It is fitting
that a restaurant built on the site of a former
glass-blowing workshop takes such a craftsman’s
pride in its cooking. In Flints, the fine
dining restaurant, the award-winning chef’s
have a real passion for food, lovingly prepared
fresh ingredients from Scotland and abroad
to produce dishes of stunning flavours and
subtle aromas. Flints offers a classical approach
to cooking with the emphasis on quality and
simplicity rather than the day’s latest
fad.
Such confidence is reflected in the service
of the ever-attentive waiting staff. Dressed
in their white braided tunics, they look
as if they have just stepped off a luxury
liner of old. Which is rather appropriate
as the service they offer diners is reminiscent
of the impeccable standards of travels’
golden age. For a more informal approach
guests can still dine in the lobby cocktail
bar. By day you can choose to relax with
friends and colleagues while munching a
filling club sandwich. At night you are
invited to shuck a few oysters and toast
your good health with a glass or two of
champagne.
