SIDE DISHES
Just opened in Edinburgh is an ambitious new restaurant from Swiss-French chef Jérôme Henry (pictured). Called Le Roi Fou and coming into the space previously occupied by Burger Meats Bun on Forth Street, just off Broughton Street, Henry plans to serve modern European dishes across a variety of menus including daily prix fixe, à la carte, tasting, vegetarian and weekend brunch. Previously head chef at Anton Mosimann’s Private Dining Club in Belgrave Square in London, Henry has teamed up with creative director Isolde Nash to incorporate some bold styling to the bar and salon, ranging from Dada inspirations to Belle Époque red velvet, fine china and crystal, with additional input from Glasgow designer and cabinetmaker David Watson.

This year’s edition of our Eating & Drinking Guide will be available from Wednesday 19 April – pre- order it on list. co.uk or look out for it in newsagents or bookshops, with a discount deal available through Waterstones (see page 52). Our 24th annual guide is – as ever – brimful with up-to-date reviews of all the places worth knowing about in Glasgow and Edinburgh for eating out, with coverage of 150 new entries, brand-new Hitlists and Tiplists, as well as an announcement of our awards, including best newcomers, best new bars and a readers’ award. Among the new places in Glasgow you can catch up on is a venture by 2016 award-winner Nico Simeone. Operating out of 1132 Argyle Street,
News to nibble on Six by Nico will host a new restaurant concept every six weeks, with an evolving series of six- course tasting menus themed on a different place or memory. First up, running until 23 April, is ‘The Chippie’.
In Edinburgh, there’s also a new venture from the second team behind Eyre Place’s New Chapter, with Otro Restaurant at 22 Coates Crescent serving their take on classic brasserie dishes, along with breakfast, steak and cocktail menus. In town, Ronaq Indian Restaurant has opened up on East Market Street (next to the council’s Waverley Court offices), while the popular Bearded Baker now has his own shop-café at 46 Rodney Street in Canonmills.

NOURISHING THE NATION SINCE 1975
Ever since our Broughton Street store opened in 1974 we have been providing good quality wholefood ingredients that can be used to make delicious, nourishing meals for you and your family.
We all want to stay warm and keep our families healthy through the winter months. One great way to help all the family stay it and well is to feed them well with warm, nourishing food cooked from scratch. Processed foods can be costly. You pay for the labour to make these foods, and often pay VAT on ready meals, cakes and treats. The raw ingredients for these foods are Vat free, so that’s a ifth of the cost saved!
Come on, visit the healthiest shop in town and see what you can get to nourish
your family this winter.
