Kevin Dalgleish
Chef Patron
Kevins chef-ing life began in his home town of Hawick. From there he moved to London, to The Savoy Hotel, to work for Chef Des Cuisines Anton Edelmann. After 3 years he moved back to Scotland and worked in some of Scotland’s top hotels and restaurants. Kevin moved to Aberdeen in 2012 from the five star Ackergill Tower to open up Aberdeen’s chic The Chester Hotel, firmly placing it in Scotland’s dining scene with winning Head Chef of The Year 2015, New Restaurant of The Year 2016 and Executive Chef of The Year 2017. During his time at The Chester he helped create The Signature Event and hosted the likes of Phil Howard, Daniel Clifford, Roy Bret, Glynn Purnell and Richard Corrigan. Taking over Amuse Restaurant at the start of 2022, he is looking to create a relaxed, friendly environment using local seasonal ingredients with French soul! Great cocktails, fine wine and whisky, with a big slice of old fashioned hospitality.
