TRES VEG IS BACK !
Twenty years ago, Chef Rob and Chef Stuart Ralston were young cooks in New York, working together at the two-Michelin-starred Gordon Ramsay at The London. As luck would have it, they were also roommates, sharing a small apartment and experiencing New York together at the beginning of their careers. Those years were formative, both in and out of the kitchen, and a lasting friendship was born.
Now, two decades later, they’re finally back in the kitchen together.
Stuart is coming to Washington from Edinburgh’s acclaimed LYLA, his intimate, seafood-focused restaurant in a beautifully restored Georgian townhouse overlooking the Firth of Forth. LYLA earned its first @michelinguide Star in 2025 and was named Best Restaurant in Scotland by the National Restaurant Awards. Its tasting menu celebrates exceptional Scottish produce, sustainable fish/shellfish, and the seasons.
For two special nights at Oyster Oyster, Scotland meets DC as Rob and Stuart reunite to cook together for the first time since their New York days.
Two former roommates. Two chefs. Two decades of friendship. Two unforgettable nights.
Reservations for this very veg evening go live 9/18/26 at 12pm via @resy taken in Oyster Oyster by @chef.stuart.ralston

It was such a pleasure to welcome @chef.stuart.ralston and the @lylaedinburgh team to @frogbyah for our second 4 Hands Dinner of the series. I have so much respect for what Stuart and his team are doing up in my homeland, so getting to cook together and share the evening with everyone who joined us was a real privilege.

Thank you to everyone who came along and made it such a special night ❤️

If you missed this one because you were stuck in Scotland… watch this space. I might be coming home 😉 taken in Frog by Adam Handling by @chef.stuart.ralston

Unreal dinner in Edinburgh🍸 [ad-invite]

Vinette is a gorgeous Parisian inspired restaurant on Broughton Street in Edinburgh, and it’s definitely one to add to your list! @becca_jjack and I headed there recently and loved it!

The bread course here was absolutely unreal - warm, fresh bread with the saltiest butter 🤤! We started with the Baron Bogor crumpet & the poached pear, artichoke & walnut starter, which were both really light but packed with flavour!

I’d heard so much about the burger and it did not disappoint! The sirloin was cooked to absolute perfection and the chips were SO crispy!

Sadly, we didn’t have any room for dessert, but make sure you head downstairs for a cocktail at @vivienedinburgh . The Peach Please was so interesting, especially if you’re a fan of basil like me!

With a wee visit to Vivien coming up in a few weeks, I was reminiscing lunch at their sister venue Vinette back in December. The kind of place that does the simple things properly: warm bread, proper butter, a burger that has no business being this good. Conde Nast seem to like it too (if my word isn’t enough 🙂‍↕️)

French-leaning, candlelit, the sort of menu you want to order all of. swipe through and try not to get hungry x

Culinary Alert — 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Lyla, Edinburgh: The raw beauty of the North reimagined ✨

In the heart of Edinburgh, chef Stuart Ralston has created a sanctuary where the rugged poetry of the Scottish Isles meets a refined, contemporary elegance. At Lyla, the kitchen acts as a storyteller, translating the wild energy of the coast and the richness of the land into a sophisticated urban narrative. The menu is a vibrant dialogue with the tides, prioritizing the very best line-caught fish and sustainable shellfish, handled with a precision that allows the natural character of each ingredient to shine.

This deep-rooted connection to the territory is fueled by cherished relationships with local foragers, growers, and the UK’s most dedicated organic farms. Every element of the experience is chosen with intention, creating a bridge between the remote landscapes of the North and the city’s culinary heart. The result is an extended tasting menu that feels like a natural evolution—an immersive journey that explores the purity and authenticity of Scotland’s seasonal larder.

Under Stuart Ralston’s visionary guidance, Lyla offers a space for genuine connection and discovery. By blending meticulous craft with a profound respect for nature, the restaurant invites guests to experience a cuisine that is both deeply personal and globally resonant. It is a place where the simplicity of a perfectly sourced ingredient is elevated into an unforgettable moment of modern gastronomy.
