,
G12 0UX
It may have endured several makeovers, reinventions and name changes, but the restaurant of luxury hotel One Devonshire Gardens was always an elegant and memorable place to eat even when the kitchen wasn’t at its peak. Now with Darin Campbell returning…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
Trained in France, and having lead the Michelin-starred La Gavroche kitchen in London, one expects Mr Maule to conjure up truly accomplished dishes. And he does. Everything from the crisp white table cloths, black leather chairs to the sharply dressed…
Castle Terrace
33/35 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
It’s no mean feat to collect a Michelin star just over a year after opening. Nor is it Castle Terrace's only accolade. It’s hard to quibble with any of them. At every level, this relative newcomer excels. Chef Dominic Jack has a dexterity with flavours…
