The best restaurants in Scotland

I ordered a 10" hot vegetarian pizza and a chicken pakora. Despite paying for an extra topping of jalapenos, there still wasn't many. The pizza was "stodgy" and not very nice. Regarding the pakora, despite being a starter, the portion was huge and quality wise, it was okay. Sorry to say but overall, I was very disappointed and at £17.10 it wasn't cheap for what I got.

Booked my daughter's party here for November. New owners took my deposit however when calling them last few days I found out they have closed and took everyone's money!!!! Shocking! They have not notified anyone so if you have a party booked I would recommend you book something else as families are continuing to turn up unaware it's closed. Hopefully this is reported!!

Omg this place is top class!! Previous Michelin Star, they haven't dropped their standard. 2 or 3 course set menu, the menu had a map of Scotland titled The Larder, showing where their ingredients are sourced. I had the best Cheese Soufflé I've ever had, large for a starter and so cheesy tangy. Hubster had the salmon marinated in beetroot, on the small side but delicious. Beautifully rare lamb for main with a filo pastry black pudding, and a lamb samosa, so minty, amazing accompaniments and presentation. Hubster upgraded to a Rib Eye, said it was the best he'd ever had. Chef wasn't keen on serving it blue, but it was perfect. We were full really but couldn't resist the dessert menu. White chocolate rice pudding... omg just the best! And sticky toffee pudding. We'd mistakenly booked a bar table, and couldn't understand why we couldn't move to the restaurant as there were free tables, but the service was excellent, attentive and friendly. It was all amazing, thank you guys 👏

Just had the most magnificent brunch today. Beautifully presented and delicious to eat. First class food and service. 😊

myeslf and a friend just turned up,the welcome we got was briliant. the buitiful Jessie served us and made me and my freinds day. we chatted and jessie said there was a calie on soon.I said i would love to go, but unfortunate we had to go back home to Glasgow. that was june 2019. Have to go back, love to see Jessie again.

Random pub found in Thurso, great atmosphere with billiards and jukebox! (Wide hard rock choice) Friendly waitresses, surely the last address open in Thurso at 11 p.m. in April..

I used to like the breakfast at this little cafe, so I brought my friend here. But, felt disappointed by the attitude of staff this time. When we asked for the menu, the answer was "We just have those things that a cafe would have", then urged us to order. We only had a cup of normal coffee as a result.

Afternoon tea with friends - sandwiches were delicious as were the cakes. Service was very good with friendly staff. We took our own bottles of wine, corkage charged which standard The crockery was an mis match which is the tearooms concept but not sure about it. Inside was lovely decorated, however it was a nice sunny day and we sat outside. We were effectively sitting in a carpark. Two of the tables had seen better days. In all was good experience but the shabby chic is a little too shabby for me

Such a cute Micropub! Sam, the landlord, arranged a retirement ‘do’ for me in the upstairs function room, with drinks, a platter of pork pie/sausage rolls/chutney and a generous cheeseboard, which everyone enjoyed. The feedback from my guests was entirely positive!

Un restaurante indio pequeño pero acogedor, visité con mi marido, la comida era normal pero el servicio era estupendo. Precios muy razonables.

Pedí algunos refrescos esta semana. Desafortunadamente la experiencia se arruinó por completo, ya que fui constantemente acosado por dinero por una persona verbalmente agresiva mientras esperaba para recoger mi pedido. Entiendo que los propietarios (a diferencia de sus compañeros de negocios en la carretera de Kilmarnock) lamentablemente no han hecho ningún intento de denunciar este acoso continuo de sus clientes (que tiene lugar directamente al lado de la escotilla de comida para llevar) a la policía.

The Gillespie Centre is based in a refurbished former church building in the centre of the town and aside from the café the building is used for many community events. It’s operated by Biggar Kirk and most, if not all of the staff are volunteers. The café hours are limited to the earlier part of the day (10am - 2.30pm or thereabouts) so best to check online. It’s self-serve and a bright and modern setting. When we last dropped in it was very busy and noisy in the main area of the café. I guess a kid’s club or some such event had recently finished and consequently there were lots of adults and children having lunch. The other section which overlooks the High Street was fully occupied so we just had to embrace the noise level. As we had our grandchildren with us at the time it was probably a good distraction for them to be amongst their peers. The menu consists of soup, sandwiches, paninis, etc and there is usually a nice selection of cakes. The kids had a cheese toastie with a salad garnish & coleslaw (£5) and a filled ham roll (£3) along with cartons of apple juice (£1) so it’s not an expensive outing. My wife and I had Brie & Cranberry Paninis (£5.70) which were also served with a salad garnish & coleslaw. We all had a cake to finish off - sponge with icing, plain scone and paradise slice all reasonable priced between £2.20 - £2.50. The food was very good (and inexpensive by today’s standards) and the staff serving were local and very pleasant so it’s easy to recommend. I’m sure it has quiet moments at times.

Best meal we’ve had in a while. The crispy pork belly is heavenly and everyone was so wonderfully welcoming

Great opportunity to try lots of whisky.

We had lunch here today as the Continental was closed. We were pleasantly surprised after reading the bad reviews. I had a ham salad sandwich on granary bread. It was really substantial. Full to the brim with ham, lettuce, onion, tomato, cucumber and red pepper and only £3.80. My husband had a fish finger sandwich which contained four fish fingers in a large roll. We had a bottle of sparkling water and the total came to less than £10. Our order came in about ten minutes so the service wasn't bad at all.
