Two of Scotland’s “brightest hospitality stars” are to open a new venture in the Scottish capital.
Eorna, by chef Brian Grigor and sommelier Glen Montgomery, will open on Hamilton Place in Stockbridge this spring.
The firm said the pair have a “wealth of experience” gathered from some of Scotland’s finest restaurants including two Michelin star Restaurant Andrew Fairlie, working with Michel Roux Jnr and Mr Grigor retained the Michelin star at Edinburgh’s Number One for four years.
“They will oversee all aspects of the restaurant as a duo,” a spokesperson said. “There will be no other chefs or front of house staff creating a pared back, intimate, yet sophisticated dining experience.”
The focus of the restaurant is a 12-cover countertop “chef’s table” overlooking the kitchen, with Mr Grigor and Mr Montgomery cooking and hosting.
“Diners will be served an ever-evolving tasting menu using the very best seasonal ingredients and classic old-world wines”, the spokesperson for Eorna, which is Gaelic for barley, said.
A sample menu includes Mull cheddar mousse, quince and hazelnut, Belhaven smoked salmon, lemon puree, quail’s egg and caviar, hand-dived Orkney scallop, oyster leaf and burnt apple, loin of roe deer, salt-baked celeriac, and sauce, rhubarb and custard and toasted barley ice-cream.
