Two of Scotland’s casual eateries have made it into the much lauded Michelin Guide.
Two Scottish restaurants have been added to the prestigious Michelin Guide this month.
Edinburgh’s tipo and The Forager in Dollar are the latest additions to the Michelin Guide, garnering a stamp of approval from the industry tastemaker.
Both restaurants are on the casual end of dining. The Michelin Guide said the “relaxed and comfortable” tipo could become your next go-to eatery in New Town whilst The Forager was dubbed an “unfussy” pub that served food with care and attention.
Tipo’s “seriously good” pasta caught the eye of Michelin reviewers who lauded the restaurant for delivering “plenty of flavour and value for money”.
Named after the fine Italian ’00’ flour used to make pasta, the restaurant serves up a menu influenced by British, Mediterranean and Italian cuisines. However, the guide warned punters not to overlook its small plates, including the “wonderful” sea bass crudo.
Moving to the rural village of Clackmannanshire, the Michelin Guide hailed The Forager as a “warm, unfussy” pub.
Its local pub roots have not been lost after its stylish renovation, according to the inspectors, as pub classics – and more creative dishes – are still on the menu. Its dishes were praised for infusing “plenty of flavour” into good produce, all “brought to life” with due care and attention.
They join nine other restaurants in Guide Great Britain and Ireland selected as the Michelin inspector’s favourite new restaurants. The guide heralded the eateries for high quality cooking across a range of styles and budgets.
