Recently opened in St. Andrews on South Street is The Adamson restaurant; a great new addition to the already excellent dining options in St. Andrews.
The Adamson offers brasserie style dining and serves Scottish food with a contemporary twist. I look forward to dining here and will review further once I have had the opportunity to sample the food and service!

Turnberry Resort has become the very first hotel in Scotland to introduce iPad wine and beverage menus into their dining experience. The growing popularity of the tablet computer in the US has also been incorporated by Gordon Ramsay into his London “Maze Restaurant”.
Turnberry has invested in ten iPads which offer guests a colourful and interactive choice of beer, wine, cocktails and whiskies in their 1906 restaurant and The Ailsa Bar & Lounge.
The news of the upgraded menus at Turnberry comes after their launch of a range of well-known golfers’ wines; including the personal selection from John Daly, Retief Goosen and Arnold Palmer. These will be featured on the new menus.

Ondine is situated in the centre of Edinburgh’s old town and has been endorsed by many of our clients who have stayed in and around Scotland’s capital. They have just recently been announced as the regional winner for Scotland in The Good Food Guide Restaurant of the Year awards; voted for by diners.
Owner of Ondine, Roy Brett, said of the win: “This is fantastic news…Over the last 20 months we’ve all worked hard to establish Ondine as a great dining destination with a special atmosphere to match, I’m glad our efforts have been recognised by the critics, by the customers and now by one of Britain’s most prestigious food guides”.
At the restaurant you will find an outstanding selection of quality seafood with the added feature of the crustacean bar where fresh seafood and shellfish are prepared in front of diners.
Make sure you add this restaurant to your list of places to dine next time you travel to Edinburgh.
I have learned with interest this week that Kinloch Lodge, on the beautiful island of Skye, has retained its Michelin star for 2011.
For those not aware, Skye is located off the west coast of Scotland and is famous thanks to the “Skye Boat Song” about Bonnie Prince Charlie fleeing there after the battle of Culloden in 1746. Skye offers some stunning scenery as well as a wealth of history…and with the Talisker Distillery also located on the island, it makes a great stop on any tour of Scotland. Now with its Michelin star, one of the highest awards in fine cuisine, a stay at Kinloch Lodge would really put the finishing touch to a trip.

At PerryGolf we are asked regularly by our clients for dining suggestions and this is an area we work hard to keep up to date with. The relatively new Ondine restaurant in Edinburgh is one that has been doing very well since it opened in September 2009, and it has recently been awarded the title of ‘Seafood Restaurant of the Year’ at the Scottish Restaurant Awards. This category is one of the most hotly contested given the reputation of Scottish seafood as being amongst the best in the world.
Congratulations also go to the Peat Inn just outside St Andrews who won ‘Restaurant of the Year’. This is an establishment PerryGolf clients have enjoyed for many years and it seems to going from strength to strength. Further details of the awards can be viewed here.
