The “Best Restaurant In The World” Boasts Three Michelin Stars, And Is Officially Expanding To Scotland This Month

Our bonnie country is home to two two-Michelin-star restaurants – Restaurant Andrew Fairlie in Gleneagles, and most recently, The Glenturret Lalique restaurant owned by a Glasgow-born Chef. And now, we will also be getting an experience here in Scotland from the “best restaurant in the world”, El Celler de Can Roca.

El Celler de Can Roca is a three-Michelin-star restaurant located in Girona, Spain, and first opened its doors in 1986. Run by brothers Joan, Josep and Jordi, the fine dining establishment has a tremendous reputation across the world, with foodies travelling from all over the world just to eat there.

As a result, the family business keeps expanding, and now it is coming to Scotland at the end of October. The brothers have partnered with The Macallan estate in Speyside next to a whisky distillery (wouldn’t have expected anything else), offering a world-class dining experience, TimeSpirit.

The TimeSpirit experience is set to seat up to 30 guests, with a lunch menu costing £60, while a dinner experience is £95. As the Roca brothers already have an existing partnership with The Macallan whisky, it was an easy move to continue exploring their passion for Scotland. As a result, the fine dining experience only uses locally-sourced ingredients, offering a taste of Scotland created by some of the best minds on this Earth.

The owners said in a statement: “The many trips we have made to Scotland and the inspiration we have found in its old cookery books have afforded us the chance to pay homage to Scottish cuisine. We have been all over the country, drinking in its spirit, devoting time to it and we would now like to share our cooking through the Macallan.”

Rachel Walters, director of operations at the Macallan, said: “We have the finest Scottish larder on our doorstep, with a kitchen garden and a hyper-local sourcing programme, which will offer fresh, local ingredients alongside the welcoming Speyside hospitality.”

Visitors will be able to try TimeSpirit as early as October 31, and you can book it here.
