Big 7 Travel wrote: “The steakshere are a big deal, so much so that even the most particular and discerning among us will be impressed by their flavour, texture and sear.
“When you’re on the hunt for the same reliable and familiar taste of steak you’re used to in Edinburgh, you won’t want to pass up the opportunity to dine at Kyloe, where simplicity meets expertise to create something truly special and worth celebrating.”
Elsewhere, coming in at number 37 on the list is Porter & Rye in Glasgow. The buzzy New York-inspired restaurant, which is found in the trendy Finnieston neighbourhood of the city, serves up a menu of dry-aged beef and cocktails.
