"Restaurant Martin Wishart can be found at The Shore serving up all sorts of delights. They do a £35 lunch menu along with six and eight-course taster menus which set you back a little more. Among the options on the lunch menu are braised pork cheek with cauliflower cream, brown shrimp, curry and sauternes sauce and roast fillet of gigha halibut with creamy endive, Fontina Arancini and truffle sauce."

The garnish, of course, is the knock-out ambience and attention to detail."

"Based in Leith and run by famed chef Tim Kitchin, The Kitchin opened in 2006 and claimed its Michelin star in 2007.
