Welcome

In the Roseate, a Victorian townhouse hotel in the West End a short walk from Haymarket station, Kin is a small restaurant of just 42 covers, led by Gary Maclean, who became Scotland's first National Chef.

The cooking is modern Scottish and changes with the seasons: smoked trout and Scottish seafood, crisp haggis croquettes, dry-aged beef and halibut, with Scottish spirits to go alongside. The dining room is calm and elegant, with tall windows, plasterwork, deep blue chairs and soft lamps on the tables, and a bar of bottles glowing at one end.

Kin serves lunch and dinner every day, and the hotel serves breakfast and afternoon tea too. Tables can be booked on its own page.
