Avery Restaurant

It should be given more than one Michelin star. Absolutely amazing!! The best restaurant in Edinburgh. Every dish is a painting. So beautifully ‘painted’ and mouthwatering. Every bite gives a sensation that’s unforgettable.

This cozy subterranean treat is a must for anyone seeking a top notch tasting menu in Edinburgh. Chef Rodney and his sous chef took the time to personally describe each of the incredible dishes as they were served. Local ingredients were prominently showcased in this seemingly perfect culinary experience.

A Chef whose dishes are full of passion and adventure, who thinks outside of the box to create unique plates of food beautifully presented. Wine pairing is expensive - that said the quality of wines and spirit supplied across the dishes are superb. Well deserved Michelin Star ⭐️👏🏼

Well this has well and truly changed food for me forever! It is exquisite, unique, magnificent and thoughtful. Every dish is exciting and spontaneous. I can’t even comprehend what my taste buds just enjoyed but it was phenomenal and the best food experience of my life so far. Thank you so much ✨

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Avery Restaurant – A Culinary Pilgrimage Worth Crossing Oceans For! If there’s one restaurant in the United Kingdom—no, in the world—that deserves every accolade, every Michelin star, and every ounce of praise, it’s The Avery Restaurant in Edinburgh. Let me be clear: this is not just a meal, it’s a transcendent experience—one that redefines fine dining and leaves every other so-called "world-class" establishment in the dust. I’ve dined at Michelin-starred temples of gastronomy across 16 countries, from Tokyo’s meticulous sushi shrines to Paris’s most hallowed kitchens, yet nothing—absolutely nothing—compares to Chef Rodney and his team. This isn’t just cooking; this is artistry, passion, and sheer genius plated with such precision and soul that every bite feels like unlocking a new dimension of flavor. Why The Avery is the Best Restaurant in the UK (Possibly the World) Chef Rodney is a Culinary Visionary – His dishes aren’t just food; they’re narratives on a plate, each one unfolding like a chapter in an epic novel. The balance, the textures, the unexpected yet harmonious flavors—every element is perfection. Attention to Detail is Unmatched – From the handcrafted ceramics to the way each course is presented with a story, The Avery doesn’t just feed you—it immerses you. Personalized Like No Other – Many high-end restaurants treat you as just another guest. Not here. The team genuinely cares, tailoring the experience in ways that feel intimate, like you’re the only diner that matters. Every Dish is a Revelation – Whether it’s a delicate amuse-bouche that explodes with flavor or a main course so beautifully composed it brings a tear to your eye, this kitchen operates at a level most chefs can only dream of. Final Verdict: Worth the Trip to Edinburgh Alone Forget the castles, forget the history—book a flight to Edinburgh just for The Avery. This is the culinary destination of the United Kingdom, and Chef Rodney deserves not just stars but an entire constellation. If you consider yourself a lover of food, of experience, of emotion on a plate—then missing The Avery is a crime against your soul. The Avery isn’t just the best restaurant in the UK—it’s among the greatest in the world. And I don’t say that lightly. Bravo, Chef Rodney. You’ve ruined all other dining for me—and I couldn’t be happier. Rating: 10/5 (Yes, it’s that good.) Would I fly back just for another meal? Without hesitation.

My wife and I (from Tampa Bay, FL) spent the week in Edinburgh last week celebrating her birthday and went to many fine restaurants. The best restaurant hands down was Avery. The food, the presentation, the wine, the service, the stories - deserves a Michelin star for sure! Exhilarating experience! We plan to come back to Edinburgh many times in the future to try more restaurants but the one we plan to come back to on every visit will be Avery! Wishing you all huge success going forward! Since the last review above, we went back to Avery again to celebrate our son’s birthday. My last review said they deserved a Michelin star and they achieved that in this time before our return. Congratulations to Chef Wages and his team. On this trip back we went again to many fine restaurants in Edinburgh, and once again I found Avery to be our favorite. Highly recommended and can’t wait to return yet again!

We had the pleasure of visiting Avery in SF and couldn’t miss the chance to experience it again in Edinburgh, and it was absolutely spectacular! Every single dish was mind-blowingly delicious, crafted with so much care and creativity. The service was impeccable, making us feel welcomed and truly cared for. It was, without a doubt, the highlight of our trip to Scotland and the best way to celebrate me and my husbands tenth anniversary. Thank you chef Rodney and the crew for such a delightful night!

A must try, great new addition to the Edinburgh fine dinning scene. I was there for the first time yesterday, it was a fabulous evening. The menu was unusual and gave little away about the delightful food that was to follow. The food tasted absolutely delicious and was well and interestingly presented. The paired wines were also well matched. I would highly recommend and I cannot wait to return.
