The best restaurants in Scotland

Opens earlier than most in Aberdeen, and I can only echo what the more positive of reviews said about the staff welcome, the standard of food, and the cleanliness of the cafe. The coffee is delicious, we had both cappuccino and flat white, and poached eggs with bacon and toast. The eggs were cooked perfectly, firm on outside, runny yolks. Judging by the number of online home delivery riders/drivers it is clearly in high regard for its breakfast! We concur :-)

Regularly go to sun do. Always get hot food. Friendly service. Reason I go often. Never fails to disappoint Worth a visit

Always a good laugh and great staff and service

Super nettes Personal, kleines aber feines Café mit gut schmeckendem essen. Wir haben haggis probiert und es hat super geschmeckt. Gerne wieder.

Cookie dough is amazing! Delivered before it was due & was perfect. Thanks :)

On holiday in Dumfries and Galloway and visiting Kirkcudbright for the day we attempted to have lunch here. However, upon entering a rather rude lady said we couldn't have a table as they already had two parties of six in and only one chef in the kitchen. Seems from the reviews that others have had similar experiences.

Lovely coffee and veggie sandwich with really nice staff. such a lovely little comfy place to chill yourself or with friends

The cottage was a place we paced a few times en route to largs, and always said, we should try there for a change. The welcome was very warm as was the sitting area instead, it's very christmasy for November but does look very nice. They have specials on a board on the wall, and Sunday roast dinner if lamb,beef, ham with Cauliflower cheese,roast potatoes and seasonal veg. The menu is very varied from toasties to special Currys, coffee and slush drinks and milk shakes... And the odd lager ect. the service is not to slow as they do takeaways and delivery services but as you chat away you don't really mind. We all had different choices but everyone enjoyed what they had, portions not big or small, but the prices are a bit steep, for portion sizes.....£2.50 for a can of coke, ect.... Give the bistro a go at night open until 6pm, always somewhere different to try, then after a walk along the marine area.. This is only my findings..

One of the friendliest cafes I've ever visited. Very warm welcome and great service - we only popped in for a quick coffee and left with some free takeaway baked potatoes!! Looking forward to my next visit.

Having heard mixed reports of this eatery, we decided to visit on a cold wet night. We were greeted by a friendly waiter who showed us to our table. The service, however, was extremely slow, and we had to ask when our food was coming. The food was mediocre, one of the party, said his main lacked chicken and the sauce was very thin, but tasted OK. The plain naan bread was like cardboard and cold. Overall average, and room for improvement.

Very disappointed. We took the trouble of writing privately to avoid a public review but did not get the courtesy of a reply. Totally inflexible menu choice: we must all be pre-theatre or all a la carte. One person’s needs could only be met with an a la carte dish – so the three of us eating the pre-theatre menu were charged an extra £70 to make us all a la carte. Also, the main courses arrived while we were still at our starters. We said we were not ready and were firmly told it comes ready or not. We protested and were told, ‘If I take it back it will just sit there getting cold anyway’. I don’t think we have encountered that before in a quality restaurant.

Just a nice day out with a friend for lunch and time out .lovely meal and lovely service. Pity the after sales service was shocking taking more than 3x times extra amount out of my account and ignoring E mAils and hanging up on my calls

Best fish and chips we have ever had highly recommended Friendly staff great chef owner always available to sor any problems

We haven’t been to the Palace for a meal for nearly a year and decided to go this evening. We had the front room to ourselves. The lady that served us was really nice and helpful. Food was lovely. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and was worth every penny. Fully COVID compliant!
