The best restaurants in Scotland

Burnt offerings for breakfast and it’s extorcianate won’t be back ever and when asked how was your breakfast told her terrible to be told oh sorry about that not good enough.

First visit for all of us….fantastic! Staff were very friendly, very attentive! We were shown all the different cuts of steak. Order was taken very quickly, prawn starter I had was very tasty. Three of the party had steak, everyone enjoyed them. One person had salmon which she said was good. Everyone enjoyed their dessert.

This is a really great little cafe, people are friendly and helpful but most of all it has great food and coffee with a genuine continental atmosphere . Love it

This bistro is 1.5 miles from the East end of Princes St. On the bus route up North & South bridge to Newington (about 10 minutes). This is small, friendly, elegant restaurant. The owner is so kind and welcoming. As local residents we love coming here as the quality of the ingredients and cooking is superb. It’s not your typical Indian menu. Dishes we enjoy are Crispy fried okra, Dirty Samosa chat, Prawn Malabar, Ghee roast chicken and Lal mas. They also serve a Tasting Menu. Vegetarian/Vegans also catered for. A small wine list. Would love to see a Tapss style evening event as their amuse bouche was outstanding.

We always visit Portmahomack on our annual holiday in the Highlands and have enjoyed several visits to the cafe. We found out last year that the cafe had changed hands and have visited again this year. Friendly staff and excellent food so still deserving of 5 stars.

A lovely local cafe, friendly and welcoming plus dog friendly. Small but very well done menu all made to order, sandwiches toasties and mains. Nice tea and coffee selection with scones and other tasty treats. Vegan and diary free available. If in the area again definitely coming back and will 'push Liz' s buttons '

So accommodating. Wonderful staff. Food perfect. Can't speak highly enough of the restaurant. The chicken with peppercorn sauce and the chicken with Diane sauce were so tasty.

The cakes, biscuits, slices are mouth-watering. A lot of vegan options as well.. I was just disappointed that I couldn't plonk myself down and try one of everything! The staff are so lovely.

Sit in or take-away this is an excellent restaurant for those with a palate for spice. Also very, very friendly service, always feel valued as a customer.

Excellent take away coffee by the Cromarty - Nigg ferry terminal. Lovely to sit outside on the Cromarty Firth. Lovely looking traybakes and cakes too. Very busy. Dog friendly inside.

Thank you for catering so well for gluten free. Gluten free cones and a lot of effort to avoid cross contamination. Done with a smile and no problem. Tubs don't cut it really (usual option for us gluten free folks) so to leave with a cone and a smile, just like other people, is fabulous.

Lovely little cafe, with friendly and helpful staff and a great selection of food. It was a perfect place to meet friends from Rome and the Netherlands. Our group ordered a wide variety of choices from the menu including the soup, Scottish breakfast, scrambled eggs and salmon, smoothies, waffles, carrot cake and tea - all delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the owl cushions very comfy. You could miss it walking by, but well worth searching it out and popping in. It extends a way back - a bit of a tardis for seating.

We had a delicious lunch here, having had a lovely coffee and cake a few days previous. . Friendly staff and tasty food and drinks on both occasions. View from the cafe was beautiful.

I've heard amazing things about this place from soooo many people and I couldn't agree more after finally visiting myself. The place was VERY busy. But I know this is a daily occurrence. It's popular because it does everything well and they handle how busy it is well. Service was amazing from everyone. Every person that served us did so with a smile and so efficiently. The food was so hot and fresh. The coffees were tasty and beautiful. Will 100% go back. These guys know what they're doing! 10/10.

We came across Robin's Nest by chance and were greeted in a warm friendly manner. I am on a Dairy Free Diet and the menu catered for all my needs. When we ordered coffee we were given an alternative choice of milks. The cakes were home made and delicious. I would highly. recommend this tea room
