The Balmoral’s Michelin-starred restaurant, Number One, is recognised as one of Scotland’s greatest culinary experiences. It is Number One’s dedication to immaculate service and outstanding cuisine that gives this culinary landmark its winning edge. The Balmoral’s executive chef, Jeff Bland (chef profile page 70), and the Number One team – including head chef Billy Boyter – deservedly retained their Michelin star in 2012, for the tenth consecutive year.

Jeff Bland, who was named ‘Chef of the Year’ at the 2012 Scottish Restaurant Awards, places emphasis on creative dishes whilst promoting the best of Scotland by using only the finest and freshest Scottish ingredients. The spacious and comfortable surroundings at Number One create a sophisticated ambience and the knowledgeable staff ensure a truly memorable dining experience. The design features golden velvet banquettes and rich-red lacquered walls shipped from Hong Kong. The walls are adorned with eye-catching, unique art from the Institute of Art in London.

The bar at Number One is the perfect place to relax and enjoy a drink whilst glancing over the menu. Choose from an extensive list of Champagnes, traditional and contemporary cocktails, and a range of carefully selected wines. Relax after dinner with a coffee and one of many premium whiskies or cognacs.
