8 tasting menu rooms in Edinburgh we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Edinburgh | Tasting Menu across every city.
The tasting menu is where Edinburgh's most ambitious kitchens concentrate, working a no-choice market-driven format. Timberyard in Tollcross and Heron on the Leith waterfront sit near the top of the field, alongside Lyla, also in Leith. Condita in Marchmont and the two Stockbridge rooms, Avery and Purslane, show how widely the format has spread across the city.
