The best restaurants in Scotland

Food was good , service was good , atmosphere ....a bag of waving cats

Stayed for an overnight to catch up with family. Check in was was friendly and straightforward at this lovely family run hotel. Had a drink in the cosy bar and in the evening had dinner. Food was delicious and service great. Breakfast freshly prepared by Sarah was excellent. Room was a good size with a nice ensuite. Would definitely recommend this place.

The food was too spicy considering we specifically mentioned it is for kids and we do not like any spices on it. Not to mention the price . Totally overrated restaurant.

We called in for lunch on spec when the place we'd intended going wasn't yet open and were pleasantly surprised. Everything felt fresh and welcoming, the maps on the walls were fascinating, the service friendly. Huge amounts of excellent mussels for me, husband had the scallop salad. We were so impressed we went back a second time, when I had the scallop salad (excellent but actually a little too much for me!) and husband had sea food pasta which was also really good. Down sides? Being served by someone constantly chewing gum with an open mouth is somewhat off putting, and if you want feedback on the food, you come after it's been served and ask if it's OK or you need anything - you don't wait until the guests are paying and then ask "did you enjoy that?". Felt like my granny asking...

I've been coming here/the one on Gorge street for years now. Cause simply they do the best pizza in Aberdeen. Everything done to order with the freshest of ingredients, generous with the toppings and always cooked to perfection.

Great reports about Lucy’s but honestly the worst service I have experienced in a long long time. Food was average but what was shocking was how bad the service was - to the point that after spending half an hour trying to order coffee we got up and left. My recommendation, avoid the place.

Best vegetarian/vegan hot dog ever! (Vegan dog with mushrooms and cheese) Chips were great and service with a smile. Wish I'd got a cake as well so will have to go back soon! My pal had a chicken and bacon burger and was also well chuffed and stuffed. The seating is outside picnic tables, which was fine for us but others might find it chilly in a normal November, so you'd maybe want to sit in your vehicle.

Well this is the first time I personally, have even heard of a Scottish breakfast 'crepe' let alone eaten one. But what a delight for the taste buds. A perfect mix of Haggis, bacon, tomato, egg, mushroom and cheese all wrapped up in a freshly cooked crepe. Combined with a good coffee. Perfect start to a days fossil hunting. Should of taken a pic before we almost finished 🤣. The lady running it is lovely as well 😀

I had a fantastic stay here at the Mooring hotel. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The bar and restaurant were excellent with a great selection of drinks and a solid menu, which was cooked perfectly every time all week. Thanks for a great stay looking forward to returning in the future.

We visited St Abbs today and we pop in to this cute cafe to have small bites. I ordered small breakfast, Tuna mayo toastie for my daughter and Breakfast rolls for my husband. The food are delicious, coffee is lush, the service is amazing! Next time I'll try the cakes as we only had short time to explore this beautiful village xx the girl who works there is so friendly too, we feel so welcome as tourists ❤️ highly recommend this cafe when you visit St Abbs 👍🏻

¡Deliciosos pasteles y horneados! Personal amable y encantador. Desearía vivir en Glasgow para poder volver! Muy recomendable, no te decepcionará.

Brilliant spot! really good service, everything was delicious bakery was good too. Friendly staff and nice food made in house

This is a lovely cafe with very friendly staff. The clootie dumpling was excellent. It reminded me of my grandmother's dumpling. So much so we took some as take away. I cannot praise this little gem highly enough.

Dropped in for breakfast and wow, was it good. Huge full cooked breakfast complete with slice of toast. This is a very popular cafe and rightly do. Suggest you phone ahead to reserve table at popular times. Well behaved dogs are welcome - handy watering hole if you are planning a day walking the Water of Leith
