Edinburgh set for top-rated Chinese restaurant Zhima as bosses tease new location
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info The hospitality group behind a popular Chinese restaurant 'loved by Scotland's top influencers' are set to open a new eatery in Edinburgh. Zhima, in Glasgow, recently celebrated it's one-year anniversary in the Scottish city and bosses have already set their sights on a second location in the capital. Launched in April 2024 by Hunky Dory Dining Group, Zhima has received rave reviews in Glasgow's late-night dining scene, serving up a modern Chinese menu with Cantonese, Hunan and Sichaun dishes. The restaurant opened on St Vincent Place, replacing the former Prezzo site and has since been hailed by the likes of Jamie Genevieve, Megan Walsh and Ava Black. Restaurant bosses have put emphasis on presentation and detail by making the venue pictureesque with plush booth seating and a vibrant cocktail bar. The co-founder of Hunky Dory Dining Group has now revealed a restaurant in Edinburgh is an option they are exploring in the not too distant future, saying it is "definitely" on their radar. Paul Sloan said: 'It's been an emotional journey. Launching a new concept always comes with a risk, especially one that diverges from our established brands. But the response has been overwhelming. We wanted to create something new for Glasgow - a space that offered design, service and cuisine in one elevated experience - and our guests have embraced that. Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages 'Our proudest moment was last December. It was a record month across the group, and to hit those heights with a new team, a new brand, and a labour-intensive kitchen, was a huge achievement.' 'Zhima isn't like anything else we've done. It's more intimate, more refined. Guests tell us it feels private and special. That was the goal. We wanted to offer a sense of occasion, a venue where people could dress up and dine late, right in the heart of the city. 'We had a vision of creating a late-night space where people could dress up and experience something special. I think Zhima has proven that the city was ready for that.' Looking ahead to year two, Sloan confirms the brand is set to grow, with plans for expansion beyond Glasgow already underway: 'A restaurant like Zhima belongs in major cities. Edinburgh is definitely on our radar, and we can see it happening in the not so distant future. 'What we've proven here is that the appetite exists for this kind of elevated, late-night Chinese dining. We set out to create something special, and when you see how hard it is to get a booking most nights, you know it's struck a chord. That's the kind of excitement we want to build on.'
