How much will it cost to eat at Scotland's Michelin starred restaurants

Scotland's culinary scene is something we should be rightly proud of, and 2022 has already welcomed two new Michelin stars.

This year's Michelin Guide GB & Ireland, which was published online this week, has seen Mark Donald, who runs the Glenturret Lalique in Crieff, and Graeme Cheevers at Unalome in Glasgow, both added for the first time.

The new entries take Scotland's total to 10 restaurants with one or more Michelin stars.

It's great news not only for the winning chef but also for Scotland's burgeoning restaurant industry which has been struggling in the wake of the pandemic, but also the people across Scotland who get to enjoy dining at them.

But how much will dining in one of the country's top-rated restaurants set you back? We thought we'd take a look.

Restaurant Andrew Fairlie (Two Stars), Gleneagles

The only Scottish restaurant to have two Michelin Stars, the late, great Andrew Fairlie's restaurant at Gleneagles is one of Scotland's most renowned and will set you back £155 for the Menu Dégustation (tasting menu) – £250 if you pair it with wines.

Expect truly once in a lifetime dishes such as Andrew's signature Home Smoked Scottish Lobster dish.

Unalome by Graeme Cheevers (new addition), Glasgow

Unalome is acclaimed Scottish chef Graeme Cheevers' first solo venture and only the second restaurant in Glasgow to win a star in almost 20 years.

To enjoy the tasting menu here, which features dishes like North Sea Turbot and Roasted Orkney Scallops, it will cost you £90 per person, with a separate wine flight costing £70 per person.

Cail Bruich, Glasgow

Last year, head chef Lorna McNee was delighted to learn that not only had her restaurant Cail Bruich received a star but also that she was now the first female chef to have been awarded one in the city.

It's the first time a venue in the city has earned the coveted award after Gordon Ramsay's Amaryllis, which was the last one to hold one, closed in 2004.

The 5 course tasting menu here will cost you £80 and features delicious dishes like Gigha Halibut and Highland Roe Deer.

Condita, Edinburgh

Chef Conor Toomey's popular restaurant in the capital was praised for its quality ingredients and top service.

Keeping his cards close to his chest, Conor offers an exclusive surprise tasting menu costing £110 per person and paired with wines for an extra £65.

Kitchin, Edinburgh

Top Scottish chef Tom Kitchin's flagship eatery in Leith uses only the finest Scottish ingredients to create exciting French cuisine inspired dishes that have impressed everyone from celebrities to the Michelin judges themselves.

To eat here you can expect to pay £120 per person for a Surprise Tasting Menu featuring Tom's brilliant ‘From Nature to Plate’ dishes.

Martin Wishart, Edinburgh

Another of Scotland's best-known chefs, Martin Wishart's eponymous restaurant in Leith has become one of the country's most renowned places to eat.

Martin's exquisite tasting menu is filled with dishes like veal sweetbread and langoustine and comes in at £115 per person (or £180 with wine pairing).

The Peat Inn, Cupar

Worth travelling to Skye alone for, the price of their stunning Fruits De Mer menu is £120 per person.

The Glenturret Lalique, Crieff

Found within the grounds of Scotland's oldest working whisky distillery in Perthshire, this restaurant is as luxurious as the glassmaker that gives it its name. Only opened seven months, chef Mark Donald has helped it to win a Michelin star.

The Michelin team said: "The precisely crafted, modern dishes have a clean, delicate look and great depth of flavour, and many are finished at the table."

Priced at £125 per person, the menu here is filled with unique dishes such as the Spoots (Scottish razor clams) & Rausu Kombu Tart and the Tattie Scone with Winter Truffle and Baerii Platinum Caviar.
