Ottolenghi set to make Scottish debut with new Edinburgh opening

Ottolenghi will open a restaurant on Edinburgh’s George Street this autumn – marking its first UK restaurant in Scotland.

The new restaurant will be led Isle of Skye born executive chef Neil John Campbell, who has worked at Ottolenghi for the last decade.

Ottolenghi now operates ten locations, the majority of which are located in and around London alongside outposts in Geneva and Amsterdam.

The restaurant group said further details on its Edinburgh location’s menu, design and opening date will be announced in due course.

Chef and founder Yotam Ottolenghi said: "We’ve been dreaming about opening in Edinburgh for years, at last the time is right.

“The city has a brilliant dining culture and access to incredible local produce - fish, seafood, and beautiful vegetables from across Scotland. Neil, our executive chef, is from here, so it’s made the whole thing feel special from the very beginning.”
