An Edinburgh restaurant has been added to the Michelin Guide for 2026, with inspectors praising its Asian-inspired sharing plates.
Lucky Yu opened on the city's Broughton Street in 2023 with a menu of dumplings, bao buns, and small plates that has this week earned them a nod from Michelin.
Of the restaurant, the guide says: "Follow the neon and you’ll soon find yourself in this buzzing little bistro serving a variety of Asian-inspired sharing plates. Grab a cocktail and take a seat in the window or perhaps up at the counter, then try hard not to order everything on the menu.
"From the fried chicken karaage to the signature ‘Dirty Rice’, this is unfussy food piled high with flavour. As difficult as it may be to stop ordering, try to save room for the playful apple pie gyozas to finish.
"The chatty and attentive service is the final piece of a very enjoyable picture."
Reacting to the news on social media, Lucky Yu said: "We genuinely cannot believe it. Thank you to every single person who has walked through our door, ordered the dirty rice (good choice), and come back again.
"Thank you to our incredible team and suppliers - the ones who make this place what it is and something worth being proud of."
