Eleanore named Edinburgh restaurant of the year

The award ceremony at Brewhemia on Market Street saw 58 restaurants challenge for a range of coveted titles, crowning 15 Edinburgh establishments for their achievements in a variety of categories including Best Newcomer, Best Chef and Best Family Friendly venue.

Eleanore, on Albert Place in Leith, who’s wowed visitors with its fine dining since opening last December, picked up top honours with Restaurant of The Year.

Bruntsfield’s Italian restaurant, Tempo Perso, claimed the prize for Best Family Friendly restaurant, while city centre restaurant, Café St Honore, which fuses Scottish produce with French style cooking, collected the Sustainability Award, beating three other top Edinburgh restaurants in the category.

Winning Best Newcomer was Dish Cult’s very own Bundits of Leith, and south side restaurant, No1 The Grange, was awarded the prize for Best Gastro Pub and Brewery.

The sought after award for Best Fine Dining went to another Dish Cult fave, Aizle on Charlotte Square, triumphing over three other prestigious restaurants: The Little Chatroom, Noto and Number One at the Balmoral Hotel.

The title for Best Seafood in Edinburgh was awarded to Leftfield in Brunsfield, while the prize for Best World Food went to Macau Kitchen in St Leonards for its Macanese and Portuguese cuisine.

And finally Wedgewood The Restaurant, another Dish Cult venue, was awarded first place for Best Customer Service.

Congratulations to all winners – we’re particularly proud of all our Dish Cult venues doing so well.
