Missoni Hotel Gets Even More Scottish With New Restaurant

It's been almost two months since the Missoni Hotel Edinburgh debuted to the public as the first Missoni Hotel in the world, and it looks like we've still got another two months to go before it grand-opens with another restaurant.

Although there is already the Missoni Bar and Missoni Cucina, it's been announced that Roy Brett, chef-director of the Dakota Hotel Group, will get his own restaurant on the street-level of the hotel. It's to be called Ondine after a mythical sea nymph, and will focus on seafood. Brett himself describes the restaurant's concept: "Set against the backdrop of Edinburgh’s historic old town, Ondine will bring together my passion for fish, shellfish and local produce, which will offer locals and visitors something quite different."

So it sounds like, despite Missoni's Italian brand and international design flair, that Hotel Missonis are open to incorporating local businesses and tastes. This will be a Scottish restaurant after all; something we could have never imagined paired in the same paragraph as the words "Missoni Hotel." Now, when the restaurant opens in September, do you think they'll make Missoni patterns in our bowl of cullen skink?
