About Restaurant Martin Wishart
A tasting menu dinner at Martin Wishart is the kind of evening that makes Edinburgh's other fine dining feel like a warm-up act. The kitchen works with imaginative French technique and seasonal Scottish produce — the Orkney scallop with ceps and the Scottish grouse are the dishes people are still talking about weeks later, and the langoustine ravioli draws equal praise for its precision. The tasting menu is the way to go, and the prestige wine pairing — available at half-size for half the price — is worth knowing about: the sommelier's guidance is specific and confident rather than performative. Petit fours and the cheese course round things out properly. The service team, Alessio among them, has a gift for reading the room and making a milestone feel genuinely marked rather than merely managed.
Restaurant Martin Wishart earns its romantic reputation through both atmosphere and a serious wines and cocktails — the kind of place where a dinner for two tends to extend well past dessert.
In the last 90 days, Restaurant Martin Wishart has drawn 6 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.

Tasting menu execution
Langoustine ravioli with paper-thin pastry, scallops, and Scottish lamb arrive as a balanced sequence where each course is calibrated not to overshadow the next.
Wine guidance
Sommelier offers full pairings, half-size pairings at half price, and glass selections—reviewers praise the prestige pairing specifically.
Service intuition
Staff anticipate pacing, guide diners through the menu in multiple languages, and treat both anniversary celebrations and weekday lunches with equal attentiveness.
