The best restaurants in Scotland

Latte was spilt over back soup was freezing cold won’t be ordering again

Troon Costa has been refreshed and it has a light and airy feel to it now. Staff are all friendly and helpful and toilets always clean

The rooms were really basic, seemed to be cheap. Also not able to open the window to let the air in, it's got Aircon which can dry the air in the room. Service was good.

Staff are lovely and the building is beautiful, but whoever runs things at the top needs a good think about the place. Only coffee place in Lenzie and they charge up for decaf, making a decaf Americano £3.10 - which is a ridiculous asking price for how mediocre their coffee is. I'd skip and jump into any of the more reasonably priced cafes in Kirkintilloch instead. Shame.

Restaurant doesn't take food allergies seriously. Ordered a family order on deliveroo and two items were cauliflower wings, one of which is gluten free and the geniuses who packaged the meal didn't mark the gluten free ones separately. How on earth are we supposed to know which one is safe when you send the gluten one and the gluten free in the same packaging, looking exactly the same. RESPONSE TO OWNER: I'm not convinced that they're both always gluten free as per your response. On Deliveroo you mark them separately, saying there is a gluten free option for this dish. Please see the photo. When both arrive in the same packaging and we check which is which with your team who don't care on the phone, the person with the allergy goes without.

The Coylton Arms is turning into a real favourite of ours. We’ve eaten here quite a few times this year, which included twice in December. It offers an extensive menu to choose from, plus the staff that serve you are always really pleasant and not afraid to offer their opinion on the food you fancy. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the restaurant is really nice inside. There is also an adjoining bar if you fancy a wee pre-meal drink. A family run business, well worth a visit 👍

This was a lovely, friendly place to break our journey and stop and have lunch and a cup of tea. Great range of homemade fayre.

Been in a few times. Whatever they use to clean the tables makes them sticky. The toilets are really disgusting, I'm surprised to be honest as it's a busy place.

Wow what a great place. If you want to feel like a local come to this restaurant. It was quaint in a great location and amazing food. Best scallops we ever had. Incredible whiskey selection, the best we’ve experienced at a restaurant.

Went into the cafe after never visiting Kirkcudbright. Was greetd by a lovely young lady that was friendly, took our order and had a wee chat. Food was beautiful. Home made soup especially, and desserts. Lovely homey feel.

Visited with family and were warmly welcomed. Friendly staff and tasty food. Their Tuesday deal on pizza and pasta made an excellent meal very affordable. Lovely pizzas all round!!

Had a lovely dinner here. It’s an old fashioned style pub with friendly staff who made us welcome. Delicious food. Nothing too much trouble. Highly recommend. Booking required Friday and weekend.

I saw this online and it looked very cool and the food looked amazing. We arrived, in the middle of nowhere. I questioned going in. But my nephew assured me if it wasn’t the same place we could leave. OH.MY.GOD. It was the same place. This is an absolute case of do NOT judge a book by its cover. The inside is SOOOOO cool. The staff are amazing. The food portions are huge… and absolutely sublime. There are games to play. 100% cannot recommend this place highly enough. Worth the detour.

I had the pleasure of trying the Syrian pies, and they were absolutely fantastic! Each pie was a delightful blend of perfectly seasoned fillings and flaky crust that melts in your mouth. The flavour were authentic, bringing a true taste of Syria with every pie. A special thank you to Chef Abu Hamza for his incredible skill and attention to detail. Abu Hamza, you have truly mastered the art of making delicious Syrian pies. can’t wait to have more!

This is the perfect place to sit for a coffee and a cake while waiting for family browsing the bookshops of Wigtown - or for a pit stop if you are on a bookshop marathon yourself. The staff are friendly and helpful. The chairs and sofas are comfy. The coffee is spot on and the cakes…Oh. My. Word! I had the apple and cinnamon and my husband had the lemon and ginger. Both were so light and utterly delicious - I was told the owner bakes them all herself, and my goodness she is good at it!
