A NEW Edinburgh restaurant from two of Scotland’s brightest hospitality stars – chef Brian Grigor and sommelier Glen Montgomery – eòrna* – has opened at 68 Hamilton Place in Stockbridge.

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 Brian retained the Michelin star at Edinburgh’s Number One for four years. Glen was recently named one of Harpers Wine and Spirit’s Top 25 Sommeliers 2023. They will oversee all aspects of the restaurant as a duo – 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 “chefs table” overlooking the kitchen, with Brian and Glen cooking and hosting. Diners will be served an ever-evolving tasting menu using the very best seasonal ingredients and classic old-world wines.
