Mason Belles Kitchen in West Lothian - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had afternoon tea here to celebrate my mum's 99th birthday. The food was incredible. However the staff really made it for us. They made such an effort to make my mum's experience so special. Thank you.

Service was bad. Our lunch took forever to arrive. The food was only partly eatable. The positive is that the bits that were eatable tasted ok. Poor value.

Tremendous food. Lovely wee cosy place. Will be back.

Great venue, relaxing & lovely garden. Went for 70th birthday celebration with Afternoon Tea, 16 of us. Wonderful experience, was amazing, so tasty and very different. Catered for veggies and dietary issues. Loads of it and coffee/tea was plentiful. Staff were so friendly and attentive, couldn’t do enough for us. Definitely the best AT I’ve had in a long time, will be back.

I've been so many times to this restaurant and it always delivers on exceptional quality. Amazing food and if you go during they week they do some really good deals. Staff always lovely too, it's a real hidden gem.

Large group menu was a little less than their standard but food was great and service decent

I loved this restaurant, super cozy, very good service and above all the EXCELLENT food. I recommend it if you want to spend a pleasant time with a super meal.

Excellent food, it’s not your pub style menu but the food will satisfy your pallet and leave you full. Staff were great and very friendly, couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Stumbled across this little place and immediately knew I wanted to have dinner there so we went the next day. Food was outstanding, scallops were delicious and the flavours were so vibrant. Maple chicken for the main and equally as delicious. Staff were super friendly and inviting, lovely atmosphere will definitely be back.

What a great little find this was, perfect ambience, comfortable with a lovely garden view and the staff are so friendly and professional…Blonde girl who served us was lovely I wish she had told us her name. And the food :) wow really really nice. The black pudding with Pork! The scallops :) - all of it! If you see this review ignore it and don’t book a table so we can always get a seat when we want one :) Best restaurant in Linlithgow

Nice setting, especially to eat in the garden area in the summer. We went for a Sunday lunch. Did not have a starter. Took an hour to be served our main course. When it arrived, the meat was delicious but some of the vegetables were very under cooked. Couldn't even cut through the parsnips. They did offer to take the parsnips away and cook them some more but it didn't seem worth it as we were half way through the meal. Dessert was quite good. Limited child's choices. We saw an Afternoon Tea being served and that looked very nice.

We been living in the area for a lot of years and only discovered this little gem recently. The food is 10 out of 10 and you can taste the love. It's rare to find a nice Bistro in Scotland that serves amazing food. Try them out, you won’t be disappointed.

Ultra friendly welcome to the smart, but cosy space. Enjoyed the fab cocktails, before moving on to some super tasty food. A good range of food options, really well executed, with a modern twist. A really relaxed, enjoyable evening in lovely surroundings.

Found this place by accident while walking along the street, lucky to get a table without having a reservation. The food was delicious, the staff were lovely and the setting was perfect. Highly recommended!

Thoroughly enjoyed afternoon tea and the waiting staff were attentive but the experience was spoiled by the tables being too crammed together. The gentleman behind me and I were having to apologise to each other every time we moved.

I went with my husband to celebrate my birthday as I wanted to go to somewhere with fine dining and somewhere a bit more special and I was very happy that we went here as the food was amazing. For starter we had the potted beef (every table seemed to have 1 person pick this when we were in so it's very popular) and the monkfish pil pil. After a little bit of salt on the pil pil it was truly amazing. Both were very flavoursome. For mains I had the pork and husband had the chicken. Both were unbelievably tasty and well balanced and the jus's were out of this world. I had seen complaints about portion sizes when looking at reviews before going, but it is fine dining so I expected it not to be massive. That said you do eat slower to savour the tastes and flavours and I was pretty stuffed after starter and main. I really wanted to try a dessert so we shared the tea and biscuits, and I was so glad we did it was gorgeous. The lemon didn't really make sense to me on the dish as the other flavours are very subtle so it was too strong but it was a glorious dessert and was so glad we tried it. Overall service was a bit slow initially, we arrived at the same time as another couple and they got their drinks order taken and then cocktails delivered before anyone came to ask us for our drinks which was a bit annoying. The pinto grigio was lovely and my husband enjoyed the malbec. Overall a really outstanding meal and I have raved about it to everyone. We liked the place so much we booked to go again in a few weeks time to try their mid week menu.

Had a really good time. The food was amazing, the service was perfect. The manager was so lovely and welcoming. We were all treated so well and everything was delicious. Honestly couldn’t recommend more.

Lovely visit again to Mason Belle. The ambience in the restaurant is lovely and it always feels like you’re having a very special dining experience. Food was lovely again and service impeccable, although maybe a little on the slow side. There’s a fine line between feeling rushed and relaxed and I think this time was a little long but this is not a complaint, just an observation. There was a slight concern regarding portion size. My partner ordered the beef which was a fairly small portion but we thought this was just the norm. However the table beside us ordered the same dish and their portions looked nearly double the size. He did still leave feeling satisfied after his dessert but at the same time an underlying niggle that his meal had been significantly smaller than the average portion. The food was still delicious though and overall didn’t spoil our visit.

My husband and I had dinner last night at Mason Belle in Linlithgow and what a delightful dining experience we had! The restaurant is decorated to perfection with a chilled vibe that makes you instantly relax. The excellent food and exceptional service, particularly from the standout staff member, Hannah made our night one to remember. The monkfish and potato pil pil starter was delicious, so tasty. The clever twist on tea and biscuits for dessert adds a playful yet sophisticated touch to the meal. A memorable culinary journey awaits at Mason Belle, I would highly recommend it. We will definitely be back!

Had afternoon tea at Mason Belle Kitchen today and it was absolutely stunning. I love going for afternoon tea and I can honestly say this is my favorite one I have ever had. It was a tasting plate mixed with hot and cold food and scones and tasting desserts from the menu...delish. I was amazed hoe inexpensive it was. Well worth the £19 pr person. So impressed I bought vouchers for birthday gifts. I am planning my next trip. Loved it x

Really enjoyed it, great friendly service, good food.

I’ve been a few times previously and had good experiences but our last one was a real disappointment. Hadnt been for 3 years when they had a separate vegan menu and the food was great. Imaginative and well presented with good service. But this visit was pretty awful. We were shown to our table by a new inexperienced server who in all honesty, shouldn’t be on the floor himself. We waited 20 mins to give a drinks order despite the small restaurant not being full. My partners cocktail came quickly after but was the worst mojito anyone has ever made. One mint leaf and no fresh lime?! My wine never appeared. So after another 20 mins I had to approach the bar since no one had came near us to ask about my drink and complain about the cocktail which was switched for a beer. So 40 mins in we ordered, mains only because it had been such a disaster up to this point. I ordered the vegan option, checking did it come vegan or need amended. Server said he didn’t know. I said well can you check? He never returned. The food was brought out and I was told this was the vegan version, which needed a sauce switched, but who knows if it was. Food was very underwhelming for the price, my cauliflower steak at £21 was over priced and lukewarm. The pork belly was good but portion small even with an added side of truffle fries. My wine was removed from the bill for waiting for so long without having to complain but it wasnt really good enough. Tables beside us also were complaining after a ridiculously long wait for desserts so it was def a bad night. Either way, I won’t be returning which is a shame, it used to be a great venue.

I won't be back.  I'm Gluten intolerant,  ordered chicken burger. Which came stacked with a few chips.  Whatever the meat was it was spongy and jelly like under my knife. Also the chicken was pink in places which I told the young server. He took the plate away, came back with an explanation which I did not understand. I made the decision not to cause any fuss. Left what was on the plate. I was not looking for a refund, not my style. I eat out a lot and can differentiate between good food and not good food. This is overpriced underwhelming food. I have been going here since it was Livingstone's, which was a fine dining restaurant.. This lot are running on the back of the reputation of Livingston's

I ordered the belly pork. The parmentier potatoes couldn’t have been cut any smaller. Braised chorizo was so thin and crisp. Pork belly ,looked burnt on the plate. The crust was inedible. The whole dish was barely warm. A great disappointment at £21.50

Went for the Mother's day Afternoon tea. Wished I'd gone for the 2 course lunch instead. Busy atmosphere for Mothering Sunday.

Lovely food and service. I noted on my reservation that it was a birthday celebration and we received a complimentary drink, a nice touch and appreciated. Food was a little but different and very tasty. Stylish restaurant, a very enjoyable dinner. Thank you.

Very busy small restaurant. We ordered 4 starters on a la carte menu. The food was hot and tasty but the place was quite noisy on a Sunday evening full of kids running around the place

We were here because I was given a birthday gift of a voucher for afternoon tea for two - which was much appreciated. It was even more appreciated when we discovered that this was no ordinary afternoon tea. We started with a lovely wee cup of delicious soup which was followed by a selection of savoury and sweet treats - and not a limp or dried out sandwich in sight!!! There were savoury mushrooms, tempura battered fish, haggis sausage rolls and red pepper bruschetta. Then scones with home made jam and cream, sticky toffee pudding pieces, a set mousse and lovely little filled shortcake biscuits. Everything was delicious and we could wash it all down with tea, coffee or hot chocolate - we had pots of tea. The service was very personal and friendly and we'd recommend this as the truly different afternoon tea experience. The selection changes all the time and we look forward to going again for some new treats!

Afternoon tea to celebrate my mother-in-law 's 91st birthday. As always the food was amazing! A very different type of food but much better than just sandwiches and cake!

Absolutely lovely staff and atmosphere in this cosy little restaurant. The food was amazing - the newly added venison carpaccio is highly recommended! Chicken supreme main was also very delicious :)

Firstly I have to say how pleasant the staff were. They seemed genuinely interested in giving good service: nothing was a trouble. Nice ambience. People having their meals without fuss or noise. Food was amazing. Well presented with a great variety; imaginative and great taste. Thoroughly enjoyed an unhurried, relaxed evening. Thank you.

Another lovely meal. The new menu was great. Looking forward to our next visit.

Went for an early evening pre-booked family festive dinner. The restaurant was quiet when we arrived. The restaurant is not large, but the tables were adequately spaced in the dining area. We were asked to select our complete meal as the kitchen is small and this would assist the chef with meal planning and prevent undue waiting between courses. Meals and drinks were ordered. Throughout the evening our drinks requests proved something of an issue. We were continually being advised that what we had ordered was finished. This even included the non-alcoholic and soft drinks. The food eventually arrived, and although well presented, the portion size was small, warm rather than hot, and the taste was unremarkable considering the premium price paid. Lengthy delays were incurred between removing finished dishes and serving up the next course. Empty drinks glasses and bottles cluttered up our table – not ideal when we had three under 5’s with us. Overall we found the service to be extremely poor, and the attitude of some staff curt. It may well have been the time of year, as there did not appear to be sufficient staff on, and those that were appeared to be stretched. To cap what was a poor evening: a 12.5% service charge added to our bill!!

We had the festive lunch menu and it was excellent. The quality of the food was terrific as was the service from our waitress.

Visited to try the festive menu. What can I say… delicious food, well presented and a lovely atmosphere. Couldn’t fault the food or the service. Thank you for a lovely meal.

Had a really disappointing experience at this restaurant. They took over a half hour to even come and take a drinks order when we first got there, then it took almost another half hour for some of those drinks to come - and at that point they came to say they didn't have x and z item. This is usually fine, but why did it take them a half hour from taking the order to telling us. They also then had no craft beers, no malbec, no lemonade. The food itself was fine and the place was nicely styled. But the service entirely let it down. Everything needed to be repeated several times, drinks took ages to be brought. Every ask seemed to inconvenience the staff. I wouldn't return to this restaurant and I wouldn't recommend it.

Afternoon tea was beautiful. It’s was presented very well. With a cauliflower and sage soup with to our surprise was lovely. It’s a hidden place which added to the experience. It was snowing which made the dining a lot better. Would recommend too anyone within Linlithgow.

It is one of the best tasting restaurants in linlithgow and not overpriced, and the staff were so helpfully

Lovely meal with my husband. Very friendly staff. Great selection of starters, mains and deserts. Food was delicious and reasonably priced, with the exception of the chessboard which we found very disappointing.

What a wonderful little restaurant. It’s been a while since visiting but still continues to keep its high standards. Staff were so friendly and helpful from start to finish, they honestly couldn’t do enough to make sure our visit was one to remember. The food was absolutely outstanding, it’s one of those meals where you don’t want it to end. I had the mushrooms auld reekie to start and my husband had the haggis Bon bons, for mains we had the roast chicken breast and the wild mushroom gnocchi. We can’t wait to return to sample the festive menu. Thanks for an amazing experience Mason Belles.

From start to finish, superb. Very friendly service, attentive but not invasive. WE went for the same special - venison, and it was like angels massaging our taste buds. Portions were just right.

Really lovely restaurant serving excellent, freshly cooked local food. I had the auld reekie mushrooms which were absolutely delicious, a burger which was faultless and the most luxuriant, smooth, rich chocolate ganache. I was very impressed with the quality and care put into the dishes and can thoroughly recommend.

Excellent meal, my granddaughter was also made very welcome. Children's menu was also very good. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Visited here whilst staying in the area en route to Skye and we were very pleased with our selection. Staff were friendly and efficient the the food was of good quality. We were sufficiently impressed by our initial visit that we rebooked for when we again stayed in Linlithgow on our return journey from Skye and we were again impressed by the food and staff. We would not hesitate to return if in the area again.

Lovely wee restaurant. First visit. Can’t fault it. Good service, lovely food, warm and cosy. A lovely evening. Went with friends

Fabulous food, beautifully presented at a reasonable price. Helpful, friendly staff. Highly recommended

Amazing experience at Mason Belles Kitchen! The decor is lovely and the atmosphere is very relaxed and professional. The service was excellent, the staff were so friendly, welcoming and attentive. The food was amazing! Everything tasted so good and you can tell it’s be very fresh. I had a salted caramel ganache dessert and it was one of the best deserts I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend a visit to this lovely restaurant.

My husband and I had the most wonderful meal at Mason Belles shortly after our arrival in Linlithgow. In fact it was so good we booked again for later in the holiday. The menu is varied and has something for everyone: dishes are beautifully presented. The mussels are spectacular and I can highly recommend the cocktails. The dining areas are comfortable and leave plenty of room between tables. Staff are professional but friendly and ensure that diners have the best experience. Unfortunately I have forgotten the name of the waitress who served us (16th and 23rd August), but a big thank you to her for making both evenings special. It is a popular restaurant, so be sure book well in advance.

Awful experience, incompetent manager. No draught beers. Warm bottles of lager (only 2 choices) far too hot in restaurant. Reception area a mess. Food way overpriced for what it is. Tables crammed together. Would not recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit here. Met with friendly staff at the door and we were very well looked after. It was very relaxed and the food we had was of a very high standard. My main meal had a number of elements and they were all perfectly cooked. It will be easy to return hopefully soon.

This restaurant is absolutely wonderful. What an absolute Linlithgow gem! We dined here on Saturday and talked about it since. It's so lovely to go to a restaurant and be overwhelmed by the quality. Place is very cosy feeling and comfortable. The food... absolutely stunning! The quality of the ingredients was very evident. And the portion size was perfect. I had the bang bang cauliflower, then pork loin, and sticky toffee pudding. So lovely! Well done to all who work there! Great job! Can't wait to come back here again.

Food was excellent. The portion sizes were just right and everything was delicious. The staff were very attentive. Prices are very reasonable. We look forward to another visit soon.

Lovely Sunday Roast Lunch, great set menu and really nice atmosphere. Friendly staff, Beautiful Garden.

I was looking forward to visit this restaurant for ages, the name of the restaurant itself it’s beautiful but the food was a bit disappointing, this was the restaurant in falkirk maybe the one In Linlithgow is better. I had the calamari for starter which was soggy and stacked up with tempura vegetables underneath to make up for volume and it was also soggy. For Main I had chicken Caesar salad which was sold in bits, add on chicken, add on bacon which was actually ham and not crispy and all, the croutons were deep fried but very soggy and not crunch. I guess the salad price is just the lettuce, onions and the dressing? For a main it was ridiculously small and the dressing left a lot to wish for, it’s a shame because the best part was the sticky toffee pudding for dessert. It was ok overall but I won’t be rushing to come back.

Tasty food at reasonable prices. Young waiter attentive, polite and friendly. Would recommend to any visitors.

Highly recommend, afternoon tea was delicious and a little different from the usual sandwiches. The ambiance was relaxed and cosy, will definitely be booking again superb

Very nice food we had the lunchtime £16 menu but my only issue was there was only one vegetarian main option. Starter for vegetarian was a choice of soup or mushrooms which were very good. They also have a nice outdoor seating area if the weather is good.

Fantastic place, beautiful garden, tasty food.

Varied menu and good service. My steak was full of gristle and I brought it to staffs attention but they never acknowledged it. Otherwise all good and I would return

Excellent meal great variety of choices on the menu. attentive staff overall a great experience I would definitely recommend a visit

Excellent food great choice on menu The service was very good I would recommend highly

Sunday lunch pre booked and we found a nice airy tucked away eatery with a sunny patio and garden area. A set 2 course menu but with an £8 supplement for a “roast”. Starters good. Roasts disappointing. Chewy cubes of meat, potatoes were not roasts...

I have eaten here a few times and the food and service is always impeccable. Visited last night and food distinctively average and a little bland. Service was still top notch but the food left me a little underwhelmed this time. I’m hoping this was...

Hidden wee gem, we totally stumbled across this place but the food was really delicious and the service was perfect.

Really great afternoon tea, not the standard sandwiches, but lots of nice small savoury snacks based on their mains, really clever way to do it Only downside, is that it's not the best disabled access, had my dad in the wheelchair, had to go via the bottom doors, but the toilets are back up a couple of stairs. Best option is to wheel back round to the front door, which is doable but a bit of a faff

A true hidden gem, atmosphere, food, wine and staff were amazing, will sadly share lol and definitely be back 👏🏻

First time eating here after a friends recommendation. We had dinner, absolutely fabulous. Terrific food and service in lovely surroundings.

Many thanks to Lynsey & staff for a beautiful meal for my hubby's birthday. Food was delicious, friendly and helpful staff and lovely warm atmosphere, will definitely be back. Thank you to everyone.

Had to share the most perfect meal we had yesterday at Mason Belle. The food was outstanding, such a hidden gem. Service was excellent as well, can't wait to return, thank you so much Mason Belle.

The menu was varied and quite extensive. The meat was of good quality and carefully cooked, with interesting vegetable combinations. The setting was pleasant and relaxing, overlooking a garden. The service was attentive, friendly and professional.

Service was great, good was great.

I would give Mason Belles Linlithgow 10 stars if I could. This is truly a hidden gem, the decor is just beautiful and we were made to feel very welcome. We were served by Martin, he was friendly and checked in on us and made sure we were comfortable. We had afternoon tea and it was delicious. Not your normal afternoon tea, they have smaller pieces of their actual menu! The platter was so colourful and the food and cakes packed a punch. I became obsessed with their pesto and they were very kind enough to give me a tub!!! We will certainly be back. Thank you again.

Very nice indeed, will definitely return.

Perfect service, nice ambiance, great food, a really nice restaurant with a beautiful garden and great food

We had a fantastic lunch, all our food was amazing, our waitress “Hannah” was lovely and very efficient. I require a gluten free diet, this was catered for, with plenty of options, a real treat. We were on a canal holiday wish we had found...

Lovely restaurant, waiter attentive, food superb. We will most definitely be back!

We chose the lunch deal, 2 courses for £16. Service was very good. The food was hot and tasty. The wine was perfectly chilled. This restaurant is in a lovely setting, only a minute's stroll off the High Street. Thankfully this isn't a fast food...

Lovely cosy restaurant with decent gluten free options for our party. Food delicious. Only downside is found service a tad slow. Will certainly be back though.

We went for a family lunch and the service was appallingly bad. We had called earlier in the day to say could we shift our booking by 15 mins and were told this wasn’t possible as the kitchen would be too busy and we might...

Lovely atmosphere, very attentive and knowledgeable staff. Food was of excellent quality and taste. Highly recommended.

The vegetables were to hard and my roast beef was under cooked asI like well done Starts&dessert were delicious

Came back for a second time after a really positive experience after a first visit. Very disappointed. Food was average to below average. My main course was awful. Complained it was not to my liking twice but nothing was done. £120 for dinner for 2 people and left unhappy. Won't be back. Would have been nice if the cost of the main had been deducted from the bill.

Was fine but better places in Linlithgow to eat.

My wife and I had a lunch at Mason Belles Kitchen in Linlithgow. It is tucked away down a lane off the High Street. The ambience of the restaurant was lovely. The service was first class and the food was good. We will be back.

First time here and defo not my last , we had afternoon tea it was amazing soup was to die for and was the wraps and scones , service was outstanding, young guy was very polite and well mannered. We defo be back with my husband, would recommend it highly

Great food. Great wine. Great service. First time here for celebratory (significant) birthday meal. Couldn't fault it. Beautiful mushroom sauce with the roast chicken. Novel twist to sticky toffee (apple) pudding... with tablet ice cream. Yum!

Really taking the micky, especially with special which we weren't even told the price of. Small portions, icee cream flavour changed without telling us, poor service, and toilets smelled revolting. I really felt cheated. I don't mind paying extra for great food but this wasn't,...

We had a lovely super tasty afternoon tea today which everyone enjoyed and was impressed with. Savoury treats were brilliant- a bit different from the norm which turned out to be a really great surprise. We’ll definitely be back.

We booked a table last week, is a fantastic place for dinner. Little hidden gem I think I read somewhere and it's true. Lighting and mood was lovely. The place looks beautiful and cozy . The staff were fantastic, attentive but not over the top in any way. The food was the best I have had in a long time! It was hot , clearly made from scratch and with fresh produce. The menu is forever changing so when I looked it up I found the wrong one .. but that's just because I'm a picky eater, the choice when we were in was brilliant. Price - I will not complain was worth every penny, however the card machine didn't seem to have a tip option so if that's something you like to do carry cash. To be honest that was my only disappoint was I didn't have a note in my purse to leave with the bill. Will be back Our photos do not do the justice that the chef deserves

Called at last minute on off chance of getting a lunch booking. Very accommodating girl on phone helped fit us in. Btw, as it was last minute, we didn't know where we were going or what to expect but we certainly weren't disappointed. Service was...

Another great meal at Mason Belle. The food and service were excellent and up to their usual high standard. We had the tortillas with hummus to share which was really good. Starters were smoked haddock chowder and mussels in a curry sauce. Mains were slow...

Afternoon tea here was fabulous. Innovative and beautifully served. Lovely setting and friendly waiting staff. Will recommend and definitely plan more visits.

Visited for Valentine’s dinner and had the tasting menu. Food was absolutely fantastic, every course a delight. Service attentive and friendly. And surroundings beautiful and also very relaxed. Honestly couldn’t fault it.

A lovely restaurant, service was fantastic and food was outstanding will definitely be back

This definitely is a Hidden Gem. We went for the High Tea but it was different to other High Teas I have had. Instead of getting sandwiches you get a cup of soup followed by a selection of 5 mini items which are found on the main meal menu. Then you get a selection of 4 lovely desserts followed by a scone with Jam & cream. The atmosphere is very pleasant. I will be going back to have something from the main meal that I sampled on the High Tea menu. The young gentleman who served us was very pleasant and courteous. He couldn't have treated us any better than he did. A lovely day out catching up with friends in a very homely eatery.

Thought we would try since it became MBK. It was OK. Service was generally good if a little stretched. Menu looked good but was a little under whelmed. Calamari and onion bhaji was disappointing calamari a bit lost and overall a bit stodgy. My sweet...

Sub zero temperatures outside last night and when we arrived the radiators were not working. Some attempt was made to rectify this but didn't amount to anything. The venison was chewy and should have been warmer and my partner's bhaji serving was luke warm. Overheard...

Excellent ambience, friendly service, great food, reasonably priced too.

Heading says it all really! Everything was just amazing. Food was sensational, staff were lovely and service was great. First visit to this restaurant, can't wait to go back. Absolutely top notch 👌
