Timberyard

The venue is stunning and has a warm and cosy atmosphere. The outside doesn't look like much but then it's surprisingly grand inside. Really appreciated the log burner and real candles, felt very welcoming. The food was incredible; my favourite course was the scallop course, closely followed by the dessert. Each course was a delight. What I did not appreciate was that we had to wait 45 minutes until we had a drink on the table. We were even served our first course before our wine. We were early and there weren't many guests at that time either. I would expect better service from a Michelin star restaurant. Lastly, it would have been nicer if we had one allocated waiter and not 7 different ones for each time someone attended the table. Hopefully, this will be taken as the constructive feedback that it's meant to be.

My boyfriend and I visited TIMBERYARD in August for a 30th birthday celebration. It was our first experience eating in a Michelin star restaurant and it did not disappoint. The service was impeccable; friendly, knowledgeable and not at all pretentious. We had a slight time limit as we had a Fringe show to get to. We informed them of this and they ensured we had the full tasting course experience, without feeling rushed at all. They helped us choose a fantastic bottle of wine from their extensive menu, giving us tasters of a couple after we provided our taste preferences. The food was a unique combination of flavours that worked incredibly well. Each dish had a clear theme, all locally sourced and considered. They adapted the tasting menu to our preference (I don’t eat shellfish and my boyfriend is allergic to chocolate) without any fuss. The flavours were still spot on. We were recommended TIMBERYARD from a few people, and now will share the recommendation! We hope to visit again in the future. Thanks to all the staff who made our experience so special

Some explosive drinks and flavours. The black pepper yoghurt was almost too much, you definitely won't be bored. It's an impressive setup with some weird choices but the one that stuck in my head was the uncomfortable chair , a 7 course tasting menu is a 3 to 4 hour experience. Comfort, is for me, key to the relax and enjoy experience.

Amazing fine dining in an openly hewn setting with a focus on local Scottish ingredients. The chef elevates and layers flavors beyond their simple menu descriptions. The set-menu is perfectly sequenced to balance the light and heavy flavors with portions that do not overwhelm your sense of appetite. You will remember what you ate at Timberyard, not how much you ate— which is a sign of a confident and skilled chef. And another sign of skill and confidence is the available soft pairing; which takes as much skill to do properly as any wine pairing. I do recommend both the soft and wine pairings to complement the full set-menu. A must-try if you are in Edinburgh. Reserve well in advance.

Exceptional experience. Very comfortable environment with great music and a rich history. The food is next level, seasonal and wonderfully presented. Service is top notch, even if our waiter was a bit quiet. Wine list was excellent with some great Champagne. Every moment was luxurious, with a great atmosphere. Would happily return.

Timberyard is at the top of my list when looking for a truly unique dining experience in Edinburgh. Located in a hip, industrial-chic former warehouse space, the restaurant offers a creative menu of locally-sourced artisanal produce. What sets Timberyard apart from other restaurants is its commitment to ingredient-led cooking that is created with respect to nature and the produce itself. The ingredients are sourced from local, artisan suppliers and Scotland's larder, ensuring that every dish is fresh, flavourful, and sustainable. The chefs are true artists, and each plate is a work of culinary genius. The vibe at Timberyard is cool and classy, with an edgy, modern feel. The drinks menu is eclectic and carefully chosen, with a wide range of options.

Had an amazing special occasion dinner including the paired softdrinks. The experience was great and service on point. Food was so good with interesting seasonal combinations. One small negative point, most of the staff are very soft spoken and the music on the loud side so could only hear part of the explanation for each dish.
