Welcome to Livingston's

Livingston's Restaurant was established in Linlithgow on the 19th December 1994 by the Livingston family; Ronald, Christine and son Derek. It is a testimony of its success that it has thrived for nineteen years in such a competitive field. Livingston's restaurant has won a number of accolades for its cuisine, including a Macallan "Out of Town Restaurant" Award Winner, two AA rosettes and a listing in the respected Michelin Guide. Son Derek, who originally headed the kitchen team, now leads the front of house team. The kitchen brigade is currently made up of head chef Max Hogg along with chefs Daniel and Martin.

The restaurant has two distinct areas for eating. Tables in the original stone building are softly lit and are ideal for a candle-lit meal, while the newer patio extension is wood and windows, creating a bright and cheerful ambience.

Livingston's Restaurant is on the bustling High Street of Linlithgow. But as it is tucked away, down an alley-way at the back of the buildings fronting the street, you would never know the traffic was so close by. Indeed, there are not many restaurants where you can dine while watching a family of rabbits doing the same on the lawn outside! Garden furniture, flowers and shrubbery also add to the relaxing view.
There is an extensive wine list with prices from £5.50 for a glass of house wine, through around £19.95 for a bottle of  Livingston's own Chilean Merlot. The wine list has a good selection of wines from around the world including New Zealand white and red wines and includes some rare treats, such as a 2004 Amarone di Valpolicella from Speri, (winner of a prestigious 'Three Glass' award from Gambero Rosso and Slow Food Italy).
For that special occasion Livingston's also has a wide range of excellent Champagnes to suit all tastes.......Pol Roger's 'Sir Winston Churchill' the great man's favourite.

We look forward to seeing you soon
