Restaurant Martin Wishart is a fine dining restaurant at 54 The Shore in Leith. Chef Martin Wishart’s cooking brings modern French technique to Scottish produce in a polished but personal setting. Its location beside the water and carefully paced service make it particularly suited to celebrations, business meals and occasions when the meal itself is the focus of the visit.
Current menus build courses around ingredients such as Scottish shellfish, fish, lamb and seasonal vegetables. Preparations can move from delicate seafood and ravioli to deeper meat dishes, with sauces, purées and garnishes used to develop each central ingredient rather than overwhelm it. The kitchen’s precision is most visible in the balance between classical foundations and clear, contemporary presentation.
Guests can choose from lunch, market and tasting formats, with dedicated vegetarian and vegan tasting menus also available. Because each sequence contains several detailed components, dietary requirements should be provided in advance so the restaurant can confirm what it can accommodate. The tasting format rewards diners who want to explore the kitchen’s full range rather than select a single main course.
An extensive wine list and optional pairings are designed to follow the progression of the food, while attentive service explains dishes without interrupting the table’s rhythm. The experience is formal enough to feel special but grounded in the character of its Leith setting. Restaurant Martin Wishart offers a considered expression of Scottish ingredients through a distinctly French culinary lens.
