The best restaurants in Scotland

If I compare this restaurant to what is was before when it was the Western Club then it is very poor. The food was not as good and after visiting a few days ago the food was terrible given the cost of it. No, we are not going back to this place.

Myself and my wife visited the The Barony in Biggar on Sunday 8th December for Lunch and so glad we did, the food was top notch and very tasty, the two waitresses that served us were very tentative and professional, the ambience of the restaurant made it very relaxing and we just unwound to enjoy the surroundings, if you are ever in Biggar Book a table at the Barony and enjoy great food, great service, and great surroundings. Just Enjoy.

Friendly staff and delicious bangers and hash bagel sandwich.

Sunday Roast (Beef) was absolutely delicious. Meat was lovely and pink in the middle and perfectly coloured radiating outward. The vegetables complimented the beef so very well and portion size was spot on. Heritage Tomatoes were fresh and served with a gently tangy sauce/ketchup. Lemon tart (with raspberrie), whilst a little difficult to cut/crack was warm and easy to eat when picked up with fingers (I am not proud!)... raspberry ice cream and dried raspberry pearls added to the enjoyment. Great value for money. All that said, I had perhaps expected more from the A la Carte menu.

First visit here. Down a bumpy track in the middle of nowhere and when you reach the end it looks like you've arrived in somebody's garden. You have arrived. The restaurant is a lovely wooden structure which is an extension built on a lovely country house just West of Kinross. When I booked, I didn't realise that the menu on a last Friday was an all in Asian menu. There was no choice - it was 5 courses with everything more or less delivered at the same time. With 60 plus covers they did a great job and the ladies serving did a great job. The dishes were an Asian fusion as we travelled via Thailand to Japan and China and all places in between. The menu worked very well and the whole meal was extremely enjoyable. Well worth the effort finding and a reservation is essential. Highly recommend and excellent value for money.

I had Sunday lunch at Casa Mia with my family, the staff were so friendly and attentive, the food was excellent, all made fresh in front of you, the pizza was as good as any I have had in Italy, the anti pasta sharing board was delicious and more than enough for two, I had the Panciotti Di Mare, I have to say this is my favourite dish when in Italy and this was was better than anything I have had before. I would definitely recommend this Restaurant.

We had a fabulous meal here, I recommend the teriyaki chicken!!! Beautiful room out back full of fairy lights, great atmosphere. Great place to eat.

As it’s a small popular place booking in advance is probably recommended. We were looking for a table on a Saturday night during the Spring Fling event in the region so left a message with the restaurant whilst traveling to Kirkcudbright. The owner returned the call and fortunately, thanks to a cancellation, was able to arrange our reservation for dinner the following night - a promising start. On the evening of our visit the bistro was busy however there was still a relaxed ambiance about the place. The sole waitress taking orders and attending to the tables was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable about the menu and the only other member of staff appeared to be the owner/chef. He popped out and chatted with us towards the end of service to allow the waitress to get home as a few diners like us were finishing off drinks and still to receive their desserts and settle their bills. He seemed sociable and relaxed and clearly hadn’t adopted the Gordon Ramsay approach to the restaurant business. Being a small place we were not surprised at the outset that the menu was limited to about half a dozen items per course including specials however it gave a decent choice in our view. We both ordered a “special” for starters - Tempura Battered Prawns (£7.95). As was the case throughout the evening, the dish was served up to the table in good time. Six king prawns each with a sweet chilli sauce with a salad garnish and balsamic. It was a tasty start. For mains my wife ordered the Seabass, served with king prawns, a white wine & tomato sauce and fresh vegetables (£21.00). I had Duck a L’Orange (£21.95) which was another item from the specials board. Neither of the mains dishes would be winning prizes for presentation however most importantly they both tasted good. The fish was nicely cooked and my wife enjoyed the other parts of the dish. The duck was also good albeit the chef was later surprised I’d left the fat on the plate. I queried if people normally ate the fat and he commented that they often do and that he rendered it to make it more appealing. Thankfully this was not an overly fatty duck breast in any case but I was quite happy to leave the small amount I did on the plate. For dessert my wife had Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and I had a Citrus Tart served with a small selection of fresh berries and cream. The puddings were £6.50 each and both enjoyable. Overall we liked our experience at the bistro and with our three course meal for two costing just under £72 we thought it was reasonable value for money. We had added a bottle of NZ Yealands Sauvignon Blanc wine for £25 only just keeping the bill under £100. A walk to the harbour to watch the sunset as we headed back to our accommodation rounded off the evening well.

On a solo sailing trip to Tarbert I was fortunate to get a call back confirming that a table had now become available. I don't normally do fine dining without the wife. My starter of Scallops in garlic butter with Samphire was excellent, no, they were better than excellent, followed by delicious Cod Fillet in sauce. The team were welcoming and the whole dining experience was first class. Meeting a friendly and knowledgeable couple from New Zealand made the "Dinner for One" a more relaxed and enjoyable evening. Go there, eat good food, get great service, and meet nice people.

Great place except the man in the mens loo waiting for a payment🤔, awkward

One of the best places to go for a meal nice and friendly staff and good food

Excelente Café al igual que el personal, Pasquale y su equipo son de primera cajonera tuvimos hermoso pollo Tempura con miel en panqueques también servido con fresas, arándanos y crema. El café Capuccino es el mejor que mi esposa y yo hemos probado en el West End. También habrá una Exposición de Arte muy interesante, original 1 calle Diciembre - 8 de diciembre todas estas pinturas de temática italiana también están a la venta. . . . . no te lo pierdas!

Amazing food and able to cater for gluten free. Staff great.

Sadly it was not what I had hoped for, the meals seemed to be microwave meals and not presented well 😕 It is now closed....

This is my newest favourite place in Edinburgh. The food is fantastic and the place is very cozy.
