Tuk Tuk Indian Street Food has opened its doors to a second Edinburgh site, on Drummond Street, in the heart of the city’s Old Town. Known for its lively atmosphere and playful interiors, the new restaurant will offer an authentic selection of small plates inspired by the bold and punchy flavours of popular Indian railway station and roadside dishes.

Drummond Street is the third addition to the already successful Tollcross (Edinburgh) and Sauchiehall Street (Glasgow) restaurants. The 90-cover restaurant which features a 35-cover group dining space is perfect for social dining with friends and family of any size or occasion. With a particular focus on vegetarian and vegan dishes across the menu, hero dishes include; Bun Samosa, Saag Tofu and beetroot Bhajis alongside the much-loved signature Wallah Staff Curry, Chicken Lollipops and Puri Yoghurt Bombs.

Owner, Rizvi Khaleque said: ‘I’m so proud to be opening a third Tuk Tuk. The last few years have been a rollercoaster in the hospitality industry, so this feels like a particularly special achievement. We’re excited to open our doors for customers to enjoy our authentic menu filled with flavour and spice and soak up the lively atmosphere.’

Working closely with award-winning Edinburgh design agency S+Co, the space has been configured to create a sociable dining room full of personality with the brand’s bright and bold oranges and greens. Recycled materials are at the heart of the restaurant; off-cut British timber waste has been used to create the tabletops and the statement bar has been designed using Kenoteq’s K-Briq made up of over 90% recycled construction and demolition waste and recycled pigments. The signature Tuk Tuk orange is a focus on the biggest of three hand-painted murals across the walls. Bollywood film stars are cut out across the venue with a neon sign designed by Solas Neon in the window to welcome diners.

The BYOB all-day dining experience will offer authentic lunchtime Tiffin lunch boxes for those on the go between 12pm-4pm and a sociable sharing-style menu will be available in the evening menu from 12pm-10pm.

Tuk Tuk has committed to adding a discretionary fee of 50p per table to all bills which goes directly to their partner charity, Scottish Love in Action (SLA). SLA is a charity that provides meals to vulnerable children in India and so far, the restaurants collectively have raised over £26,000 which equates to 119,845 meals.

MacMillan Spirits has launched its inaugural trio of spirits inspired by its home in the Outer Hebrides. The new independent bottler, owned by Uist locals and father and son, Angus A MacMillan and Angus E MacMillan, celebrates the Scottish islands, its community and heritage. 

The duo are also behind Benbecula Distillery which is currently under construction on the Island and looks to pay homage to the island’s rich maritime heritage. Angus A Macmillan has spent his life at the centre of the Outer Hebrides community and is one of the founding directors behind the historic community buyout in 2006.

The liquids include Wheelhouse Whisky, an eight year old single cask single malt produced on Islay;  Machair Gin, a herbaceous, aromatic gin which contains heather and wild angelica botanicals which are harvested on Angus’ Uist croft; and Molucca Rum, an eight year old golden rum. Each liquid was carefully selected by Angus and his team for their flavourful characteristics representing aspects of Uist.

Angus A MacMillan, Managing Director of MacMillan Spirits, said: 

“As a proud islander, I wanted to bring together flavours and stories inspired by the Outer Hebrides to MacMillan Spirits. Wheelhouse Whisky, Machair Gin and Molucca Rum each have their own story but Molucca Rum is my personal favourite. 

“It’s inspired by Martin Martin’s 1703 book A Description of the Western Isles of Scotland, which talks about finding Molucca beans, sometimes known as sea hearts, on the Western Isles. Molucca Beans are smooth seeds from the warri tree, which wash up on our Hebridean beaches having been carried on the Gulf Stream from the Caribbean. We find these heart-shaped seeds hidden in the sand and tangled in the seaweed: a smooth, shiny seed the size of your palm – like a heart-shaped pebble but light as a husk. It’s such a special link with Scotland and the Caribbean.

“This initial collection is just the beginning of our plans for creating a family of spirits that embodies our small island home and celebrates our slow, natural craft.”

Jamie MacDonald, Business Development Manager for MacMillan Spirits, added:

“We’ve created a series of signature serves for Wheelhouse Whisky, Machair Gin and Molucca Rum which allow drinkers to fully explore the depth of favour in each unique liquid. For our Machair Gin, we’ve created our own version of the classic Martini inspired by its name. Machair is a strip of low-lying fertile land that was grazed by the small herds of the Hebridean crofters over the summer months. It’s an entirely unique habitat that clings to the Hebridean coastline and is home to beautiful and rare flowers which are used in the gin.

“In our Martini we use Penja Pepper Berry Cordial, Vermouth and garnish with candied angelica to reflect the foraged botanicals, wild angelica root and island heathers used in the gin.”

Each label features original, specially commissioned artwork by Minneapolis-based artist, Nick Dahlen. Further information on Nick Dahlen is available here.

MATTO Pizza that launched in September 2020 will launch a restaurant in the south side of the city mid-December.

One of Edinburgh’s most popular pizzerias is set to open its first restaurant in the city’s Morningside neighbourhood this December. MATTO pizza currently delivers up to 600 pizzas a night from its giant city centre pizza oven to Edinburgh’s pizza-loving population, but this will be the brand’s first dedicated diner.

The new pizzeria at 370-372 Morningside Road, will serve a selection of MATTO’S popular Neapolitan-style pizzas and authentic Italian starters and desserts that have led it to be crowned one of Edinburgh’s top takeaways on Deliveroo and UberEATS.

MATTO has become a firm favourite amongst city centre residents for its unique take on the classic Neapolitan pizza. MATTO uses a state-of-the-art wood-fired oven that cooks the pizzas in 60 seconds and uses a long, slow rise dough made with premium 00 Italian flour. Their pizzaiolos create all pizzas from scratch using only the best ingredients including, San Marzano tomatoes DOP and Fior di Latte Mozzarella as standard. They are also renowned for their creativity and the new Morningside menu will feature firm favourites including their Truffle base pizza with smoked cheese, mushrooms and rocket and Pumpkin base pizza with ‘Nduja, gorgonzola, pumpkin seeds and fresh basil; and new additions such as Pea purée base pizza with smoked speck, gorgonzola, mozzarella, figs, rocket and balsamic glaze drizzle.

The 42-seater restaurant has been designed by Edinburgh based, S-SO. They created a dynamic and engaging space to bring MATTO’S unique character to life and showcase its innovative approach to pizza. The aim is to take customers on a journey in true theatrical Neapolitan-style.  The dining space incorporates bold prints and bright colour for a dramatic effect. Guests can expect big and bold including a show stopping pizza oven taking centre stage with the design details as its cast. S-SO created different areas within the space providing more intimate dining for smaller groups, as well as larger seating areas perfect for large groups to share a slice with friends.

Co-owner Nel from MATTO Pizza, said:

“We are really excited to be opening a restaurant in Morningside. When we launched MATTO, our vision was to create authentic Neapolitan-style pizzas that were a little different but with absolutely no compromise on the quality of the ingredients. It has been a labour of love from day one and to expand so quickly, we feel incredibly lucky. It would not have been possible without the support of our loyal customers.

We hope to welcome old and new customers to the new restaurant, so we can showcase MATTO’S creativity and hospitality”.

MATTO Pizza is due to open mid-December.

A new bakery, café and events space named Baern, will open at Fife’s food and drink hub, Bowhouse, in spring 2022 with visitors to this month’s Christmas Market Weekend, given the opportunity to try some of the food out for the first time.

Hazel Powell and Giacomo Pesce will open Baern in March in the striking café and courtyard area of Bowhouse offering hyper seasonal, producer-led, locally sourced food and homemade drinks. The ever-changing menu will be directly influenced by the producers within the Bowhouse, as well as the surrounding area, showcasing the incredible produce the region has to offer.

A daytime menu will run Thursday to Sunday and will be based around sourdough bread, sweet and savoury pastry and a plated brunch/lunch menu. An evening menu will run for special events and will focus on a more refined small plate offering. The pair will also offer a deli selection to take away and homemade soft drinks, with everything focused on locally sourced and foraged ingredients.

Pop up suppers and visits from guest chefs also form a part in the plans, with the upstairs area ideally suited to hands-on food workshops and group activities. Baern’s events will introduce the community to some of the diverse network of chefs, producers, and suppliers who are helping to shape Scotland’s food landscape.

Visitors to the forthcoming Christmas Market Weekend at Bowhouse on 11^th and 12^th December, will have the chance to meet Hazel and Giacomo who will have a stand at the market, selling freshly baked breads, scones, pasties, pies and cookies. The menu at the weekend includes a menu of sourdough focaccias with Rosemary oil, white wine; Nduja, fennel seed and garlic honey; or New potato, purple sage and grape. There will also be scones made with Isle of Mull cheddar and burnt onion skin served with apple butter; Pork, harissa, sage and chestnut sausage rolls; Butternut Squash, chestnut mushroom and burnt lemon pasties; Almond and brown butter mince pies; and Rye, dark chocolate and sourdough cookies.

Hazel and Giacomo join a line-up of food producers and street food traders from Fife and beyond, as well as a carefully curated selection of craftspeople at this seasonal event.

Hazel and Giacomo are moving to Fife from The Secret Herb Garden Café & Bistro (Edinburgh), where they’ve honed their skills baking and using the produce grown on their doorstep. One of the only bakeries in Scotland to operate a true wood fired oven, sourdough baking will be central to Baern’s food, alongside dishes using ingredients produced locally, particularly by those makers based at Bowhouse: Scotland the Bread flours from the mill next door, organic beers and spirits from Futtle, meats from the butchery and organic vegetables from the field just behind the café.

The pair have worked across a number of restaurants and bakeries over the years:

Hazel trained at the Ballymaloe Cookery School in Ireland before going on to cook and teach at Ballintaggart in Perthshire. She then went on to be Head Chef at Fhior Garden Café, where she has been showcasing her love of vegetables through the amazing produce available in the gardens every day. Drawing from her experience as a chef and educator, as well her background in Fine Art, she will be the driving force in the kitchen at Baern, leading by example, promoting local suppliers and produce through her cooking.

Formerly a scientist, Giacomo is now a chef and baker with a particular interest in sourdough and all things flour. Previously in charge of the pastry section at Fhior, he developed his bread skills at Twelve Triangles before joining Hazel at Fhior Garden Cafe. His love for experimenting and for pushing the boundaries between classic and modern flavour is a key factor in the unique approach to food which characterise Baern’s approach.

Hazel Powell said:

“Giacomo and I cannot wait to open Baern at the Bowhouse. We’re both really passionate about Scottish produce, sustainability and supporting small producers, so we really couldn’t be in a better location, or in better company. We can’t wait to join this incredible community of food in Fife.”

Baern is named for the café’s barn location with a nod to the ancient Scottish grain, beremeal.

Those shopping for local food and drink can also make use of the Bowhouse Link weekly online market on the Open Food Network, which enables customers to continue shopping from local makers for pick up at Bowhouse or local delivery. Customers can shop Monday to Wednesday from a range of selected producers. Orders are then packed for delivery or pick up at the market on the Saturday and Sunday.  Visitors to the Market Weekends can use the Bowhouse Link service to pre-order before browsing the market stalls.

Based on Balcaskie Estate, Bowhouse opened in 2017 to provide the missing link between farm and fork, with a mission to connect maker with consumer.

In just two years, she won a Michelin star to add to her already decorated career. From winning Scottish Chef of the Year (2017), BBC’s Great British Menu (2019), and being crowned the show’s ‘Champion of Champions’ Lorna has never been afraid to take on a challenge and explore an innovative yet elegant style of cooking.

 In 2021 Lorna was also named one of Observer Food Monthly’s “Stars of the future”, one of the 100 most influential women in hospitality by Code Hospitality, was shortlisted for a GQ Food and Drink Award and Square Meal’s Female Chef of The Year.

Killiecrankie House, in the heart of Highland Perthshire, has opened this month with a new restaurant and five beautifully appointed bedrooms as well as a drawing room and cocktail bar. Owners, chef Tom Tsappis and his sommelier wife Matilda will welcome guests to experience their little slice of luxury and gastronomy in the Cairngorm National Park.

Tom, who trained at Leiths and was the first recipient of two of its coveted annual awards and his wife Matilda, who previously ran the popular supper club Elia London, have created a boutique bolthole that’s been designed by them as a food-lovers retreat. Tom will be overseeing the multi-course tasting menu in the 18-cover open restaurant kitchen, and at the adjacent chefs table which is at the heart of the house. Sommelier Matilda will host guests front of house with help from the chefs who’ve created the dishes.

They have committed to creating menus that truly reflect Scotland, giving diners not only a taste of the country’s produce but one that represents what Scots really love to eat, drawing upon both contemporary and heritage dishes for inspiration. Working with local suppliers and using home grown and locally foraged produce, the first sample menu is a fine example of how they have gone about creating a sense of place through their food. Each dish has a story behind it…

Drunken oyster

Scotch eggs

 Kombu cured mackerel, apple and horseradish

Squid from the firth of Moray cooked in a stew of its own ink

Cock-a-leekie

Food from the forest

Venison, peat and brambles

Dripping fried porridge

Highland wagyu, green tea, onions and pickled pine

Macaroni pie

Flower of Scotland

Whisky

Sweeties

Matilda’s drinks list has been designed to perfectly complement the cooking with a diverse food pairing menu including beer, wine, sake and cocktails, as well as an interesting non-alcoholic pairing of juices, teas and infusions. Matilda’s approach is to offer a combination of ‘classics’ vs ‘off the beaten track’, including wines from her family vineyard; Treaty Port in China; a beer made in collaboration with local brewery, Wasted Degrees; soft drinks from Bad Gal Boocha and Rapscallion plus tea and coffee from The Rare Tea Company and Glen Lyon Roastery in Aberfeldy.

Pre and post dinner drinks can be comfortably enjoyed by the fireside, overlooking the kitchen gardens and fruit trees, in the Drawing Room or in the bijou Cocktail Bar with its marble countertop and feathered pink Murano glass chandeliers – surely the chicest place for an aperitif in Perthshire!  

The colour palette throughout is a calm, sophisticated deep blue with dark wood floors and eclectic hints of colour in the artwork and even in the hand-painted wash basins which were sourced from The London Basin Company. The selection of chandeliers and lights from Pooky in Chelsea hint at decadent times gone by as does the vintage 1960’s record player and mid-century furniture, which has all been brought together with stunning attention to detail. Upstairs are four generous four-poster bedrooms and a master suite (which comes with the chef’s table experience), each one uniquely shaped, due to the age of the property and with the original shutters restored. All bedrooms come with standalone roll-top baths for the ultimate indulgence, as well as rain-fall showers and feature blush pink concrete basins from Concrete Etc, with toiletries from Scotland-based Laura Thomas Co.  

A set dinner will be served to everyone at 7pm Wednesday to Saturday. The bar will open at 12noon, Wednesday – Saturday.

Tasting Menu £85 per person

Alcoholic Drinks Pairing £65 per person

Non-Alcoholic Drinks Pairing £45 per person
