Due to a fire, Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond is closed for refurbishment, and is set to reopen in spring 2020.
Martin Wishart is a true restaurateur in Scotland – though Restaurant Martin Wishart remains his flagship, his outpost at Loch Lomond is just as lauded, having been awarded three rosettes from the AA, as well as a Michelin star. The dining room - which has been commended for its design - is just as glamorous, relaxed and modern as the city-centre venue, providing a charming counterpoint to the genteel surroundings of the house and loch.
Wishart's trademark blend of fine technique and luxury ingredients is once again at the fore of menus, while gentle combinations of flavours emphasise his skill at constructing dishes that have the fine dining touch but are accessible to all.
Seasonality and provenance is more than just a 'box to tick' here – the menu items are selected using the very best of what's available now. Quotidian items like endives, turnips and cabbage are used in fine style to flatter top-quality meat and fish components, and while localism is favoured you will frequently find daring and well-thought out flourishes from further afield.
The exceptional wine list is hugely extensive and allows a number of options – like pairing for the menu, half-bottles and glasses, and a wide selection of champagnes.
