The best restaurants in Scotland

Wir haben hier sowohl auf der Hinfahrt als auch auf der Rückfahrt zu Fähre auf/von den Orkneys einen kurzen Zwischenstopp und einen kleinen Imbiss eingenommen. Kaffee und Tee sind gut, ebenso die herzhaften und süßen Kleinigkeiten auf der Karte. Besonders lecker fand ich die schottische Fischsuppe (Cullen Skink), die ich auf der Rückfahrt gegessen habe. Eine sehr freundliche Bedienung muss ebenfalls hervorgehoben werden.

Second visit in two days. I choose the airport by the quality of the Caff ! Superb bacon roll yesterday, ham salad today served by cheery happy staff in a great venue. Spot on tea as well 👍

Lovely place, love how they do the hot chocolate the design on top, iced coffee is great and the pastries are delicious.

This place is fab and the ladies running it are even better 😭😍 the almond cake with brown butter frosting was delicious; in fact, it may be the best frosting I’ve ever tasted. Try this place it won’t disappoint!

Locale di atmosfera, il nome “blind“ non è casuale, luce molto soffusa, bellissimi quadri, piccolo e raccolto, ma soprattutto pizza fantastica, per gli italiani che vogliono trovare ristoro dopo una cucina britannica, lo consiglio vivamente è ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

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.

We stopped in for lunch and felt bad that the kitchen was just about to close. They were lovely though and didn't rush us. My friends weren't that hungry and decided to split a meal. They loved it so much that they ordered a second portion! I had a veggie burger, even knowing they can be dry and not great - this one was lovely. All the food seemed homemade.

They have nice staff and lovely food orders. There’s good space for parents to bring their kids and I’ve mainly seen customers visit the place for a soup.

This was a brief visit before our hike up Fionn Bheinn, but definitely one to remember. Lovely staff, fantastic Coffee and all backed up by stunning views of the surrounding Scottish landscape. Although geographically remote, there was no shortage of customers! We had actually planned a post-hike visit as well but ran out of time in the end. Highly recommended, whatever the occasion.

We ordered a 3 tier pre iced sponges with decorations, the cakes arrived to us in Clacton, they were packed brilliantly we knew exactly what day it was arriving, looked amazing, we added some of our own decoration ideas on as well on the day, this was for our wedding cake looked just as we wished at a fraction of cost compared to prices of local bakers/cake makers. The cake was amazing, had so many people comment on it. The communication from them was helpful throughout. Thank you so much to team at Cloud Nine xxx

We were over from Fife for the day and had googled the best chippy in Ayr. Well Google was right- superb fish and chips and great, friendly service. It was lunchtime and we got two fish suppers and one sausage supper for £11! It was, supposedly, a small portion of fish for the lunch special (£4!) but it was still a decent size piece of fish, cooked perfectly. Sausage supper was similarly great. Chips were excellent too. 100% recommend. It's cash only, and the owner said to go to Farm Foods over the road and get cashback, rather than use the nearest ATM as it charges, which was really kind.

Brilliant customer service, staff very attentive!! Will definitely be back lovely end to my birthday day out!! Thanks so much

Exceptionally family B&B - We had a wonderful week as guests of James and Leesa! If you want a beautiful, spacious B&B with warm, open and friendly hosts and an excellent breakfast - this is it! :) Accommodation/feeling: Depending on your personal taste, you can have a “quick and easy” stay here: say hello, get a room, stay 1-2 nights, have breakfast and leave again. OR (clear recommendation!): You can use the breakfast/lounge room in the house with a fantastic view and winter garden panoramic windows as well as the small garden. You can have a nice chat - no matter how good or bad your English is: James and Leesa are happy to chat with you if you want. The breakfast is very extensive with lots of choice and is unusually great by British standards. There is very good, freshly ground filter coffee, many different types of tea and also hot chocolate. In addition to the classic warm selection (Scottish, eggs, porridge), there is a variety of fresh fruit, yoghurts, cornflakes, spreads from jam to peanut butter and the warm food is pleasantly less greasy than usual 👍🏻😊 All of this is served in the beautiful, sunny breakfast room with a view of the Tay and with a warm good morning and - if you like - a bit of chat. We were happy to have James give us the “tip of the day” in the morning and every single one was great! :) Leesa is the sweet soul of the house. When French guests were in the house, she added fresh croissants to the breakfast in the morning. Another day she gave away a homemade version of toffee. Overall, the two of them were by far the warmest and most familiar hosts we ever had on two trips to Scotland ☺️☀️ Room: Our room (Blue Room) was quiet, very spacious, well equipped, very clean, absolutely homely and typical of the country. What I really liked was the neatly packed mattresses - a clear plus point for allergy sufferers! But here's the only negative point: the beds are also typical of the country - with a lot of spring and (for German backs) a little harder (but still far from back pain!). I folded and placed the extra wool blanket as a cushion, but softer mattresses or the option of getting a topper would be a good improvement. :) Location: The B&B is absolutely ideal! You are right on the street in all directions without it being noisy. You can go on various hikes or cycle directly from your front door. Both the Cairngorms and the local Highlands are right there. There are many castles nearby, endless hiking trails with and without waterfalls. With Pitlochry there are many bars and restaurants nearby - here too: ask James! ;) There is also a larger COOP and bus routes to all major cities. Clear recommendation - definitely stay longer than 1-2 nights and drive a little further to your excursions! ☺️👍🏻

We stumbled upon Wee Bar on our first evening in Inverness, arriving without a reservation and not quite sure what to expect. While other places nearby turned us away, the team at Wee Bar warmly welcomed us, accommodating us between two reservations and offering a cozy, lounge-like space that immediately made us feel at ease. Only later did we learn they were short-staffed, with just one server managing the floor, assisted occasionally by staff from the restaurant downstairs. Despite that, the service was seamless. Drinks and appetizers arrived promptly and with a genuine smile. A special shoutout goes to their willingness to go the extra mile—when we requested a hot toddy for my wife, they happily made a custom one just for her. That may not sound like much, but in contrast, other pubs nearby simply declined. It’s this kind of “can-do” attitude that truly makes a place stand out. Our appetizers were just what we needed to kick off the evening: a delicious charcuterie plate with meats and cheeses, perfectly crispy onion rings, rich and flavorful garlic mushrooms, and a fresh bread basket. Everything was beautifully presented and full of flavor. I wish I remembered the name of the server who made the experience so memorable (we visited on April 15th around 6:30 PM). Their warmth, efficiency, and positive attitude made all the difference.
