The Good Food Guide, published by Waitrose, has today announced four entries from Edinburgh and nine new entries from all over Scotland in the 2015 edition of the Guide, which is published on 8th September. The Guide reflects the high standard of dining in Scotland, with a total of 103 restaurants, pubs and cafés from across Scotland included in the UK’s bestselling restaurant guide.

Scotland is also home to some of the longest-serving restaurants in the Good Food Guide⁽³⁾; Ubiquitous Chip in Glasgow has appeared in the guide for 43 years withAirds Hotel in Port Appin, Inverlochy Castle in Fort William and Ostlers Close in Cupar all appearing for over 30 years.

Elizabeth Carter, Consultant Editor of the Waitrose Good Food Guide, commented: ‘I really am impressed by the high standard of all Scottish restaurants in the Guide – the country seems to be a magnet for talented chefs. There may be a wealth of top restaurants, but particular acknowledgment must go to the new entries in the Good Food Guide 2015 – it’s great to see restaurants of the quality of Ninth Wave entering the Guide for the first time. Long may this continue.’
