The best restaurants in Scotland

Regularly visit here with friends and family. Coffee is lovely and the staff are very welcoming. I witnessed a young girl, Abby chatting to an elderly gentleman about his wife being unwell. She took her time with him and offered a listening ear. That’s what blend is all about for me. 👏👏👏

Came from Edinburgh to Falkrik to visit the Kelpies. As an American wanting typical Brunch menu, I found this amazing spot. Friendly service and delicious food (Ordered French toasts, bacon and eggs).

Lovely cafe and great welcome. Food delicious and nicely presented. Don’t normally have a pudding but the home made apple pie with lots of custard superb. Just found on passing by on the A7 as saw nothing in Hawick. Will definitely return and tell my friends in Dumfries and Carlisle.

Food was ok, not as traditional I would’ve liked and our waitress seemed to lack social skills and didn’t seem to enjoy her job

First day in Inverness and we ended up at shakes n cakes for dessert. Ordered ice cream milkshake and chocolate fudge milkshake for us and chocolate fudge cake for kids. Amazing milkshakes and kids loved the cake. We returned the next day back there to taste their waffles. Amazing taste and huge portion. Love the place and definitely return when back in Inverness next time.

Great wee character pub . Great service as always. . Nothing has changed in yrs . Under new ownership as of Thurs 27th July. New seating in bar now . Good atmosphere when busy .

Not very impressed we just had carry out and it was edible but the popadoms weren’t fresh they tasted mouldy and were soft the side order of chips were in a polystyrene box which turned them soggy the dips were ok except one the mint one is obviously made with peppermint flavouring you get for baking it’s awful Chicken curry was nothing to write home about was ordinary so all in dunno why it’s award winning was pretty rubbish.. this is the second time we ve carried out and I wasn’t great so will go elsewhere in future I’m afraid

Hidden gem - if only we knew sooner Best roast dinner within a ten mile radius! The roast beef was immense, the gravy was out of this world. Service was great with a warm welcome. Cozy atmosphere with the fireplace roaring and decorated to highlight autumn 🍂. Can't wait to go back

Wow this was the best Indian food I have eaten, the service was excellent and the food was delivered to us quickly. The food was so tasty with just enough quantity. I can’t recommend the restaurant enough, I can’t wait to come back!!

Friendly, warm people, fresh Greek food, Dog friendly ❤️ is was coming in late after bin rejected in 3 places because of the dog… here is was welcome the dog got some water without asking. Feld welcome 🙏

Food choice limited and unwilling to change the menu in any way. Beans on toast is only served until 1100hrs, but you can still have beans with a jacket potato and a toasted sandwich at lunch, but not beans on toast. We tried 2 cakes (rolo slice and rocky road) - both were awful, full of sugar, soft when they should have been hard and did not taste good at all, they were left on the plate. Very expensive for an underwhelming lunch. The park attached to it is very poorly maintained and very disappointing. THere are hardly any animals to see and the play equipment has not been changed, fixed or upgraded in years by the looks of things. I had been a few years back and it was great, but it has not aged well at all.

Booked a table at the Cherry Tree the week before we were to travel to Scotland from Derbyshire. We needed a dog friendly pub which this is. On the day we travelled up, they had to shut the kitchen due to a staff injury, however they honoured our booking.. We’ve just had the best service and a lovely pub meal. The dog was brought her own water bowl too. Couldn’t have been more friendly. Good atmosphere too. Great value for money.

My wife and I celebrated our silver wedding in the summer and a friend bought us a gift card with lunch for 2. The excellent parts: The scenery, the drive along the loch side, the location - simply gorgeous looking out of the window whilst eating. The service. Highly relaxed and informal. Lunch was 2 hours. The Italian waiter was friendly and professional. The food was exquisite. Home baked bread with nasturtium seeded salt in the butter. I had duck, my wife had mackerel to start. Mains were pork for my wife and monkfish for me. Desert was a lick the plate clean chocolate cremeux for me and cheeses for her. The not so excellent parts; Nothing. At all. Fine dining of this quality with cookery skills like this and these flavours to luxuriate in, in this gorgeous setting… for £35 each??? I’ve paid double that in Edinburgh.

We needed to buy some last-minute desserts for vegan visitors. The shop had closed but the owner saw us and opened up the shop for us. We told him what we needed and he took us through everything that could fit, not rushing us in the slightest. The shop had a great range of vegan desserts and we managed to get exactly what we wanted. Very friendly and personal customer service. We will definitely be back.

Had a late lunch at the cafe last week prior to a couple of hours in Campbletown and returning for an overnight at The House which is part of the same business. Super nice people made us welcome and the food (lunch and breakfast next morning) was delicious. Very clean cafe and stores and I'll say again the very nicest of staff. Would return and recommend without hesitation. This is how a business should be run and why it apprears to be so successful. An all round good experience.
