A SCOTTISH restaurant has been newly added to the exclusive list of Michelin listed restaurants north of the Border.
Montrose, on Montrose Terrace in Edinburgh, was given the honour on Thursday.
In February, the Michelin Guide announced the eleven restaurants north of the Border that had earned a star in the previous year.
Montrose has not yet earned a star, but does feature in the exclusive guide.
Montrose is run by the same team as Edinburgh’s Timberyard, which was awarded a Michelin star in 2023 and repeated the feat in 2024.
Announcing the new listing, the guide said: “The team behind Michelin-Starred Timberyard, also in Edinburgh, are responsible for this recent opening where big, bold flavours reign supreme and quality produce is key.

“It’s split into a ground floor bar – where the knowledgeable team serve an interesting wine selection accompanied by small plates like oysters and charcuterie – and the upstairs restaurant, where a set four-course menu pushes seasonality to the fore.
“If you’re on a sightseeing tour of the city, then The Palace of Holyroodhouse is nearby.”
When The National reviewed Montrose in February, we found the restaurant "shows that seasonal ingredients are worth celebrating, and with a Timberyard-style twist, can make for fresh, modern dishes that are a joy to eat".
The eleven Scottish restaurants with Michelin stars are:
- Heron, Leith, One Star
- Cail Bruich, Glasgow, One Star
- Condita, Edinburgh, One Star
- Unalome by Graeme Cheevers, Glasgow, One Star
- Timberyard, Edinburgh, One Star
- The Kitchin, Leith, One Star
- Restaurant Martin Wishart, Leith, One Star
- Loch Bay Restaurant, Stein, One Star
- The Peat Inn, Fife, One Star
- Glenturret Lalique, Perthshire, Two Star
- Andrew Fairlie, Gleneagles Hotel, Auchterarder, Two Star
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
