Chef partners Sarah Baldry and Alan Keery have opened their first restaurant, Nàdair, in Marchmont.
The 20-cover restaurant is the first solo venture by Sarah and Alan, who met while working at Wedgwood the Restaurant – a longstanding staple in the Edinburgh hospitality scene.
The duo run the kitchen together, and have built their food and drinks menus on local and foraged ingredients. The daily-changing 5-course set menu features modern Scottish dishes with Scandi influences, with Sarah leading on pastry. The drinks menu focuses mainly on organic wines along with a selection of forage-based cocktails, showcasing their seasonal in-house infusions.
Co-owner and head chef Alan Keery says, “We’re so proud to open our first restaurant together, Nàdair, in the city where we met. It’s been a long time in the making, and we’re really looking forward to working together to showcase the best produce that Scotland’s larder has to offer.”
Co-owner and pastry chef, Sarah Baldry, added, “We’re working with the best local suppliers and using our restaurant as a platform to show the people of Edinburgh the real quality of ingredients we have available to us in Scotland. We’ve had such a wonderful reception from our neighbours in Marchmont, and had lots of locals visit us for lunch and dinner – we really feel part of the community already.”
