Mark Greenaway was the only chef in Scotland to be newly awarded 3 AA Rosettes for Culinary Excellence in 2012. His commitment and drive place him in the very top tier of Scottish chefs.

Restaurant Mark Greenaway has now been named number 13 in the UK by Square Meal in their 2016 list of the top 100 restaurants, and runner-up for Best Restaurant in the Observer Food Monthly for 2013, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

Mark is an ambassador for Scotland Food and Drink and played a key role in supporting the year of food and drink 2015.

In April 2012 he represented Scotland on BBC2’s Great British Menu and appeared again in the 2013 series Great British Menu Does Comic Relief. In early 2013, Mark mentored a group of teenagers from Linlithgow Academy in Scotland as they endeavoured to launch a healthy take-away business. This was filmed for a three-part documentary series that was aired on BBC2 in November 2013.

With a passion for Scottish ingredients, Mark uses only the very best local, seasonal produce, transforming them with modern techniques. Mark’s signature style is desserts; a visit to Restaurant Mark Greenaway is an invitation to indulge in dessert.

His career began in Scotland in 1992, but Mark gained valuable experience during a five-year spell in Australia, working at some of the nation’s top establishments. On returning to Scotland, Mark continued his profession at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow, Kilcamb Lodge Hotel in Strontian and The Dryburgh Abbey Hotel in the Scottish Borders.

2016 saw the launch of Mark’s first cookbook, Perceptions – Recipes from Restaurant Mark Greenaway, which subsequently went on to win Best Cookbook in the World in the Chef Category 2017 from the Gourmand Book Awards. Featuring recipes that defy the much-misrepresented reputation of Scottish cuisine, the philosophy behind the book is to challenge perceptions of Scottish food by championing the world-class array of Scottish produce through fresh eyes, new techniques and beautiful recipes for the discerning cook.

Mark has taught at cookery schools in the Scottish capital and giving regular demonstrations at some of the country’s leading food festivals, including The Royal Highland Show, BBC Good Food Show, The Scottish Chefs Conference and Eat, Drink, Discover Scotland.
