How this list is chosen: Restaurants holding Michelin stars, listed alphabetically. Updated October 8, 2026.
AVERY
1 Michelin star
A San Francisco transplant that earned a Michelin star within Edinburgh's Georgian quarter, AVERY operates from a Stockbridge townhouse on St Stephen Street, running Tuesday through Saturday evenings. The kitchen applies Californian lightness to Scottish produce, Orkney scallops paired with pineapple jus, while a drinks flight spanning wine, sake, sherry, and single malt whisky sets the pace of a meal designed to be followed rather than rushed.
Condita
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred former shop unit on a quiet Salisbury Place side street, Condita operates six tables and a fully surprise menu that changes with the seasons. Since opening in 2018, it has built a reputation for technically considered cooking that draws on Scottish produce, foraging, and occasional Asian inflections. The wine list goes deep on a small selection of producers rather than wide across regions.
LYLA
1 Michelin star
Set inside a Georgian townhouse on Royal Terrace, LYLA is Edinburgh's most architecturally considered tasting menu restaurant. Chef-patron Stuart Ralston's 10-course seafood-led format occupies the site of the late Paul Kitching's 21212, and multiple critical sources place it among Scotland's most technically accomplished dining rooms. Overnight rooms are available for those who want to extend the evening.
Martin Wishart
1 Michelin star
On Leith's regenerated waterfront since 2001, Martin Wishart holds a Michelin star and La Liste recognition for its disciplined pairing of Scottish seasonal produce with classical French technique. The dining room on Shore Street is composed and unhurried, the wine list one of Edinburgh's most considered, and the cooking, grouse, Orkney scallops, halibut from Scottish waters, delivers on every promise it makes.
The Kitchin
1 Michelin star · Deep wine list
A Michelin-starred fixture in Leith's converted whisky warehouse district since 2006, The Kitchin applies classical French technique to rigorously seasonal Scottish produce. The three-course lunch at £69 per person makes it one of Edinburgh's more accessible fine-dining propositions; dinner scales to £130 à la carte or £165 for the Surprise Tasting Menu. Ranked among Europe's top 500 restaurants by Opinionated About Dining in 2025.
Timberyard
1 Michelin star
A Michelin-starred warehouse conversion on Lady Lawson Street, Timberyard pitches local and foraged produce against Nordic-inflected technique across five and seven-course evening menus. The Radford family's venue holds a 2024 Michelin star, an OAD European Top 300 ranking, and a wine list weighted toward natural and low-intervention producers. Wednesday to Sunday service; book well ahead for weekend evenings.
