The best restaurants in Scotland

I always book online and well in advance so we get a table in the conservatory area. It was the first time my dining partner had been and the food didn’t disappoint. So much so she is already thinking of returning soon! We ordered a sweet to share, and had to mention to the waitress that we had been waiting a while. She apologised and so did the chef by giving us an extra bowl of ice cream. Can’t complain when the great service makes up for a wee delay. My next girlie catch up lunch is already booked on line.

Great coffee and lovely view of the street. The staff are friendly. It does get very busy.

This is really good Spanish food.

Food was very good. Prices not too outrageous. Large whisky selection available. Table service was severely lacking, while we could see the bar staff were all working very hard. A supervisor/manager kept having to come over to do basic things that our server would have been expected to cover. It's a nice venue with good food but the service lets them down.

Great location, attentive staff and the food is good if a little limited and very pricey. However if you are just looking for a coffee and a cake stop, then this has it all :-) ps, the local Cullen Skink is to die for 👍

A lovely charming pub with nice staff. We were there on a Sunday afternoon and there was a great group of around 5-6 Irish-Scottish musicians playing mostly Irish music (reels and jigs) and they were excellent. Don't know if they serve food.

Had a fantastic meal The service was very good I will definitely go again the next time I'm in Ayr

Great pub food really nice always have live music on Wednesday Thursday and Saturday staff are great. Would recommend getting in about 7.30 for a seat for the live music it gets really busy.

Great time for a party especially if you love emo, rock or punk.

Nos alojamos en Glasgow por unos días y nos habían recomendado este lugar, reservado hace varias semanas para un espacio de 10 am. No había comido el desayuno y llegó a tiempo para encontrar nuestra reserva se había movido a 10 . 45 am? Afortunadamente fuimos a Scran en su lugar. Este lugar parece estar en transición de propietario y claramente puede permitirse perder clientes.

Nice restaurant and nice atmosphere. My oysters didn’t seem right I ordered Whole lobster thermidor at £68. Very disappointed. It wasn’t whole. This lobster had no claws. It was dry and served on it own on a plate with a side tin of fries. No garnish to dress it up or make it look special. I didn’t complain because it would ruin the evening Wouldn’t return and wouldn’t recommend The bottle of Rioja was nice. My wife’s dish looked lovely.

5 dtars all-round - great food - fantastic location - extremely friendly and helpful staff - especially the barmaid Carol. Highly recommended

First time in The Bon Vivant for me and it was perfect. We went for lunch and the menu was enticing. Our son and daughter in law know the place well and pointed us to the small bites. It turned into a VERY long lunch as the small bites kept arriving and we hoovered them up accordingly,with a selection of beers and wines accompanying them. No way could anyone manage a main course after what we got through 😂 Thank you to our attentive waiter and waitress for a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Now I'm off to Google to find a fasting regime!

The waiter couldn’t have been any better. Noah was the absolute best and he made sure my experience was a great one despite all odds. Great place

Went to the dinner and wine tasting évent last night . An eye opener on delicious Sicilian wines and a great menu. Lovely relaxed atmosphere . My husband and I enjoyed the evening very much. A big thank you to our son and daughter in law for offering us this delightful evening as a birthday present. Happy to go back anytime
