Salt & Chilli Oriental, Edinburgh
Chef Jimmy Lee has announced plans to open Salt & Chilli Oriental, his popular street food brand, in Edinburgh. The new restaurant will be in the much anticipated St James Quarter within the new Bonnie & Wild Scottish marketplace this July. It will serve up comforting Chinese classics alongside curious fusion concoctions, mixing conventional Hong Kong street food with a strong dose of modern Scottish attitude. Sign me up!
Vega at Yotel, Glasgow
Taking over the seventh floor of Yotel Glasgow and offering epic cityscape views, Vega will blast off in mid-July with an emphasis on big tunes and beautiful drinks, playing host to some of the city's hottest DJs every weekend. The rooftop setting, designed specifically for the Instagram set, transports guests into an era inspired by Glasgow's music scene and British pop culture with a distinct "space-age" vibe. Bring on the party!
The Lawn, North Berwick
This summer, a new restaurant with breathtaking coastal views will open in one of Scotland's most picturesque seaside towns. The Lawn, at Marine North Berwick as part of the Marine & Lawn Hotels & Resorts collection, will be accompanied by The Bass Rock, a stylish, laid-back bar and lounge. Chris Niven, who previously served as executive chef at The Adamson in St Andrews and The Scotsman Hotel in Edinburgh, will oversee the restaurant's menu, which will include an all-day, seasonal à la carte menu as well as a daily changing set lunch menu.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
