The best restaurants in Scotland

We popped in for lunch after being given a recommendation and we were delighted with everything. From a warm welcome, great service, bustling atmosphere of happy groups of people through to a smashing lunch - we felt throughly spoilt throughout.

This is the best place in town for coffee trip and/or lunch. Staff are superb and the food is excellent. Not fancy but, just what you want especially for lunch. Their soups are 10/10

A really good, traditional village pub, more like you’d get in *whispers* England that the west of Scotland. Three real ales were on when I visited, with one finishing and another pulled right through. The beer garden looked incredible, but as it was a chilly March evening we opted to stay inside and enjoy the heat from the real fire. Children welcome in the bar till 20:00 which is very handy. Can’t wait to return.

This was a great three night stay in the Pub we were made very welcome plus our three dogs certainly plan to return If you want to get away from it all sit by a cozy fire this is the place to go

Go here now before everyone else figures out what amazing value this place is! The drive through the Scottish countryside is stunning (a half-hour drive from the railway stop at Galashiels). The owners have created something special that I simultaneously want to keep to myself and share with the world. Oxana's hosting (and baking and wine-pairing) skills mean you are welcomed with friendly service, clear explanations of the wine pairings and amazing, sweet treats. We have been twice - once in September and once in November - and from beginning to end, our glasses were never empty, and we were treated to amazing service. Now, the food is really something to talk about. Bryn is doing something special here. The food is fresh and innovative while remaining down to earth and approachable. A simple parsnip soup sent our table to heaven with its perfect spice. We had pork belly with the crunchiest crackling and lentils with vegetables that were flavoured so beautifully I couldn't tell what was in them. Blue cheese with truffled honey had all of us begging for more. Every bite is a delight, and some of it was items I wouldn't normally order. This food, this place, is truly something special, reflecting our Borders community and some of the best food in Scotland. Go now!

Good bar. Good choice of cocktails. Reasonably priced. Nice laid back atmosphere. Did not eat here so cannot comment on food.

Lovely atmosphere with friendly staff.

My grandson, his daddy and their friends had an amazing time at the Grinch party on Sunday. A great idea and we are all looking forward to next years Thank you to the girls who arranged the party, what a super staff team Anaya have. We are regulars of Kilbirnie Anayas and the staff and food are always excellent

Really enjoyed the food and services here and the food was very good. Plan several revisits so I can properly explore the varied menu

We went to this restaurant last week. A person in our group went to the toilet but fell down a step, Which only had a thin strip of hazard tape but no sign about this step, The lady fell onto the floor below this step, She was unconscious for a few minutes, This step is Dangerous needs more lighting in this area. A lady came up to us telling us she has seen this happened before,

Had only short time . Live music was great, musicians playing great tunes around the fire . Recommended.

I am surprised by the number of poor reviews of this cafe. My experience here today was excellent. There is set meal for Sunday lunch. Today it was turkey and all the trimmings. Very simple but very good and good to see proper home cooking and good service. Booking is needed but as it is a small family run place that is understanable. Highly recommended.

We went in on Sat. 12th October around midday (my other half and I, plus our daughter): the staff were lovely and the tea, coffee, and cakes were delicious; we had a paradise slice (with coconut and fruit) and a date crumble as well as a coffee and walnut loaf, all of which were freshly made and absolutely do die for. We sat near the shop front but had a look around at the pictures showing the conversion work phases made this building what it is now; the products on sale are also varied and fairly local (we ended up buying a small wooden stool for our daughter's harp). Recommended, also, for lunch: on offer, for example, was a broccoli and Stilton soup, but we had to continue on our journey. Francesco and family.

Food was excellent, we both had the Cajun chicken wraps with fries and onion rings. Set us up for some shopping. Our server Zara was fabulous, very attentive ( Zara recommended the Cajun wraps). Would recommend you try this place.

Great food and great service Lovely location Go through day to appreciate view from dining room Very friendly staff
