The Marco Pierre White Steakhouse has been sizzling along nicely in Glasgow’s Indigo Hotel for a couple of years.

It has now been joined by another branch of the steakhouse on the other side of the M8. In the Hilton Edinburgh Carlton hotel, to be precise.

The North Bridge hotel has undergone an extensive £17 million refurbishment and the restaurant is part of the fresh look along with the new Nineteen Hundred Bar & Lounge.

24 oz Côte de boeuf

As the name suggests, steaks are prominent on the menu and all those served in the restaurant are 28-day aged and supplied by Campbells.

As well as classic fillets, sirloins and rib-eyes, the choice includes a whopping 24 oz Côte de boeuf from Buccleuch.

Non-steak options include Wheeler’s fish curry with mango and coriander plus buttered rice and The Governor’s fish and chips – beer battered haddock served with triple cooked chips, mushy peas and sauce tartare.

A short stroll away, on George IV Bridge, changes are afoot on the ground floor of G&V Royal Mile Hotel.

The old island bar is being moved for a new bar called Epicurean.

Set to open in November, Epicurean will dish up cocktails and infusions using flowers and herbs grown in the hotel’s EvoGro hydroponic.

Epicurean will also serve an all-day dining menu. Mediterranean snacks are promised alongside an extensive mocktail list made with hand-pressed juices.

Florist master classes with cocktails

Local florist Snapdragon will be making its new home in the lobby and visitors will be able to book florist master classes, complimented with cocktails from Epicurean.

Having opened as Hotel Missoni in 2009, The Quorvus Collection’s G&V Royal Mile Hotel has also been having a complete refurbishment.

Head Chef Mattia Camorani continues to push the boundaries in the hotel’s Cucina restaurant.

We like the look of his honey tasting menu.
