Two restaurants in Scotland have been awarded Michelin stars following the unveiling of the 2023 Michelin Guide for Great Britain and Ireland.
Considered the most distinguished award in the food industry, Michelin stars are coveted by chefs and restaurant owners. According to the Michelin website, "one star is awarded to restaurants using top quality ingredients, where dishes with distinct flavours are prepared to a consistently high standard."
Both located in Edinburgh, the two newest Scottish restaurants to receive a coveted star are Heron and Timberyard. Heron is situated within the capital's picturesque Water of Leith and describes itself as a "relaxed fine dining restaurant". The Michelin Guide praised it for being "fresh, understated and uncluttered", as well as the "prepared, balanced, and delicious dishes".
