The best restaurants in Scotland

First class Hogmanay 4 course meal and ceilidh. Food was delicious including the stovies at the bells. Hopefully it will also happen again this year 2025. Thank you to the management and staff as the three of us had a great night. Would fully recommend.

Everything is fantastic food fresh and great tasting staff. The best you could wish for great team

Stopped for a quick break on the way to Poolewe. Even though they were short-staffed, they produced a wonderful soup of the day (sweet potato) and the lightest tastiest cheese scones. Such friendly staff and excellent value for money. Would recommend a visit if you're in the area.

The food is amazing but the restaurant is so tiny. The first time I visited was during the summer and there was no ventilation in the restaurant. The kitchen and dinning place are connected. So for the whole time we were smelling the strong spices in the air. The service is nice but too busy for only three people working in the restaurant, waited half an hour for my food. Recommend to takeaway or get delivery.

We stopped at The Old School House during our motorhome trip, and it was such a great find. From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel welcome. Although, my wife and I couldn’t help but laugh when the server mentioned they were really busy, and there were only four other people in the whole place and loads of empty tables! It gave us a good chuckle, but they seated us anyway, which we were happy about. It was a chilly day, so we both went for the soup of the day – tomato. Normally, tomato soup doesn’t excite me much, but wow, this one was incredible! You could tell it was freshly made from scratch, and it was packed with flavour. We also shared a brie, cranberry, and ham panini, and it was just perfect – warm, gooey, and delicious. The lady who served us was so lovely and friendly, which just made the experience even better. We left feeling full, happy, and properly warmed up, ready to continue our adventuring. If you’re ever in the area, definitely pop in. Great food, great people!

I love this baker great pies /cakes are perfect large choice great staff all of it 10/10

Best pizza I’ve had in Glasgow so far ~ the sauce and dough are fresh and the pepperoni was perfect! Also loved the truffle chips with parmesan! Delicious :))

My friends went for a quiet pub crawl and enjoyed our time here. Very good beers.

My favorite hotel in Inverness! Highly recommend!

Wow. Wow. I decided at 1pm to try to find a dinner restaurant for before a 7pm show, which was adventurous. I tried close to 35 restaurants and all were full. I randomly stumbled upon Taisteal on google maps and surprisingly they had space at 5pm. THANK GOD. I am grateful they did because not getting to experience this place just once would be a crime. Unbelievable food. Some of these tasting flavours I’ve had. You can tell so much thought and care has went into selecting the menu. The staff are amazing. The prices are phenomenal. I will absolutely be telling anyone who will listen about this place.

I had read good reviews online about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the soup of the day (butternut and sweet potato) to start (delicious), baked hand made pasta tubes with the most delicious filling, topped with a creamy tomato sauce and for dessert a coconut panacotta with chocolate soil served with gooseberries and smooth vanilla ice cream! My husband had the baked handmade pizza dough, filled with cheese and topped with a tomato sauce followed by a venison and beef ragu with tagliatelle. He had coffee then envied my dessert but was too full to order one! This was the best restaurant meal we had on our break. The staff were lovely including Morag who owns the restaurant with Andre, her husband and chef.

Brought my parents to The Selkie for lunch and we had a super meal. Mum had soup and sandwich with delicious salmon, and the rest of us had tapas options. The food was delicious. Some also had lovely cocktails and others enjoyed the wine. I’ve been before on three different occasions with my partner and with friends and whether for coffee and brunch or a tapas meal the food, drinks and service have always been superb. Great wee eatery.

They have the best Malabar chicken biriyani in Edinburgh.

One of our favourite places to eat in Castle Douglas, if not our outright one. Proper authentic Italian food of really high quality, and they know how to entertain our 4 year old every time he's in. The fact they remember him is even better. Cannot recommend more highly.

A little gem of a place. I will definitely be going back. We were a large party but everyone was served at the same time. I was lucky enough to enjoy gluten free lasagne and gluten free apple pie. I was delighted, the food was delicious and with no ill effects. The staff were also lovely too.
