Jimmy Lee is bringing his pan-Asian wok-based street food concept to the city’s St James Quarter. The new restaurant will be housed within Bonnie & Wild’s Scottish Marketplace.
Leith Woks is a new concept from the award-winning chef, who also operates Salt & Chilli in Glasgow’s West End and Hamilton, and Lychee Oriental in Glasgow City Centre.
Lee has also appeared on the BBC’s Great British Menu, as a judge alongside Prue Leith on Channel 4’s My Kitchen Rules and with Kirstie Allsopp on Kirstie’s Handmade Christmas as well as presenting his popular STV cookery series, Julie and Jimmy’s Hot Woks.
Ryan Barrie, Operations Director at Bonnie & Wild, said, “Jimmy Lee’s new venture Leith Woks is another brilliant addition to Bonnie & Wild, adding to a roster that already includes the likes of high-profile chefs Gary Maclean and Tony Singh, as well as local favourites Joelato, east PIZZAS, Stack & Still, El Perro Negro and of course Jimmy’s other venture, Salt & Chilli Oriental. Like the other food stalls at Bonnie & Wild, Leith Woks will show off the quality and diversity of Scotland’s world-class produce in ways that I’m sure will delight and excite our many guests. I can’t wait to try it!.”
