Scots celebrity chef Tom Kitchin closes Edinburgh eatery following 'tough decision'

dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scots celebrity chef Tom Kitchin will be closing his Edinburgh restaurant at the end of the month. Tom opened KORA, which is in Bruntsfield, alongside his wife Michaela back in 2022 and it was their fourth local venture alongside The Scran & Scallie, The Kitchin and The Bonnie Badger, in Gullane.

On his Instagram, Tom revealed that it was time to close the doors for a final time, he penned: "Thank you to everyone who has supported KORA over the years.

We have made the very tough decision to wrap KORA up at the end of this month.. "KORA by Tom Kitchin has always been a restaurant which we felt really passionate about and we are proud of the great food, service and experiences we have provided to our guests over the past few years. "Our regular diners and our suppliers have been instrumental in KORA’s success.

Our incredible team has really shown visitors to Edinburgh how incredible Scottish fare is and how proud we are to promote Scottish hospitality. "We have every intention to bring the KORA concept back to Edinburgh one day, but there is no hiding that the current economic climate contribute to this difficult decision.
