HITLISTED RESTAURANTS
AWARD WINNERS WINNER The List Eating & Drinking Guide ‘Special Award’ for 2017 With breathtaking views over the waters of the Firth of Forth, 28 QUEEN STREET is the home of the Society in the heart of the city. Boasting over 200 whiskies as well as craft beers, fine wines and cocktails, the new KALEIDOSCOPE WHISKY BAR and Dining Room Restaurant are open to all, while exclusive Members’ Lounges are hosted on the upper floors.
NEWCOMERS OF THE YEAR NORN Freshly foraged, home-fermented, sharply seasonal, ultra-local – it’s all right on the zeitgeist, and happening at an unassuming Leith side street in the capable hands of Scott and Laura Smith. From the first mouthful of crusty homemade beremeal sourdough to the final sip of natural wine, Norn is razor-sharp, offering plenty of evidence that contemporary Scottish dining is on the move.

OSTARA There’s no doubt that this Leith corner is warm and welcoming and that the food produced offers hearty, wholesome hugs in a plate or bowl. But peer behind the counter at Ostara and you’ll find David McVey and Carey Morrison nurturing a community of customers and suppliers with quiet, steadfast commitment. Simple neighbourhood pleasures encapsulated.

NEW BAR OF THE YEAR GOOD BROTHERS WINE BAR Across the city’s wine lists terms like organic, biodynamic and natural are becoming common sights. But, until now, this movement has perhaps felt inaccessible to the casual bar-hopper. Step forward two wine-obsessed brothers, Rory and Graeme Sutherland. Their new wine bar in Stockbridge is a relaxed corner where an intelligently sourced and equally carefully priced list brings the best of the new techniques alive, supported by a simple menu.
