The best restaurants in Scotland

Popped in for a quick bite while shopping. Usually looks busy when I've passed, but quieter today, so pick of the tables. Quickly brought menus and specials mentioned. Partner opted for soup of the day and an ultimate cheese toasties, while I settled on the fishcakes (daily special) and fries. Soup was tasty and came with some toasted roll. Ultimate toastie was loaded with cheese in chunky loaf and got the seal of approval Fishcakes were also very good. Worth a visit.

Delicious food, everything was fresh and fabulous service, warm cosy atmosphere. Owner and his wife were so nice to our autistic son. Making lunch out a very enjoyable experience.

Regular customer, excellent staff and great menu, shout out for Sunny he's a 💎 gem of a manager 😀

Great, understated restaurant. The soup was a very generous portion and very tasty. Also lived the lemon and blueberry sponge.

Needed breakfast one morning and so came here to find a lovely atmosphere with a range of people inside. It's a little cramped sometimes as is popular but for a reason. I'd recommend the eggs Benedict. Will surely return here.

Just getting back to eating out after several months at home so "really" was looking forward to my treat today courtesy of my big sister who first introduced me to this place. Maybe that's why we both had a great meal, but I have not been disappointed there yet.Their chilli chips are particularly yummy !

Delicious freshly made food and very friendly service . The shark toilet was very amusing and all constructed by the host. Dog friendly, George scored a bonio, ( or 2!!) the hosts are very welcoming and kind and could not do enough to ensure our comfort and needs met. Highly recommend. Easy access and parking.

Lovely coffee house to stop for a drink and or a meal. We ordered downstairs and the staff bought our order upstairs to our table.

A lovely interior and it's in a great location. The staff seemed super friendly and professional. They had a decent cocktail menu, but being a "Gin Bar" I feel their gin selection is pretty poor... They didn't have the first 2 gins I asked for, one of which was a very common brand. There's plenty of non specialist bars in the area with a better gin selection. I was also a bit disappointed at the lack of perfect serve. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I don't think I'll be back.

Was once a bit of a dive back in the 80s & 90s but now arguably the best boozer in Motherwell (although the choice nowadays is fairly limited).

We stayed in Melrose at The Townhouse at the end of our UK holiday and this was probably the best place we stayed! It was just lovely. The room we had was huge with a lovely big bathroom and the bed was just dreamy. There was no road noise and the location was ideal being right in the heart of Melrose. The breakfast was terrific with lots of choice and the quality of the food was just ideal. Honestly, this is worth every cent!!

Delicious Sunday lunch with family whilst on holiday near Melrose. Two of us had the Sunday roast (beef) which was very good with all the trimmings cooked well. The other meals were very good too. We had a warm welcome and friendly and efficient waiters. We sat outside in the sun which added to the experience but the dining room also looked nice.

This pub is truly a cornerstone of any visit to St. Andrews. You can not beat its location, especially the small patio, and the atmosphere is so golfer-friendly I can't imagine a more golf-centric pub anywhere in the world. A good selection of beers and OK, but not the best, service. Sadly, the food was terrible. My first order, the mac and cheese, was so bad I had to return it. I then asked for the chicken baguette. It was terrible too. Sadly, the menu does not have much traditional Scottish pub fare, which is what one might expect when you are 100 yards from the Old Course.

Our charity took 100+ lighthouse enthusiasts to Mull of Galloway lighthouse and this coffee house opened up specially, by pre-arrangement, on a day they are not normally open. They offered full service to us and the quality was excellent. For such a remote location to have such a high quality place to chill out and socialise with great food and drink is amazing. Brilliant.

Visited the Bistro a handful of times and can’t fault it. Best place to eat in Alford. Cosy and friendly atmosphere, staff welcoming and food is great and good value for money.
