The best restaurants in Scotland

Nice place to eat, visitor centre but well set out. Lunch was nice & pet friendly. Free parking outside. Staff gave Misty bones to eat whilst we had our lunch.

Every time we visit Ferry Den the kids love a hot dog and a slushie. The service is great and the staff are friendly.

Superb pub. Popped in for some great pub grub on a Saturday evening. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, good value food and two cask pumps showcasing an independent brewery. The kind of pub you wished you lived near. Highly recommended.

Reservado para un baby shower de té por la tarde para 16 personas, puede alojar hasta 18 . Teníamos todo el lugar para nosotros. Suzanne era maravilloso de principio a fin, tan servicial y en contacto por correo electrónico. El equipo en el día fue genial, el servicio y la comida fueron 10 / 10. Literalmente no podía fallar. Recomendaría 100% y volvería!

Same very good selection of beers . Didn't try the food . Staff seemed pleasant enough. However be aware this place serves great beer however if you are looking for a soft drink check the price before ordering. The soft drinks are more expensive than the beers.

Stopped here on cycle loop from Pitlocry. Very good choice of gluten free cake. The slice of lemon drizzle cake was delicious.

Lovely plump white crunchy battered fish.. And chips are great too.

Excellent value on a two night stay and dine, first evening’s tasting menu was excellent as was second night’s 3 course dinner. Close to Selkirk, Peebles, Kelso other interesting places in the Borders. We visited the Sammy Ling Buddhist monastery - beautiful gardens (even in February!). Couple who own the place exceptionally pleasant, as was Tom, the handyman,gardener, general fixer and font of much useful information about the area. We hope to return when he’s created the kitchen garden … great value, good food, clean, if quite small, rooms and great hospitality.

Hate to say it but won’t be back. This has been my regular chip shop for 8 years. The chippy is busy which is great for the owners but the service has just not been the same the last few times & after tonight we definitely won’t return. Standard practice in a chip ship is order your food & then when it’s packaged your asked for salt vinegar etc, always been this way in Alfie’s too. The place is too busy so the staff are asking when you order if you want salt & vinegar then you stand waiting. It’s then handed to you in a bag. Everyone has different tastes or maybe requires extra salt/vinegar you don’t get a chance to see your food as it’s packed it’s just thrown together however & handed to you. I actually fancied sauce whilst I was waiting & again it’s handed in a bag wrapped you don’t get the chance to even ask to add a pickle. It should be packaged in front of you so you have the chance to ask for condiments to your preference so you can add accordingly. People will say this is a ridiculous comment the owners won’t care as the shop is busy but it’s the difference in enjoying your meal or not enjoying it. Half the chips & the fish I ordered were tasteless it was hardly salted & hardly any vinegar. You should be asked as it’s being wrapped. Just trying to save time when you order & rush customers out the door. Paying full price for a backwards service. I’ve just moved back to Hamilton & even travelled from Motherwell for the last 4 years to use Alfie’s but won’t be back.

Friendly café/restaurant with a great range of food on offer. We were only in need of some hot drinks on a cold, but sunny day. However, we decided to add a delicious shared carrot cake to our cappuccino and pot of tea

Stunning view and friendly, efficient staff in a small family-run hotel. The quality of food was excellent, but fully grown humans may wish to order two main courses each, such was the rather miserly amount of actual food - scallops and monkfish respective.y - on our plates. Top marks for presentation and taste, but would have loved a little more.

Stopped in for lunch on a recommendation. Really nice atmosphere, clean and well attentive staff. Tables are well spaced so you don't feel you are rating on top of other tables. Varied lunch menu and a great selection of cakes. Food was lovely and good value, definitely be back here.

We went for lunch and decided on hot roast pork with mashed potatoes and veg . When it came it was 2 thin pork chops that needed cooked longer . Lumpy mashed dry potatoes , 4 slices of carrots and a lot of peas . Usually we enjoy our lunch here to be fair but it let us down today . We did not complain but paid £24 for it . Maybe we should have .

When we arrived seated no problem. Whilst waiting to order 4 other tables that came in after us were served first. I had to ask eventually to place our order. We were then served lattes barely hot. And one of the orderd were wrong but we waited that long just ate it. Only good thing we got to take our dog in. Tbh though I think it got to busy after we arrived for the young guy to cope on his own

When open (it has now closed permanently); it was a great wee eating house! We went there often. It will be sadly missed, used by many locals, tourists and organisations as an affordable restaurant.
