Andrew Fairlie is the Scottish born chef patron of the eponymous restaurant Andrew Fairlie, the only two Michelin star restaurant in Scotland. Ranking 18th in the Sunday Times top 100 restaurants, Fairlie uses local produce with classical French training for deceptively simple dishes.
Other accolades include AA Chef's Chef of the Year and One of the World's top 10 Hotel Restaurants by Hotel Magazine back in 2002.
The restaurant is calm and sophisticated, occupying a quiet corner of the Gleneagles Resort in Perthshire, and just formal enough to create a sense of occasion.
He uses classic white table cloths, diffused lighting, soft and light chenille furnishings and lively paintings hung dramatically on dark coloured walls.
