Restaurant Martin Wishart

Frommer's Review

Despite a vaunted Michelin star and local awards, chef and owner Martin Wishart is the antithesis of the high-profile prima donna or loud-mouthed TV chef. One of Scotland's leading chefs, he takes his accolades in stride and strives to improve the quality of his high-price establishment in this now fashionable part of the Leith docklands. The decor is minimalist, featuring modern art. The menu, which changes frequently, is kept short and sweet, taking advantage of the best of the season; think John Dory with leeks, salsify, and mussel and almond gratin. If you're not on a budget, push the boat out -- as the Scots say -- and go for the tasting menu. Ask the sommelier to open a different wine to match each course. It costs a month's wages but is heavenly.
