The Rise Restaurant, styled by professional designers Twenty2 Degrees, features a stylish dining room, plus cocktail bar, open kitchen, and heated outdoor courtyard. On the menu, you’ll find moules mariniere, confit duck terrine, followed by stone bass or perhaps opt for something from the prestigious grill, where the best locally sourced beef is served up according to taste.

Meanwhile, the sophisticated 1906 Bar has everything ready for connoisseurs of champagne, spirits and whisky to drop in and be impressed. From the highlands to the lowlands to the islands, you’ll find Dalwhinnie, Auchentoshan, Talisker and much more.
