The best restaurants in Scotland

Called in to sample the Cullen Skink after seeing it featured on a YouTube video (Steve Marsh). I have to say we were not disappointed, it was delicious! The cafe was busy, but we were fortunate to be seated without a wait. Booking is recommended at busy times. The whole menu looked fabulous, I could have spent a week or more having lunch in there each day. Sadly, it was just a flying visit. We will certainly visit again when we are in the area.

Tasty food and coffee, good service

Proper local Bar represented by sound folk who work there. Their wee gig venue next door is a treat. Check their gram for Live Music/What's Oan @leithdepot138

We went a couple of times to have a drink here and have to say that the staff was very friendly. Can't comment on food as we didn't have any but, good to know, you can have a pint with a burger. Good news for Guinness lovers, it is on draught, but you can choose between the extra cold (personally not a fan at all) and regular one (much better for flavour)! Enjoy

Cute hotel located in a historic castle. It’s a bit outside of the city center in a quiet neighborhood but makes for a peaceful stay. My friend and I shared a suite and it was quite large. The bathrooms were also quite luxurious and there’s a tub as well as shower. They have free breakfast if you book directly with them, but since we booked it through the Capital One portal, we didn’t have that. The keys themselves are physical keys (not keycards). The front desk is nice and even though there wasn’t a water bottle filling station, they filled them up for us. They were able to hold onto our baggage after we checked out while we explored the area.

In for lunch on a random Wednesday. Service fast and friendly, and food was superb. The LUNETTE BURRO E SALVIA was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve had in a very long time. I had something similar in an Italian Restaurant in Dakar (of all places) and I’ve been chasing that high ever since. Now I know I can get something just as good local, I’ll be back for sure 😁

Went for Christmas lunch yesterday- we were a group of 6. The set Christmas lunch was amazing quality and good value for money. Service was efficient and the atmosphere amazing.

Very good food and service. Good vibe and a good mixture of Afghani and Pakistani dishes. We tried Kabuli pilau and the portions were so big. Food was very delicious and the lamb was so succulent. The prices are so fair considering such a big portion. Fantastic place and will go back when I am in Edinburgh again.

Popped in for cakes and hot drinks. All were delicious

The food was delicious! We booked a 730 table and the place was packed, it was too loud for us but not a fault of the restaurant. Service was a little slow but the staff were very friendly and polite. Obviously struggling from the amount of people in at one time.

Riverhill has incredible coffee and food. The staff are friendly, and the fact that it is always busy tells its own story. This is, for me, the best coffee in the centre of Glasgow and close to Central Station. The only problem is, they don't open until 8am and I now have to be in Central just before then, but you can't have everything.

The food is immaculate. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and the scenery is lovely. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is out for a trip in Edinburgh. Also the music is fire, this is written by a kid BTW so that is a compliment, and my mum loved it too. Definitely recommend, give it six stars if I could.

A beautifully designed authentic Italian feel from as soon as you walk in. The place has gorgeous decor. Very clean, tidy and pristine. All tables were dressed appropriately with wine glasses and a set of cutlery. Staff were very polite and friendly, they gave enough time to order everything without making the experience feel rushed. Quite a few customers in at the time so rather busy inside, however saying that could still hear the table talk so it wasn’t too loud at all. The spicy meatballs main was absolutely gorgeous, cooked to perfection and the fact could watch the chefs cook it was just a bonus. The cake in the sticky toffee paired with the ice-cream just melts in your mouth entirely. For my first visit here they definitely left that bar high for food quality and for a very decent price too! If I visit again in future I’m going to try the other dessert that stood out to me (the strawberry one!) highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the area. Side note; the stairs to the toilet in my opinion felt quite steep. Heels wouldn’t be ideal at all! There are handrails down though. Ladies toilets there is only 2 cubicles with 2 sinks. They do match the interior feel of the restaurant though.

It clearly deserves its title as the best Fish & Chips in the Highlands. The portions served are VERY generous and everything is super good! Excellent value for money. If you're looking for a place where the fries are as pretty as they are good and where the average piece of breaded haddock is the size of a child's forearm, don't hesitate!

Lunch today was lovely Highly recommended Be back soon
