This Michelin one-star restaurant in the Scottish Highlands has received a lot of praise. The crayfish with pumpkin juice is well received by gourmet experts and beautiful chefs. The pigeon meat is also tender and juicy, and the portion of the whole meal is just right. It is really a great Michelin restaurant. Although it is far away in the Highlands, it is worth visiting!
A very famous afternoon tea restaurant in Edinburgh. The roof is its special feature. The English black tea is very good, a traditional British way of eating. The bread with butter is very good, but a little greasy.
