Best Dinner Places to Eat in Loch Leven

"This multi award-winning restaurant is located in the historic port of Leith area of Edinburgh. Opened in 1999 by Martin Wishart, an award-winning chef and restaurateur, it was the very first restaurant in Edinburgh to receive a Michelin Star in 2001. With fresh flowers on tables and gentle glowing lighting, it certainly won’t disappoint with the romantic aspect."

"Restaurant Martin Wishart, Edinburgh|Courtesy of Restaurant Martin Wishart. Edinburgh local Martin Wishart trained under great French masters such as the Roux brothers in his youth. Returning to his home city from France, he was seen as something of a young Turk when he set up a restaurant in the run-down port of Leith in 1999."

"What: ‘From nature to plate’ is the mantra of chef Tom Kitchin, and it’s a philosophy that you can see everywhere in his restaurant in Leith, The Kitchin. Natural materials such as slate and wood complemented by fabrics in cool blues and greys create a calming atmosphere for cooking that uses seasonal ingredients from regional growers, producers and fishermen. North Sea wild halibut, smoked to order on oak chips and served with parsley purée and horseradish cream potatoes, gives an idea of the level of accomplishment on offer."

"Based near the Shore of Leith, this Michelin star restaurant offers up an authentic Scottish feel with a few modern twists. During your meal you will be presented with a map showing where all the produce has come from, giving an opportunity to learn a little Scottish geography as you eat. The Kitchin gives diners a glass view into the Kitchen - and if you’re booked in on a lucky day, you might be able to catch a glimpse of Tom Kitchin himself preparing meals."

"The Kitchin Restaurant Address: 78 Commercial Quay, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland EH6 6LX, Scotland. The Kitchin Telephone+44 (0)131 5551755. Located in a smartly converted whisky warehouse – providing the perfect setting for Tom Kitchin’s home-city restaurant – the food  and drink scene in Leith is one of the most exciting in Edinburgh – and where the Royal Yacht Britannia is permanently berthed."

"Possibly one of the most Instagrammable brunch spots in the city, Hula Juice Bar is Edinburgh’s first ever juice bar and healthy eatery designed to feel like an “island in the city”. With its bright interiors and even brighter smoothies, it really does feel like you’ve stepped right into a resort in Bali!. Hula’s dynamic menu offers a whole host of fresh, healthy treats: smoothie bowls topped with fruit and granola, poke bowls filled with grains, beans and veg, and some of the best avo toast around."

"We didn’t know much about Scottish cuisine, except for Haggis and whisky we couldn’t actually think of anything specific. Imagine our surprise when we discovered the plethora of vegetarian and vegan dining options Edinburgh has to offer!. It must be one of the most vegetarian/vegan friendly cities we’ve come across during our travels so far."

"This café is part of a volunteer-run events space that contains a performance and workshop programme. They serve vegetarian treats and meals and offer a genuine “human connection” according to reviews on TripAdvisor."

"Perth’s BrewDog located in George Street is now open for business. They have kept us filled up over lockdown with their BrewDog Now which is a deliver/ click and collect service for your favourite beers and snacks (genius, right?). However, we can now gladly say that the bar, equipped with outdoor seating, is open and the friendly team can’t wait to welcome you all in."

"Beers spirits and wines for collection or delivery from staff on hop drop app!. Also bottling draft beer. Phone: 01738627756 | Website"

"On our way back to the centre, we found ourselves walking along the interminably long Leith Walk – which is a straight road several miles long. It was a hot day, our bag was heavy, we hadn’t slept well thanks to our horror show of an Airbnb… we needed perking up. A quick scan of Google Maps and my general research into good coffee points led us to OQO."
