An eclectic mix of   flavours and prime Scottish ingredients to produce the most sublime results.

'The Chip', as it’s known locally, is a ground-breaking, multi award-winning restaurant and still the city’s favourite place for Mctastic Scottish food, especially venison and seafood. All served in a plant-filled, covered courtyard patio. Upstairs is their bistro, Upstairs at the Chip (daily 1200-2300), which doesn’t make you feel quite as special but is much easier on the wallet.
