OPEN ARMS HOTEL

DIRLETON

OVERLOOKING 13th Century Dirleton Castle and within easy reach of golden beaches and great golf courses, this hotel and its restaurants are a real gem.

Diners can go for the brightly informal Deveau’s Brasserie or choose a more sophisticated dining experience in the library where they’ll be wowed by the delicious and imaginative dishes on offer, all prepared with the best possible local produce. Among the tempting treats are the rich and creamy Open Arms mussel and onion stew or the braised blade of John Gilmour’s Border beef with beetroot crust, Dauphinoise potato and artichoke puree.

Vegetarians can feast on equally exquisite fare like the savoury pumpkin pie with winter greens or roasted butternut squash, chestnut mushroom and spinach risotto with shaved Parmesan.

Winter or summer, formal or informal, the Open Arms is a great place to dine. When the snow is falling, you can enjoy your liqueurs by a roaring fire and on balmy evenings retire to the pretty courtyard. You won’t be disappointed.
