Fillets of Sea Bass with Sunblushed Tomato and Red Pepper Sauce

This week I paid a visit to the newly refurbished Kirklands Hotel in Kinross. I was super impressed from the minute I stepped into Kirklands. On arrival you step into the relaxing and trendy bar which serves coffees, cake and cocktails and then you make your way through to the stylish restaurant where head chef Scott Murdoch prepared a mouth watering Sea Bass dish with sunblushed tomatoes and red pepper sauce for our recipe this week.

The restaurant at Kirklands offers a high quality dining experience and menus change seasonally. The restaurant is well known to locals for its Sunday Roast lunches. In addition the quiet and secluded beer garden offers the perfect place to enjoy a meal or a drink on a sunny day.

Great interior design and the best of Scottish cuisine – this restaurant is a winner all round!
