The best restaurants in Scotland

Im really enjoyed about service and friendly atmosphere there. Very testy and not oily. They make keema naan for me out of menu!!!!! That was really special!!! Fresh...yammy!!!. Rice was flaky and delicious. I ordered Desi lamb. I absolutely loved. Very traditional Pakistani special!!awesome. My partner ordered prawns. They was really good. Not overcooked. Seems like chefs are putting a lots of effort to surprise customers and keep up the best. Recommend. Please come around and try delicious food. Thanks very much for all hard work and stay up to your standard guys!! Well done. I will definitely come back many times and I would Recommend for all of my friends and colleagues.

My partner and I always go a drive always on a Saturday to see what restaurants we can find . Travelling from Glasgow . We found Apricot on our drive last night . The food was amazing . Fresh Clean food . The quality was next to nothing . Ingredients were just perfect . Presentation of food was just amazing . Everything was made with care and thought. From the spiced onions to our main meals where out of this word. Everything was made from scratch. Fresh ingredients. Beautifully cooked and presented. Overall the staff were so very polite and friendly , presentation was pristine and clean. Very prompt and helpful . Restaurant was absolutely 💯 clean and decoration of restaurant was amazing . It must be the cleanest restaurant I have been to date . Staff were very attentive. Well turned out . Well groomed . The food was to die for . I will find it hard to match any other restaurant that we have been to. We will be definitely returning again to enjoy the amazing food and amazing atmosphere.

Great food at very reasonable prices. We will definitely be back and highly recommended.

Fui aquí el sábado por la noche con unos amigos de Belfast. Dijeron que siempre era su primera parada cuando estaban en Glasgow. Ahora puedo ver por qué. Los cuatro tuvimos grandes platos principales de pitas, pollo, cerdo y cordero souvlaki, moussaka y, por supuesto, patatas fritas griegas. Porciones gigantes y todo delicioso. Un buen vino tinto griego y un par de mitos también. Todos terminamos con el raki obligatorio y estábamos llenos. Volveremos muy pronto.

We have been to the Clachan many times. The atmosphere is great and staff are always friendly and welcoming. Food is also exceptional! Would highly recommend.

Visited as a family group of three for first time. Starters and main courses were all excellent and service was first class. Owner took time to answer our questions on the menu and we will certainly be back.

Meant to leave a review after our first visit last week — but after going again today, I remembered! First off… BOOK a table before you go — it gets really busy (and you’ll soon see why). Food I don’t use this word lightly… the food we’ve tried is EXCEPTIONAL. The "Big Yin" and "Wee Yin" all-day breakfasts are easily among the best I’ve ever had. ✅ A menu with enough variety to give you choice without overloading you ✅ They cater for dietary intolerances too, which is a big plus ✅ Local produce, served piping hot (yes, even the beans!) ✅ Beautifully plated and the meat is absolutely top-notch They also offer pancakes, toasties, soups, and other options — and smaller portions if you prefer a lighter bite. Drinks We’ve only sampled the hot drinks so far, but the tea, coffee, latte and cappuccino were all spot on — both taste and presentation. They use Myrtle Coffee beans, so you’re supporting a local supplier while getting a quality brew. ✅ They also offer milk alternatives for anyone with dietary needs. Atmosphere A relaxed, welcoming wee Scottish cafe — calm decor, friendly vibes, and a cake and scone display that’s downright dangerous if you’ve got a sweet tooth. It’s also very family-friendly, which is always good to know. Service The staff are friendly, welcoming, and clearly proud of the place — they genuinely care about the food, the atmosphere, and the customers, which is a refreshing change. Pricing It’s definitely at the higher end, but given the location, quality, and service, it’s more than justified. Parking Plenty of street parking just a short 2-3 minute walk away, so no hassle there. Overall We’ve only been a couple of times, and it’s a 30-minute drive for us — but Heaven Scent has already gone straight in at #1 on our list of cafes. Highly recommend you try it too! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Don't be mislead by the name 'Bistro' and the pictures about the café and the menu including cakes and seating areas. It is not a bistro any longer and you must not stay inside. We mistakenly rode here (by bike) way before the ferry would depart to have a break in the 'bistro'. However, they only sell snacks and coffee to go. As a consequence, we had to wait 3 hours outdoors (the ferry terminal waiting room offers shelter as alternative). The shop and the lady running it are nice though!

Visited today with two coach driver colleagues for an amazing Scottish breakfast. We had dropped off some excited school children at the Lonsdale to watch Paddington in Peru. We didn’t have marmalade sandwiches but a delicious breakfast and such a large portion which kept us going all day. We would like to also pass on praise to Claire for such a warm, friendly welcome who was very complimentary to our Christmas jumpers well for the two of us anyway. We popped back this afternoon for a coffee and tray bake where there was a wide choice. We look forward to visiting again soon. Many thanks Kim - Irving’s Coaches, Carlisle

Really disappointed, unfortunately nobody on our table enjoyed their food. Staff were friendly and great location.

Went in for a few drinks whilst staying in the area for work. I was tempted with the specials board and opted for the fish tzatziki. It was to die for and never thought a pub would have such an exotic choice. The flavours were fantastic and the smoked fish melted in your mouth. Friendly staff and decent price for beers. Recommend

Fancied a trip to Plockton, lovely wee village. Had read about the Harbour Fish Bar and that they offered gluten free fish and chips. That's what we ordered and got and thoroughly enjoyed - sat eating them in the car looking at the view. We've been twice now, but it has closed for the winter. We will be back in the spring.

Restaurant was only open very limited hours at the time of our visit due to Covid restrictions. Had a nice meal and wine at reasonable price served by very helpful, friendly staff

I 5/5 100%. Best people I have ever met, when I was in a pinch, they were all very welcoming, helpful, and friendly. The food is delicious, the environment and vibes are perfect, and the rooms are well kept and clean. I would definitely go again to better enjoy Anchor Inn.
