KIN by Gary Maclean celebrates the very best of modern Scottish cuisine, combining exceptional local produce with elegant surroundings at The Roseate Hotel Edinburgh. Led by Scotland’s first National Chef and MasterChef: The Professionals winner Gary Maclean, the restaurant showcases seasonal cooking rooted in provenance, allowing outstanding Scottish ingredients and honest flavours to take centre stage.
The decor at KIN pairs calm, contemporary interiors with timeless elegance. Wooden tables, soft lighting, blue velvet chairs, textured booth seating and traditional wall mouldings create a welcoming dining room, while large windows fill the space with natural light. During warmer months, guests can also dine in The Roseate Garden, a beautifully landscaped outdoor space with its own wooden bar, making it an idyllic spot for alfresco lunches, afternoon tea or relaxed summer evenings.
The KIN by Gary Maclean menus champion carefully sourced produce from some of Scotland’s finest suppliers, including Tobermory Fish Company and Smokehouse and St Bride’s Farm. Dinner features dishes such as haggis, neeps and tatties, Cullen skink, hand-dived scallops and charred asparagus with beremeal bannock, followed by mains including St Bride’s chicken, roast Scrabster cod with curried mussel broth, grilled langoustine and pork belly with poached egg and chive hollandaise. Desserts continue the celebration of Scottish flavours with dark chocolate, Glenmorangie and orange fondant, Harris Gin and red berry custard tart and shortbread with apple and heather honey.
Earlier in the day, breakfast showcases fresh pastries, homemade porridge, Highland smoked salmon, Orkney kippers and eggs from local farms, while afternoon tea is available in traditional, vegan and gluten-free versions with finger sandwiches, chef’s special scones and handmade pastries. The drinks menu, meanwhile, includes carefully selected local whiskies, Scottish-inspired cocktails such as the Kinship, West End Sour, Thistle and Thorn and Black Stag, alongside wines from around the world and a range of alcohol-free cocktails.
