What's this?

These are confidence labels. They show how sure we are that what we publish still reflects the restaurant's current practice. They are not a judgement on the restaurant; the wine and cooking are scored separately, out of 100.

  • Beta means assessed and scored, but we are still confirming some details (such as the current wine list) and the restaurant has not yet had the chance to correct any factual inaccuracy, so it is published with that caveat.
  • No label means a fully confirmed entry.
  • In development means not yet a review. It appears so you can see where coverage is coming.

Restaurants often change their menus. The date beside the label says when we last reviewed.

We assessed Cadiz in October 2026 and this review is based on the food menu and wine list at the time of the review. As menus and wine lists change, we name styles in order for the information to remain more useful as menus change. If things have slipped you can use the Vinealto Dining app including accessing an up to date reading using 'At the Table' from the wine list in front of you in the restaurant. How we assess

Cadiz is a Spanish seafood and tapas restaurant in central Edinburgh, strong on Scottish shellfish and paella. Its short wine list is mainstream, but its Sherries by the glass and its Albariño match the food well. It suits seafood lovers and groups sharing tapas who are happy to start with a glass of Fino.

Timberyard

Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Modern Scottish

Timberyard is a family-run, ingredient-led Scottish restaurant in a converted Edinburgh warehouse where the cooking is built on its own farms and foragers. The wine programme is one of the most serious in Scotland (a vast, coherent low-intervention cellar, matched dish by dish through a pairing flight and opened up by the glass and by old-and-rare flights) that achieves genuine mutual elevation with the food. It will most reward the curious wine lover who comes to eat seasonally and hand the table over to a great list and the people who know it.

The Palmerston

Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh

Modern British bistro

The Palmerston is a restaurant and bakery in Edinburgh's West End cooking confident, produce-led bistro food that changes with the month. The wine programme is one of the most serious a British bistro carries (a merchant-grade, grower-focused cellar, exceptional in Champagne and deep in the Jura and Savoie, opened up by a broad by-the-glass offer across every style) and it achieves real mutual elevation with the food. It will most reward the wine lover who wants a great list without the fine-dining ceremony, and who is happy to drink by the glass across a menu that changes often.
