The Stockbridge Restaurants like Edinburgh’s cosy, family-run restaurant is situated in the heart of historic Stockbridge where it’s not so much fine-dining as a relaxed, unpretentious experience.
Head Chef Jason, his partner Jane and their team proudly present ‘fresh and creative cooking, hand-picked wines and a warm-hearted ambience.’
The restaurant is beautifully decorated with fresh flowers and fairy lights, quality linen and heavy silver cutlery. The food is exceptional, using fresh seasonal produce, locally sourced, with a highlight being Scottish hand-dived scallops.
The Team
Jason Gallagher – Proprietor / Head Chef
City Chef of the Year 2008 – Scottish Chef Awards
Early ambitions to own his own top flight restaurant have been achieved with recent notable success, when Jason’s culinary and management skills were rewarded with Gold in a new award scheme for the city’s restaurants, inaugurated by the Edinburgh Restaurateurs’ Association.
The new ratings which allow diners to assess their venue, service and food using a points system, voted Jason joint winner in the Fine Dining category. Presented with his certificate by the Lord Provost, Jason said: “What matters most is to be valued by the diners.”
Following college training for his formal chef’s qualifications, Jason’s experience has been gained in restaurants and hotels throughout the UK, Spain and Bermuda. His return to his partner Jane’s birthplace saw him working previously at the Bonham Hotel and Martins Restaurant, before this latest, most successful venture.
