## About Restaurant Martin Wishart

Restaurant Martin Wishart is not chasing novelty, which is exactly why it still matters in Leith. The kitchen leans on French structure: clear stocks, fish cookery, precise vegetables, and desserts that value balance over sugar. Scottish produce gives the menu its weight, particularly lobster, scallops, and game when the season cooperates. It is a grown-up restaurant in the best sense, useful for diners who want skill rather than noise.

1. ★★★★☆ 4.0 Editorial sample The cooking is polished without feeling anonymous, especially when the kitchen leans into french detail instead of luxury for its own sake. It is expensive, but the service rhythm and wine advice made the longer menu feel measured. — Marco Bellini · 22 May 2026
2. ★★★★★ 5.0 Editorial sample Restaurant Martin Wishart feels completely anchored in Leith: the room, pacing, and seasonal tasting menu all make the meal feel specific rather than imported. The strongest courses had a clear point of view and enough restraint to avoid turning dinner into a demonstration. — James Chen · 14 March 2026
