The best restaurants in Scotland

Great coffee and bakery in a lovely shop. After a stop at the Oyster Shed grab a coffee, sit and enjoy! (The limit is 100!!!)

Delicious savoury and sweet food, freshly prepared, very friendly service. On a par with the best tea rooms anywhere in the world.

Excellent B&B with fabulous hosts, Jackie & John. We were a family of 3 adults staying for 3 nights in the 2 available bedrooms. Both rooms were spotless, comfortable, very well presented with very comfortable beds and good quality bedding. The rooms are en-suite with large walk in showers with plenty of hot water. If you are looking to stay in the area then my advice would be to book the Crown & Anchor as our experience was 100% positive. We couldn’t find fault with anything. The location is stunning and so peaceful. Breakfasts were delicious as was the food we had from the tea rooms downstairs. Jackie’s homemade Victoria sponge is to die for. We were made to feel so welcome and would book here again if we were to return to Dumfries and Galloway. Jackie and John, thank you both so much for making our holiday so enjoyable x

We stayed overnight in the B&B, and had the hairy coo themed afternoon tea. If you book an overnight stay, you get a private talk and opportunity to hand feed the coos in the morning. The food was delicious, it would never have occurred to me to make a toasted sandwich with french toast - an absolute revelation. We also opted for the full Scottish breakfast and it was delicious. This is a cosy family run business thats very welcoming. I would definitely go back. Make sure you book if you’re going peak season - we went the first weekend of their being open and it was steady traffic even during the off peak.

The best meal I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely outstanding. We went here whilst on holiday to celebrate my partners birthday. We wanted a special meal and wow did we get it. The restaurant is beautiful and intimate and right in the heart of Oban so very easy to walk to. Sitting at the chefs table watching him cook and hearing about how he sourced ingredients and about the local area was lovely. The food was indescribable it was simply stunning. We are still talking about the venison and scallops a week later. If you want something a little bit different and special this is it. We will definitely be back.

Stopped off whilst on an evening visit to South Queensferry. Loads of ice cream flavours to choose from despite some being sold out from earlier in the day. Gentleman who was serving was very professional and thanked us for stopping by as we were leaving.

Sadly the Biggar Flavour bakery shop closed on 29 June 2019. The owners continue to operate "The Orchard" next door where some of their bakery products are still made available along with jams, preserves, etc. The main difference is that they no longer provide sandwiches, ready made meals or hot savoury items.

Friendly staff, excellent pastries, above-average coffee. Not advisable for groups of more than 4, but perfect for couples or single people.

Very fun night out for us all. The staff were excellent and the food was great! Loved the whole experience. Also got to try 3 new beers you'd be hard pressed to find anywhere else in Glasgow. The mead was the best I've ever had.

Fantastic food: a novel, varied & delicious selection of freshly cooked dishes. Good vegetarian & fish options. Really friendly serving team. BYOB with no corkage charge. Highly recommended

Fantástico ambiente. Maravillosa selección de tés y tartas caseras, todas servidas en servicios de té antiguos que luego puede comprar si lo desea. De hecho, todo está a la venta a un precio negociable. Me encanta este lugar sin pretensiones escondido a pocos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Asegúrate de reservar. Uno de los mejores lugares de Edimburgo.

12th January was my wife's birthday, so I searched out somewhere I thought might be "special", using Tripadvisor reviews. Cairn Lodge seemed the place, but turned out to be something different from all the glowing reviews. But let me be fair. There were some good points. The ambience of the Garden Restaurant was very pleasant, and the staff were very attentive. But the food has a serious problem. We decided on 2 courses and 3 of us chose the belly pork. We all knew that belly potk is usually slow roasted and comes with crisp crackling and soft, tender, melt in your mouth meat. We were sadly disappointed. My wife had one mouthful and left the rest of the pork. Instead of meeting our expectations, the belly pork servings more closely answered the descriptions of Scotland's number 1 catering wholesaler, Brakes, who in their online belly pork advert to the trade, say, "Once reheated by either boiling or microwaving in the bag from frozen, remove and finish under the grill to brown the top as desired and serve..." The pork showed no sign of being roasted and then sliced on site. All the pieces were identical, suggesting factory production. All were equally tough. The pieces of carrot and parsnip , and the roast potatoes, were tasty enough, but the near incinerated Yorkshire puddings needed to have been "reheated" for several minutes less. Presumably they came from the same stable as the pork. Around the dining room, everyone seemed to have the same bought-in offerings, all treated in the same way. I have several observations. We are all used to this sort of food in the cheap fast-food places attached to Travelodges and the like, but Cairn Lodge presents itself as some special. Instead, you offer second-rate food at inflated prices. The meal for 4, with no wine, cost just under £160. I feel there is a certain dishonesty in what you are offering. Over-priced and second rate. Secondly, I am very disappointed that you have apparently weaned your clientele on to this standard of food, and they actually believe it is a good standard.. I come from a background as a writer for one of the major travel companies, and I can tell you that your food is not of the quality customers are led to believe. It is second-rate, and does not belong to an hotel which promotes itself as giving quality. Clearly we will not be back.

Excellent cafe. Food choice is great, cafe is clean, welcoming and staff are friendly and efficient. Also prices are reasonable. Highly recommend.

We ate here for my wife's birthday, oh what a fantastic choice. It is BYOB which is a nice change , the food was absolutely fantastic. The owner is so nice and helpful . He has as well as the restaurant a selection of deli products on sale for you to take away and try to replicate the dishes on the menu, a must in my view.

What a gem of a place! I stopped by for a take away coffee and cake and it was delicious! Also, lovely service. It is worth a visit:
