The best restaurants in Scotland

Fantastic evening in Charlie's Bistro on a cold Monday evening. The food was plentiful and tasty outdone only by the exceptional service! Nothing was too much trouble for the staff who really looked after us! The delicious house whisky was a surprising treat given the quality of most 'house' drinks. If you are ever in the area then a visit to Charlie's is a must!

Lovely ice cream with an interesting range of flavours. Shop was (no surprises) very busy, but staff still found time to be pleasant and cheery.

Very helpful when selling my house! Could not fault them at all, great price for selling and photos and video really helped to sell my house. 100% recommend to anyone that is thinking of selling their home

I have to admit that we are coffee snobs. The great thing about Coast Coffee is that they make coffee the way you ask for it. They also use good quality Illy coffee beans. Very personable staff, too. Highly recommended!

Busy restaurant, friendly polite helpful staff, good services, quality food.

While visiting Edinburgh we were looking for a cup of coffee to take to go. I was quite happy that they not only served coffee but also various other hot drinks. We had a Flat White and a Chai Latte and both tasted great. The service was friendly and prices were good as well.

Just back from Dinner. Fish in bread crumbs for me. My husband had steak. They now do an 8oz steak for smaller eaters. Still on a sizzling platter with fried onions and trimmings. Excellent . Nice staff as well.

Having traveled a lot around Italy this was a real treat to have such beautiful, authentic Italian food in my old home town of Hamilton on a rainy Friday night. We had the 6 course pasta tasting menu which just got better with every course. Presentation and flavours could not be faulted. Extensive well priced wine menu. Would definitely go out of my way to visit again.

We were regular customers at this restaurant due to staff being very nice to us and food being good. The waiters are exceptionally friendly. A couple of times our big families celebrated events like weeding anniversaries, graduation, etc. In the past couple of months though, the customer service went below McDonald's. I have never seen anything like that, and we will never return. The owner/manager(?) is extremely rude. Last month we had an engagement anniversary and booked a place. We waited for food for 30 min, then ate 10 minutes. Right after all plates were taken and we ordered a dessert, we were approached by the guy and told we needed to go. Pointing at wealthy people at the door, he said: "You finished, can you go? You see, people are waiting there?". We told we ordered a desert and we had a booking too. He then said we needed to wait for a desert (which turned out to be a takeaway) near the kitchen. He relocated us to a shared table so that the wealthy-looking couple can sit at our spot. I have never been insulted like that on my special day. Next time we were silly enough to return, again on a special occasion. A quarter of the restaurant was empty, and we asked for a table. The same guy approached us and said there is no space for today. Okay. I waited until the next couple with no booking was seated, and tried to ask why, but the same guy said we had to leave. We were silly. Very silly. So we returned. This time half of the restaurant was empty. I was so happy to see that, and the waitress seemed to have a table. When she picked up the menu, that same guy let her go, approached us and said it was all booked. Guess what? We were watching how other couples were seated with no booking. TO THE OWNER: Who do you think you are to insult me and my family on special occasions? Our 4 families will never return to your restaurant again. TO CUSTOMERS: I understand you might want to choose this place to eat. But are you from a working class too? Did you have a tiring day at work? Do you and your family deserve to be treated this way? Your moms and dads? Your children? Your loving partner?

Staff were friendly and helpful, we will definitely be back.

It's an interesting bar design. It's more of a youthful, party-oriented destination. There are a lot of interesting cocktails, a professional bartender.

My wife had a medical emergency and was hospitalized, and I needed a nearby hotel. I am incredibly grateful to have stayed at Ashtree House for a week. My every need was anticipated and I was cared for in every way. It couldn't be better. The house is beautiful, clean, and the staff excellent. But the best part is the couple who own it. Thank you for everything!

My family and I have been in a couple of times now and on our 2nd visit the staff remembered us and the hot drinks we'd had on our 1st. On both visits I noticed that everyone who came in were given a similar welcome making for a friendly atmosphere, the staff are top notch. Now to the food .... fresh, delicious and reasonably priced too. I would definitely recommend.

So looking forward to the new venture

What a great meal - Thank you Liz!! It was just so Yummy. The service from Peter was just fantastic. The 4 of us just had a fantastic night. Such a great atmosphere. Good old fashion country hospitality. Thank you all again for a great night.
