Only two of the six Scottish restaurants are in the top 50, with Lyla in Edinburgh placing at 17 as the highest.
Described as 'fish-focused', the restaurant is Stuart Ralston's and the Glenrothes-born chef has impressed those in the industry with it being described as 'calm and elegant'.

Mark Donald is the chef and his tasting menu is described as 'taking you on a journey through the Scottish landscape'.
The Kinneauchar Inn in Fife is placed at 66th having become known for its 'good-value daily-changing à la carte menu that celebrates seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, from whole-carcass meat and game to just-picked vegetables and seafood from nearby Pittenweem'.
There's two in a row at 78 and 79 with Argyll and Bute's Inver and The Little Chartroom in Edinburgh, before the capital's The Palmerston rounds off the Scottish restaurants in 97th.
