Monteiths

This award-winning restaurant serves some of the best Scottish food in the city. To find it, follow the sign down a set of stairs off the High Street. If you’re heading there after dark, it’s even easier: just follow the fairy lights.

Inside, the boutique décor and impressive cocktail bar give this venue a private members club vibe. The food? Seasonal, local produce crafted into delicious classics with a twist – like the Arbroath Smokie risotto.
