The best restaurants in Scotland

The best places for cakes in my opinion!! Going back every week to get some more slices of cake! Done my girls baptisms candy bar and cake, no words, everything was AMAZING!! Would recommend 100% 💯!!!

what a great space we love this place is great food without pretentions best karagee chicken for us we will be back many times

Love this place. Astoundingly good patisserie, great coffee, warm and friendly staff. I usually just pick up cakes to take away, but I had lunch here today - the freshly made lamb shawarma wrap with hummus was delicious with well balanced flavours

Saintear isn’t perfect, but the welcome is warm, the food is good and the portions are generous. And the location is amazing. Good enough for me.

Bittersweet is glorious. Absolutely exquisite cocktails, delicious small plates of Italian food and detailed and attentive service. The venue is beautiful and the staff were passionate and expressive in their shared mission to ensure we had a wonderful time and experienced a sensory explosion of flavour in everything we drank and ate. Visiting from London I was pleasantly shocked that the bill was so reasonable for such a feast in flavour. I honestly can’t think of a meal I’ve enjoyed more and am already looking forward to returning when back in Edinburgh for the festival. Leith has a new jewel in its culinary crown and it’s Bittersweet.

The best cup of cappuccino I have in a long, long time, very friendly staff pleasant surroundings. I ha a home made apple turn over, very good , but could have had a bit more apple.

A quick stop off after our tour at the centre. Our wee boy enjoyed his pop dots with chocolate sauce. All OK but not as good as Aviemore. I was queuing at the till point and then people who came along after me got served first, at the ice cream counter. If there is a clear way to queue please put a sign up!

Tucked away on Orbiston Street (behind Windmillhill Street) this is a cafe you could easily miss but well it's worth seeking it out. Parking is available and there's an outside seating area for those sunny Motherwell days. Run by Hope United Church, this welcoming, family friendly cafe space serves excellent freshly prepared food (paninis, wraps, baked potatoes, Scottish breakfasts, home made soup) and some of the best coffee in Motherwell. The only downside is... it's currently only open on Fridays and Saturdays. A great spot for an end of week treat.

Mi esposa y yo pasamos unos días en Edimburgo, y Preacher se convirtió en mi lugar de café. La gente es muy agradable, y el café y la comida son deliciosos. Un buen día me tomé un sándwich de huevo y queso y al siguiente un pastelito. Me gusta mi café bastante básico, así que tomé un café con leche sin azúcar. Fue un café agradable y rico. Sin duda recomendaría Preacher’s.

Phoned up last minute for a burger & cake. Station bistro did not disappoint 🤤 I got a chicken burger with halloumi, bacon with slaw & maple syrup with sesame seeds for on my burger. The bun was toasted just the right amount, chicken was cooked too perfection.. Bacon was just the right amount of crisp and the halloumi was also fab (usually halloumi can be a hit or miss and quite rubbery anywhere else) but I would highly recommend getting it on your burger. I have a very sweet tooth and the biscoff brownie hit the spot. The staff are so lovely aswell. Will 110% be back ❤️

Visited the cafe for an imformal meeting with friends. I was really impressed by the furntiture, fittings and decor. Warm welcome from staff. Excellent bacon roll with coleslaw & salad on the side and great coffee. A gem of a cafe in St Clair Street. We will be back again.

Great community Village cafe We had the breakfast Excellent quality ingredients from the butchers next door Very reasonable price Brilliant friendly service Also managed to squeeze in some of their very tasty cheese cake If you are in the area go here you won't regret it

I made a special detour here after reading the reviews. I am sorry to say that, in my opinion, it wasn’t worth it. The Pain au Chocolat was ok but the coffee was tepid and bland. If I hadn’t asked for a coffee I would not have known what it was - hardly any taste of coffee. Maybe it was an off day

If I lived in Nairn, this would be my go-to café every day. The freshly made food is extremely tasty and the selection is extensive. The naturally endearing charisma of the owner, and her staff, add an extra satisfying portion of decadent spice. High streets everywhere need a place like this..
