The best restaurants in Scotland

Myself and my family frequently have great meals and excellent service from Adriano and his team. Tonight we had the Snowdrop Services Christmas night out and we were very well looked after. Special mention to the red wine that was suggested from the waiter! We’ll be back after your well deserved break in January. Paul Ps. If I wasn’t a typical guy, we would have great photos to share!

Great food, great service 👌....portions massive 🙂

Didn't stay at the hotel, but have been to the cafe a couple of times. So nice!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Italian restaurant in Edinburgh, and it truly exceeded all my expectations. Being of Italian origin and quite particular about authentic cuisine, I was genuinely impressed by the exceptional quality of the food—it was simply wonderful! The ambiance was warm and inviting, making it perfect for our group of 9. We were delighted to find a spacious table that accommodated all of us comfortably, which can be quite rare. The staff was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and always ready to make our experience even better. The drinks were equally impressive, beautifully crafted, and complemented the meal perfectly. If you’re looking for an authentic Italian experience in Edinburgh with excellent service and a great atmosphere, I couldn’t recommend this place more highly!

The Cri pie was everything we were told it would be. The outside tables were comfortable with the heaters keeping it warm. St. Andrew's has so many varied restaurants and pubs, but the Criterion has to be at the top of the list. We were so glad it was recommended to us.

We spied the cafe on Google Maps and thought it might be a great place to take the camera for a walk before sitting in for lunch. We were well pleased with the outcomes on both choices: the Cafe is small and cosy, the food was excellent (amazing choice of cakes for afters), the young lady who served us was both welcoming and chatty. Also, the views over Loch Katrine were just spectacular, and I left with both a full stomach and a full image card. Can't wait to return again.

Siamo stati a pranzo al Bar Aldo's dove abbiamo trovato un servizio ottimo cosi come il cibo e il vino. Consiglio vivamente questo ristorante

Always worth a visit. Have been going to this restaurant for years even though we haven't lived in Glasgow for decades. Such lovely, friendly staff.

The food was so nice,the restaurant was beautiful.Its one of the best restaurants on the world.

Good coffee, sells Aeropress, great service. Go.

Went for my daughter's birthday can't fault anything food was fantastic and Arthur and his staff are amazing can't wait to return

Nice place. Few issues need attention but had lovely stay will use again

First time in the restuarant had the festive menu I cannot recommend this place so highly food is excellent staf my are great will definitely be back

We have eaten here before on quite a few occasions over the years. You forget just how good the experience is. You remember individual courses, or chat, or a wine, but you do forget just what a huge amount of effort is put into the full evening by the whole team. The front of house staff are just as good as the chefs working behind the scenes, and that takes a lot to live up to. It is, quite simply, exceptional.

No been here for a wee while but had an awesome time at the murder mystery night. Brilliant 3 courses and a great selection of drinks. Ahll be back, like Arnie but no as a robot / terminator.
