Lost Shore, Scotland’s first inland surf resort, has announced the arrival of three celebrated Scottish restaurants in its highly anticipated waterfront bar, cafe, and restaurant offering, Canteen.
Glasgow-based Five March and Rafa’s Diner are set to join the resort, along with the iconic Edinburgh pizzeria, Civerinos.
The eateries will be the first to take up residence in the resort’s waterfront dining experience, Canteen, designed and managed by renowned Edinburgh-based events and hospitality agency, Rogue Village.
The venture aims to showcase a seasonally rotating roster of Scottish eateries, shining an international spotlight on Scotland’s exciting food and drink industry, providing visitors to Lost Shore with a diverse and ever-changing culinary experience.
The announcement comes as the Edinburgh-based inland surf resort is now taking online bookings for surfing and accommodation.
Lost Shore Surf Resort, which will open this Autumn, will be the home of Europe’s largest wave pool with luxury hilltop lodges, premium waterfront pods and wellness treatments. This has quickly become one of the most hotly anticipated tourism openings anywhere in the world this year and is expected to attract an additional 160,000 surfers and tourists to the surrounding areas annually.
Meet the Restaurants
Five March
Originating from Glasgow, Five March is renowned for its effortlessly cool vibe and inventive small plates.
This will be Five March’s third venture, following the success of their collaborative pop-up in Glasgow’s Southside, Five at Phillies, and the original Park Circus location. Owner Joanna Nethery has curated a menu rich in locally and ethically sourced ingredients, with a strong emphasis on vegetarian and vegan options, while also celebrating the incredible Scottish meat and fish offerings.
At Lost Shore, diners can expect a creative array of dishes that are as delicious as they are sustainable, making Five March a must-visit for food enthusiasts.
Civerinos
A staple of Edinburgh’s vibrant culinary scene, Civerinos is set to open its sixth location at Canteen.
Inspired by the atmosphere of classic New York Slice joints, Civerinos offers a laid-back yet dynamic dining experience, with an array of mouth-watering pizzas and Italian street food on offer.
Civerinos promises an inviting and energetic dining experience perfect for surfers and families alike.
Rafa’s Diner
From its humble beginnings in Glasgow’s Hidden Lane, Rafa’s Diner has quickly become a beloved spot for its down-to-earth charm and fantastic food.
Known for its no-fuss, flavour-packed menu, Rafa’s will bring its celebrated Mexican dishes to Lost Shore, offering a taste of comfort and authenticity. The diner’s Finnieston location has garnered a loyal following, and visitors to Lost Shore can look forward to the same delicious experience with a menu designed to delight.
Locality is a keen focus of Canteen’s offering. In addition to the rotating food offering, Canteen is working with speciality coffee roaster Machina Coffee, and the award-winning Company Bakery, both based in Edinburgh, to provide visitors with first-class hot drinks and pastries.
