Scott's bistro in Stirling

+ Good location, plenty of parking available, dog friendly - Portrays itself as fine dining on the website, however the food is more like pub grub. Fish chowder was more like a vegetable soup with minimal fish in it. Despite staff being polite, they would congregate at the bar and watch whilst we eat our meal, at times being overly-attentive and felt like they wanted to rush us out of the door. Overpriced for the food and experience. service - 6 food - 6 venue - 5

Located at the back of the HPB Tigh Mor site this restaurant is one of very few in the area. Positives:- great to have an on site restaurant if you’re an HPB resident. Front of house staff welcoming, reasonably attentive and friendly. Negatives:- My wife’s ’chowder’ starter wasn’t creamy at all - it should have been described as a fish soup. Our main courses however were really poor- one was a schnitzel that was dry; mine was salmon served on a potato rosti with shredded cabbage. The sauce was tasteless & the rosti was black & cremated - with the inside being under cooked. Inedible! How anyone doesn’t realise this when plating up is beyond me - but perhaps all was revealed when our complaint managed to get the chef to show his face. What an arrogant man - he blamed his ingredients NOT his eyesight or his attention to detail. They did however deduct the main courses from the bill, so my thanks for that- but they need a better chef!

Un des meilleurs services que nous avons eu durant nos 3 semaines en ecosse. Les boissons arrivent avant les plats qui s’enchaînent au bon rythme. Cuisine délicieuse et prix très corrects pour la qualité. Réservation à prévoir même pour le déjeuner.

Visited twice, once of an evening and once for Sunday lunch. We might well have gone a third time for the weekly HPB dinner but their inability/refusal to produce a menu (despite several requests on our part) prior to the event so we could see what we would be getting for our money meant that we took our money elsewhere. Evening meal. - I had the haggis bon bons followed by the beef bourguignon. The mustard sauce was nice but the bon bons tasted very much like black pudding. The bourguignon seemed have been heavily laced with paprika, not a normal ingredient for this dish. I could not eat it all, it repeated on me all night and may have made me feel ill. The Sunday lunch was fine. In my view the portion sizes were a bit on the small side and the main could have been hotter. Service was good. The man in charge made sure we were seated promptly and the order taken in a timely manner.

We walked down from Ben Ann and had Sunday lunch, great service made to feel very welcome. Freshly cooked food, great flavours, thank you.

Sunday lunch. Honest opinion. Hard to find. Not enough signage to direct you. Overpriced and underwhelming. food If you were a good cook you could have produced better. Limited veg selection, Over baked roast potatoes and root veg. No gravy ,and no offer of sauces. Saving grace, Good service. Nicely decorated and appointed position

We found the service to be very friendly informative and efficient. The menu was interesting and varied. Each dish was well presented and the quality was excellent. The preparation was obviously very important to the chef and the dishes reflected that

From the minute you walk in you feel welcome and the place has a lovely cosy feel about it. The service was excellent from start to finish and the food was absolutely amazing! We highly recommend!

Where do you start….. What a great night my partner and I had here. From the look and feel of the place to the service and the food we were both blown away and loved every minute of our experience. We had 3 courses and drinks which were all outstanding and the burger has to be the best I have ever had it was so flavoursome and juicy I was going to order another one but was told no by the now x girlfriend 😂 We will definitely be back and would recommend this bistro to anyone reading this or looking for a great meal . Well done all the staff and we will see you again very soon

This was a lovely restaurant with good food. Our meal this time was a very poor experience. Skipped starters and had fish and chips and sea trout. Two very small portions of haddock in soft bater on a pile of dark brown chips with a little sad salad side. When we asked for the chips to be replaced with non burnt ones we were informed they were triple cooked! I insisted and they were replaced. The sea trout was over cooked and dry and served with a large pile of chorizo and chick peas in a tomato sauce which totally obscured any remaining taste of the trout. Decided to pass on puddings and leave. When the bill arrived VAT was added to the price of the food, this is not mentioned on the menu. Will not be returning under current management, think twice before you book here.

Fantastic Mothers Day Lunch, really good food and choice, fantastic service and made to feel extremely welcome. We Will definitely be back for dinner, great asset to the area, well done and thank you.

Ate here as it was the number 1 rated we were staying in Callander. The surroundings were nice and the gentleman who showed us to our table and served us was lovely. My partner had soup to start and I had the black pudding Bon Bons both were tasty. My partner then had the fish and chips which he said were fine. However my main course was a let down I had the burger with fries. The burger was rather small for the price and was as dry as a bone. The fries were only mediocre I left the majority of the burger. I did explain to the gentleman why I hadn’t finished it and he did apologise. But it ended up being an expensive meal

We dined at Scott’s whilst staying at Tigh Mor. It was absolutely fabulous! The food was delicious and of a very high quality and the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. The food was very well presented, we had pate and beetroot salad to start, chicken and the pork belly then lemon posset and chocolate pudding for dessert. I recommend highly. We also visited on another occasion for a few drinks and ended up having the cheese board too which was generous and again delicious. We look forward to returning again…thank you!

We chose Scotts Bistro at Tigh mor for a special occasion family Dinner and I cannot praise it enough. From the Welcome to the Dessert it was a lovely, perfect evening. The Dinner menu had something to suit us all - party of 8 and there were clear plates all round. The Chef and Team are to be congratulated - Priced very affordably, Service was friendly but professional and the general ambience just so comfortable. We are quite a picky bunch normally but we will most certainly be back. Thank You Scotts Bistro!

Delicious and varied menu choices with a welcoming service in a nicely relaxed atmosphere. Everything we tried was tasty and well-prepared with some very tempting desserts (just when you think you can't manage any more!)

Scott's Bistro is an understated, quietly impressive restaurant tucked away to the rear of the Tigh Mor holiday complex overlooking the western corner of Loch Achray, close to the Ben A’an car park. We were staying at Tigh Mor and ate there twice, but it is available to all. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, the service is friendly and efficient and the menu is varied, including dishes using many locally sourced ingredients. On both evenings that we dined, all of our starters, mains and sweets were super tasty, filling and perfctly cooked. Consistently an excellent and enjoyable dining experience., Highly recommended. Booking is advised.

Very nice food, nicely prepared but quite expensive in comparison. 2 or 3 course option, what if you only want one? Menu on blackboard is ok but writing small for the type of customer! Bit of a barn layout, could go with some partitions? Lovely staff, helpful great location of course and will go again. Thank you.

Amazing value..set prices for either a 2 or 3 course meal. Good choices for all 3 courses. Warm welcome and great service means nothing not to like . The cooking is superb , inventive choices using locally sourced ingredients. Most importantly the ambience is warm and relaxed so the whole experience is more intense. Reasonably priced wines. Loved it .

Our go to place to eat in the area. Food and service is always great. Mark and his team are always lovely. Steaks are the best you will get in the area!

A fantastic place to eat, magnificent setting to spend a relaxing few hours... food was exceptional and Prasad made us very welcome. The waiter ( sorry, didn't get his name) was perfectly attentive. An ideal evening, thank you.

Excellent freshly cooked food with friendly service. Good choice of menu, in stunning location. The fish was cooked perfectly. Very good value for money

Coming from NY, the best meal we had in Scotland. You will not be disappointed. Maitre D' and Staff were welcoming, friendly, the service was excellent so were the wine choices. Priced very reasonably,

Excellent food and service. Very knowledgeable staff, able to describe meals and ingredients Happy to cater for vegan and other dietary requirements.

My husband and I both had fabulous evening meals with excellent service, including requesting one meal to be a Low FODMAP meal as I have some food intolerances. This was executed with total care - I explained the ingredients my gut doesn’t cope with and given options that would suit me. As the food is prepared whilst we were there this was done to perfection . We are looking forward to our next meal at Scott’s Bistro in a few days time.

Lovely location on Loch Achray in the Holiday Property Bond site.. Had 2 meals over our week stay at Tigh Mor. 1st meal (we all had different options) was very good but 2nd was poor. Disappointed in the Cullen Skink and venison (served in what seemed to be over seasoned soup). Overpriced at £28 for 2 courses. Nice relaxing atmosphere and good friendly service. Small wine list, although reasonably priced. Limited sweet options.

Very friendly hosts and tasty well priced food. Great with my 8 year old child and happy to accommodate kids.

Visited twice as part of a Family trip to the HPB Tigh Mor Trossachs site during Half Term. Firstly a big call out to Prasad and Mark - great hosts, fantastic banter and amazing service. They both took time to genuinely engage with the younger members of our party (aged between 8 and 10) which was hugely appreciated. The food was fantastic - between our group we tried the Fish, Steak, Pork and chicken - all were amazing. The food is very fresh, great flavour and good sides… exactly what you want! The deserts were also popular… particularly the Sticky Toffee Pudding The restaurant is set slightly off the beaten track, but is set in a stunning part of Scotland - overlooked by the amazing Loch Achray and Ben A’an. It is definitely worth the drive

Five of us had a lovely meal at Scott’s bistro last weekend. Clean plates all round! Every single dish we ordered was great. Photo of the game sausage and mash attached. Head waiter, Prasad was fantastic- efficient but friendly. We’d love to come back.

Worth the drive out! We were staying in Callander and booked dinner on the strength of the reviews. Even though it's a 15 minute drive out, we were very glad we did as everything about the restaurant is excellent. Service was faultless and the prices...

All 3 courses were excellent, and each of the 3 of us ordered different options. Service was excellent, as well as being friendly & welcoming. It is not cheap, but, equally, it is not over priced. I would definitely go back.

I've dined here the last 4 years when on holiday. It's an exceptional place. Food is amazing. Staff are super friendly. Location is fantastic. I'll always come back :)

Superb meal for 6 reunited friends. One a Scot loved the haggis and said it was the best venison he'd ever eaten. Excellent lamb shank, cajun chicken....and mocha pot to die for. Knew of staffing problems, but not at all evident. Thank you so much

This is part of the HPB site and not open to the general public - we believe? Good quality food and a pretty reasonable price

Excellent meals on two occasions and felt very safe. Booking a must especially if staying at Tigh Mor as nearest alternative a long drive away.

Another great meal with family. Attentive service, great portion sizes, nicely cooked and with garlic free pate for the beef welligton made on pre ordered request. Nice atmosphere. Will be back in 2022.

Ate here twice during our holiday. Couldn't fault the food or service. Greeted warmly by Prasad who always remarks on my campervan, he even knows it's me when I phone to book.

Have eaten here a couple of times a year for past 13 years and have always had a superb meal and the value is excellent. Love Scott's bistro. The staff are super friendly.

We had supper at Scotts when we stayed at HPB Tigh Mor for a week. We have previously eaten at Scotts before. The food is just superbly cooked by Mark and his team and is served by Prasad. The surroundings are relaxed and smart and...

I picked up on Scott’s Bistro from Tripadvisorsr reviews. It’s not somewhere you drive past, but absolutely worth the trip. Friendly welcome in a charming informal setting. Front of house were excellent in their advice and back of house clearly very accomplished too. Wonderful food,...

Fabulous meal here, staff very welcoming and friendly. Very clean and tidy place Definitely recommend a visit.

Efficient restaurant with many culinary delights. Be warned, must book ahead, gets booked up with HPB members and locals.

Excellent meal and lovely location. The staff were super friendly and attentive who took the time to chat to us and ask how everything was. We really enjoyed our meal and would definitely recommend eating here.

Lovely setting and restaurant. Staff friendly and attentive. We had 2 courses for £23.50. Burger salad (frozen)chips and desert is therefore a bit pricey. Desert was not home made and would ehave expected it to be for for this price.

Have been to this bistro many times now. The staff are always friendly, attentive with a relaxed service. The menu is priced as a 2 course or 3 course option and every meal we’ve had has been excellent. The lamb shank being the stand out...

The guys at Scott’s Bistro were so friendly and welcoming it was a joy to eat here twice whilst staying close by. The food was delicious and filling. My only piece of constructive feedback would be to provide some more vegetarian options.

The positives- this restaurant is situated in a fantastic location in the grounds of the HPB property at Tigh Mor . The staff were very attentive and helped to create a very relaxing atmosphere The negatives- The main course chicken was in part chewy and...

We dined on three consecutive evenings. The quality of the food & attentiveness of the service were faultless. Only slight negative - due to Covid, menu at door had to be memorised but not really a problem.

Lovely small comfortable restaurant, good menu and friendly service, all in a gorgeous setting. Quite busy so worth booking early.

This was our second visit to Scott’s, having previously attended a Bondholders’ dinner there in July 2019. We enjoyed it even more this time around! The service is so friendly and professional - nothing is too much trouble for the lovely staff. One waiter in...

Being based at Callander, Scott's Bistro is not too far away, and is the perfect place to treat yourself. Gret choice of food, everything pefectly cooked, and very professional service. Above all, the place is extremely welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent meal, friendly, attentive staff, good menu choice, well presented, good child menu, worth driving the windy road to get there

Lovely place staff very good and helpful, really enjoyed the for even went back. Nice location with a visit, they also have other Scott’s in other locations. Would recommend.

Amazing three course meal in a beautiful setting. All food was delicious and enjoyed thoroughly and the service by all staff was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone in the area.

A very good main course but an odd misunderstanding with the waiter (not something that had happened to us before) marred the second half of the evening, which was a shame.

We manage to get the last booking left on Saturday night, only because someone had cancelled, it was my wedding anniversary and we were stay at lock Katrine echo lodges with our friends. The food was just amazing, some of the best I have had...

Scott’s bistro provides excellent quality food at reasonable prices. 2 course or 3 course fixed price menu. Beautiful desserts. Thoroughly recommend. Felt very Covid safe - all measures in place.

Not to be confused with Scotts Restaurant and Bar in South Queensferry, Troon and Largs (which are good by the way) Scotts Restaurant in Tigh Mor (part of the HPB complex) is a level above. Excellent local produce at very reasonable set rates for 2/3...

Stayed at HPB Tigh Mor, so Scott's bistro was very convenient. Had dinner there 3 times during our stay. Fixed price menu with choice of 2 or 3 courses.Menu is not extensive, but there are daily specials as well, so did not repeat any dishes during our visits.Very COVID safe.Recommended!

The team at Scott's gave us a memorable experience during our holiday near Loch Achray. We booked three evenings and had marvelous service and top quality food each evening. Coupled with several nights pre-dinner drinks on a sunny terrace, we thoroughly enjoyed our dining at Scott's. Highly recommended and a warm welcome. Thanks Lou & Ian

Scott’s Bistro is an absolute gem of a place. Serving delicious food and wine in excellent surroundings. We went twice during our stay and can recommend the lamb shanks and Cajun chicken. The sticky toffee pudding was excellent too! Thanks to all the team for their friendly and attentive service. We’ll be back.

Excellent menu using the best Scottish ingredients. Mark and his team have run easily the best restaurant in the area for well over a decade and maintained high standards throughout. The food is good quality and nicely presented and the staff friendly and attentive. Also probably the best view from any restaurant in the trossachs too.

It's been five years since we last visited and we were so pleased to find the same high quality food and excellent service we remembered. With the lockdown there was no wine to be had at dinner which was strange, but we were just pleased to be there for three evenings during our week at Tigh Mor. Fabulous food and the three course menu is excellent value. Had different starters, mains and puds on each day and there were sadly things left untried on the menu! We'll have to come back again and it definitely won't be another five years.

Scott’s Bistro is one of our favourite restaurants In the UK, so we were delighted to discover it open despite new restrictions which coincided with our arrival last night. It feels a safe place to visit, there’s a warm welcome, and the food and service is excellent. There’s a very varied menu, including top-quality local products such as haggis, salmon and venison. Our starters were delicious and we really enjoyed our beautifully cooked and presented lamb shank, roast chicken with haggis, and pan-cooked duck breast main courses. The accompanying sauces were particularly good, e.g., the sage and bramble sauce with the duck. I’m adding pictures of our desserts, which were works of art, and tasted as good as they looked. Scott’s Bistro is a real gastronomic oasis. Let’s not forget that the ban on alcohol sales will make a hole in all restaurants’ profits, so every place that can open needs maximum support to ensure survival. It’s a real case of ‘use it or lose it’ - Scott’s Bistro would be a real loss.

We ate here three times on our recent visit to Tigh Mor. Very good service despite Covid restrictions. All the food is good, and the price for a 3 course meal very reasonable. It would be nice if the menu changed a little more frequently.

went here as we stayed at tigh mor.well worth booking well in advance.welcome was warm and friendly. the place is a little bit spoiled by covid distancing in terms of atmosphere I think but that is a minor niggle.the food was served promptly and looked excellent. the plates were piping hot which Is so rare these days. each dish made the best of its key ingredient. presentation simple and elegant. cooking superb. was delicious. I really enjoyed the desserts but somehow I found the plate decorations lacking the same level of class as the mains... someone had gone a bit mad with the sauces and fruit so the plate ended up looking quite gloopy and messy after a few bites. minor niggle I know and they were delicious.highly recommended.

Staying at Tigh Mor this week and decided to eat here three times. Staff are lovely and very keen to work safely. The food was wonderful - my husband had the haggis starter twice it was so good. I can recommend the Moroccan vegetable tagine and all the desserts were excellent.

We drove 20 minutes after seeing the reviews on trip advisor and it did not disappoint. So much choice and good portion sizes which we didn't expect for fine dining. Would definitely recommend the lamb shank, superb. Absolutely loved it. Covid measures in place. Beautiful scenery in the mountains too.

This is top of the range Scottish cooking, Packed with local ingredients and backed up by proactive service. The best COVID-19 awareness and attention to detail we encountered in Scotland. Does not get much better than this

All four of us felt very safe as the restaurant team takes customer wellbeing seriously, this made for a really relaxed meal. We were made to feel very welcome and the staff were attentive without being overbearing.The Haggis was exceptional as was the locally sourced Venison, the wine is reasonably priced with a good selection.Book early, go local (great local produce), relax, and enjoy. No hesitation in recommending this lovely Bistro.

We have recently returned from Tigh Mor after a short break.We ate dinner at Scott’s Bistro on three nights each night we had a lovely dinner in a very pleasant atmosphere even allowing for the Covid restrictions.We felt safe and could see for ourselves that all recommended measures were in place.All the food is freshly prepared and were possible local produce is used we both enjoyed the trout and the duck dishes.The staff are all very friendly and go the extra mile to accommodate your tastes where possible.

Had dinner tonight at Scott's and both my wife and I loved it. Restaurant is nicely setup, food brilliant and staff very welcoming. Highly recommended it.

Stunning location with amazing food - had an evening meal during August - food was delicious!!!!!!!I had the Haggis starter which was the best Haggis I’ve ever eaten - lamb shank for main and a chocolate mousse to die for ! we were a party of 5 and not one of us had a bad thing to say about it. Staff were friendly and attentive. I just wish we lived closer to go regularly- I may just need to book next years holiday close by just do that we can go back

We visited on short notice after reading other reviews and most of them being positive. We were not disappointed. Amazing food and very good service too. We couldn't find any fault with the food and the staff couldn't have been more helpful. We left feeling we had had very good value for money which we could not say about some other places that cost us more and didn't deliver. We will certainly be back if we are in the area again.

We have stayed at Tigh Mor before and sampled the food at Scott’s. It’s still excellent . Try the Cullen skink as a starter. It’s so good I had it on both occasions we ate here. My wife had the pate , which was fine . The lamb shank was enormous so a bit off putting if you aren’t a big eater. The chicken with haggis was actually rather good. The duck breast is also worth a try. The puddings are ok but not as good as the starters . Give them a miss if you are going to choose two out of three course.

Visited twice this weekend and had fantastic meals on both occasions with courteous service great choice of beers and wines. Quality produce excellently cook with beautiful presentation - credit to the Management on the whole experience. Have to add in the current climate felt very safe with appropriate Covid 19 measures in place.

Such a lovely warm welcome and very accommodating! We have been staying at Tigh Mor for years and love to come to Scott's while we are here and this time did not disappoint. The food was lovely and the service was above and beyond, made our evening! Considering the amount of customers, the owner and staff made service look effortless. Kind Regards, Melon no parma ham, chips and pepper sauce.

Our first meals post lockdown were at Scott’s at Tigh Mor on our recent stay. We have always enjoyed our food and the friendly, efficient service at Scott’s but as we hadn’t eaten out since the beginning of March we were a little anxious. We needn’t worry. One entrance, one exit, well spaced tables, evidence of good disinfection policy & pro active infection prevention. The food was excellent, as always, as was the service and even better value with the ‘Eat Out’ government scheme. The weather was fantastic with wonderful views. Well done too for introducing a snack & drinks menu from 3pm, with outside seating for enjoying the fantastic views.

Came here as part of our stay in the Trossachs. Good varied voice of starters and main courses. Found the food delicious and satisfying which was good seeing as we had climbed Ben A'an that afternoon!

Great location and food - worth the drive out to Lock katrineDelicious fresh haggis / large tender shank of lamb and well cooked steaks etc - table turnover is short but recommend making effort to drive out from Callander. Scott squeezed us in at late notice despite being busy

Superb service, fresh and delicious food, and amazing location. Excellent value for money. Highly recommend.

We visited Scotland post lockdown staying in Callendar for the first night. We decided to eat at Scott’s bistro based on Tripadvisor reviews and the experience did not disappoint. The Cullen skink starter was a delightful authentic taste of Scotland, highly recommended. Service was excellent, thank you!

Great place for dinner. Location is a bit special, quality of food and service excellent with mainly local produce on the menu. Good value.

Been coming for a meal every year we visit to Tigh Mor - 12 years now and as always it was a perfect end to our holiday. Delicious food served in a relaxed and comfortable environment and great customer service. Looking forward to the next visit.

Food is very good, priced sensibly. The service was perfect. All in all an enjoyable evening. In a lovely location.
