Images: 21212 Restaurant, Edinburgh S cotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, where in summer the population swells to more than double its original size due to the array of summer festivals. Ranking the second best in the world for quality of life, it goes without saying we have come to the right place. The impressive range of dining options with more restaurants per head than any other city in the UK, including five Michelin-starred restaurants – second only to London, makes Edinburgh the destination to book a hotel and explore the finer things in life. And so, Restaurant 21212 established its roots in Edinburgh. With great vision and dedication, a listed Georgian townhouse in need of thorough renovation had become the canvas for the total food experience of Paul Kitching and his partner, Katie O’Brien. Now, a Michelin star restaurant earning its accolades by preparing the finest of modern French cuisine, 21212 is the place to eat – and stay. 21212 has four luxurious rooms on the top floors of the property commanding views over the gardens to the rear, or Edinburgh city to the front. Decorated in understated tones, the decor is brimming with sophistication, cleverly adding subtle details throughout every chosen element. The restaurant offers the finest of cuisine. For those looking for a little privacy, book the Pod. Ideal for smaller parties of up to six people and adjacent to the Drawing Room, this semi-private dining room features a circular cream leather banquette and pink marble table and a state of the art piece of art to never forget your dining experience – if one even thought this was possible with such an ever-changing menu. www.21212restaurant.co.uk 21212
