Number One at The Balmoral Menu

Number One is the signature fine dining restaurant inside The Balmoral at 1 Princes Street in Edinburgh. The intimate room offers modern Scottish cooking with polished service in one of the city’s landmark hotels. Its four AA Rosettes reflect the restaurant’s attention to detail, while non residents can book it as a destination in its own right.

Head Chef John Munro and the kitchen build their menus around seasonal Scottish and British produce from trusted suppliers. Fish, shellfish, meat, game and vegetables are presented with modern technique and careful accompaniments. A five course set menu and a three course choice menu give diners either a guided progression or more control over the meal.

The selection changes as ingredients move through their seasons, so the experience is not tied to a permanent list of signature dishes. The team asks guests to provide dietary requirements in advance and can offer alternatives where possible. Private dining for up to ten guests creates a more secluded format for a special occasion.

Wine service is an important part of the meal, with pairings and individual bottles chosen to support the changing dishes. The smart surroundings encourage a sense of occasion, although the hotel recommends rather than enforces a formal dress code. Number One is best suited to diners seeking a measured, multi course expression of Scottish produce within the full hospitality of The Balmoral.
