what Edinburgh is known for

One set menu, built on Scottish produce.

Six kitchens on this card hold a Michelin Star, and three of them stand within a few streets of each other in Leith. Each writes one menu a night off what a named farm, forager or boat sent in that week, and the best of them tell you whose it was as they put the plate down. Lunch is the way in: Cardinal in Canonmills sells a GBP 25 market menu written off its own kitchen garden, against GBP 89 for the same kitchen at dinner.
