KIN by Gary Maclean is a modern Scottish restaurant at The Roseate Edinburgh, in the city's West End. Led by Gary Maclean — Scotland's First National Chef and a winner of MasterChef: The Professionals — the 42-cover dining room is built on provenance, seasonality and a deep respect for Scotland's natural larder.
Menus follow the coast and the countryside, from Tobermory smoked trout and hand-picked crab to dry-aged beef and halibut, alongside slow-cooked seasonal vegetables. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, with a considered selection of Scottish single malts, signature cocktails and wines chosen to match the season and the plate.
Confident, unhurried and warm. You're home. You're family. You're KIN.
