The Kitchen at Restoration Yard

★★★★★

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Kitchen at Restoration Yard, nestled within the beautiful grounds of Dalkeith Country Park, and it was a truly delightful experience. The moment you step inside, the atmosphere immediately puts you at ease. The space is bright, airy, and stylishly decorated, with a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern elegance. It's the ideal place to unwind after a walk around the park's scenic trails. The menu is a celebration of fresh, seasonal, and locally sourced ingredients. I was particularly impressed by the creativity of the dishes; my lunch of roasted squash and halloumi salad was vibrant, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The dessert menu was just as tempting, with a sticky toffee pudding that was rich, moist, and utterly perfect. The service was great from younger staff only who are very friendly, attentive, and clearly passionate about the food they were serving. They were happy to offer recommendations and made sure every part of the meal was an absolute pleasure. The Kitchen at Restoration Yard is more than just a restaurant; it’s a destination in itself. It’s a perfect spot for a relaxed family lunch, a special celebration, or simply a treat after a day of exploring. I left feeling nourished, both by the wonderful food and the serene atmosphere. I can't wait to return.”

“WOW this was just fabulous from start to finish. Set in gorgeous grounds. Such a warm welcome on arrival. We were first to arrive and were seated straight away. We had booked. Began to fill up really quickly. The place was just so tastefully decorated. Lovely lady sat us and took our order. Food was amazing. Sour dough toast with smashed avocado. Was presented beautifully and tastefully amazing. Really good portion size. My friend has only recently moved to the area and had recommended that we had our breakfast here before taking the littleone to the adventure park. I definitely want to return to try lunch dishes on my next visit xx”
