'Big, bold flavours': New Scottish restaurant added to prestigious Michelin Guide
A SCOTTISH restaurant has been newly added to the exclusive list of Michelin listed restaurants north of the Border.
Montrose, on Montrose Terrace in Edinburgh, was given the honour on Thursday.
In February, the Michelin Guide announced the eleven restaurants north of the Border that had earned a star in the previous year.
Montrose has not yet earned a star, but does feature in the exclusive guide.
Montrose is run by the same team as Edinburgh’s Timberyard, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2023 and repeated the feat in 2024.
Announcing the new listing, the guide said: “The team behind Michelin-Starred Timberyard, also in Edinburgh, are responsible for this recent opening where big, bold flavours reign supreme and quality produce is key.

“It’s split into a ground floor bar – where the knowledgeable team serve an interesting wine selection accompanied by small plates like oysters and charcuterie – and the upstairs restaurant, where a set four-course menu pushes seasonality to the fore.
“If you’re on a sightseeing tour of the city, then The Palace of Holyroodhouse is nearby.”
When The National reviewed Montrose in February, we found the restaurant "shows that seasonal ingredients are worth celebrating, and with a Timberyard-style twist, can make for fresh, modern dishes that are a joy to eat".

Heron, Leith, One Star
Cail Bruich, Glasgow, One Star
Condita, Edinburgh, One Star
Unalome by Graeme Cheevers, Glasgow, One Star

The Kitchin, Leith, One Star
