Dunbar, Scottish Restaurant Guide

Mitchell Ramsay was just 21 when he took on ownership with his older sister, Alannah, of this wood-panelled harbourside fixture in April 2025; the siblings had worked in the kitchen under former owner Jack Findlay for two-and-a-half years, earning praise as “young chefs performing to a consistently high level”. Their cooking makes the most of the region’s larder and seafood in a menu of ‘modernised classics’.

Tom & Michaela Kitchin’s restaurant-with-rooms in the village of Gullane on Scotland’s East coast sits just a stone’s throw from Muirfield golf course, and a 30-minute drive from Edinburgh. All reports are complimentary without ever hitting any heights – viz. “great place to stay and a good restaurant, if you do stay the breakfast is spectacular”.
