The best restaurants in Scotland

Visited Selkirk whilst on holiday in the area, nice sunny day so sat outside with our dog. My husband ordered leek and potato soup served with bread/butter. I opted for the chicken Mayo sandwich with crisps/salad/coleslaw. Both had lattes. Everything was delicious and served by a very friendly member of staff. Definitely would return and recommend

Excelente almuerzo ligero tomado por los tres antes de tomar el tour de John Knox. Deliciosa comida y excelente café y chocolate caliente y muy buen servicio / relación calidad-precio.

Fabulous find on our way from East Lothian up to Dundee. Lunch was delicious. I had the Light and tasty batter on the Haddock. Great chunky chips and peas. Very friendly staff and customers. Wish this was near our wee golf course in Musselburgh. 😉 Will stop by again if we are in Ladybank for sure. Thanks Kirsty,Phil and Theo.

Went here with my sister for the first time at the weekend. It was really lovely. Good choice of sandwiches and lots of home-baked cakes to choose from. Everything was delicious. We even took some fruit scones home and they were the best I’ve tasted in a long time. Staff were really lovely. A young girl served us and she was very friendly and welcoming. Will definitely go back here.

Wasn’t too impressed with this place. One very grumpy member of staff wasn’t very helpful. She was preoccupied with giving another member a bit of a hard time about his service skills. I thought he was ok. She was short with him and us. Not great!! Overpriced for what we had. Didn’t really care about what they were serving us as well. Not a good experience

Go there often the high tea is great value ,the staff are all very pleasant,the manager is very professional,the come round to make sure everything is ok . Hilly recommend the restaurant

Great tidy clean place just what we needed. Visiting family and memories. Host very accommodating and helpful. Defo come back

We were holidaying locally and came across the Tearoom, there was a live singer on and the atmosphere was brilliant. The sun was shining which also helped. Julie and Dan the new owners are so welcoming. The Tearoom is a fantastic place to visit.

On a rainy day in the western Highlands near the town of Glenelg, we happened upon this lovely little place. We’d been visiting the nearby stunning Broch on the grassy rise and decided to stop in for a coffee and cake. We were ushered in to this quaint little wagon, plenty of room for the two of us to warm up by the fire. The lovely ladies serving us made two delicious hot coffees and we decided to have a piece of fruit cake and courgette cake. The cakes were home made and both scrumptious, the conversation was pleasant and interesting. I imagine that on a clear day it would be lovely to sit out in the garden.

Spontaneous visit to this local cafe after passing many times and always appears busy. The menu has a huge selection of hot, cold options along with sweet treats and drinks too. You can also sit in and take away if preferred. Upon entering I received a warm, friendly welcome from a polish lady who appeared to be the manager and in charge of serving. Good size cafe with lots of tables to choose from and very clean. Also, level access from the street is provided so good for wheelchair users. Decided to dine in and order the lentil soup with a buttery roll as I was short on time. With lots of food options to choose from, keen to return and try some of the other items on offer. Service was prompt and the portion was large. The soup was also piping hot and very tasty. Overall great first experience and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a good cafe near Gorgie area.

I had been working in the area for a few days, and Summit Cafe was recommended as a great spot for lunch. This is one of the best small cafes that I have ever been to! The service is unbelievable, it’s so incredibly brilliant that I returned every lunchtime without fail! One of the team Lois who is an absolutely wonderful soul, makes you feel super special, never failing to give you a warm and wonderful welcome. Exception service and exceptional food! Love it! By the way, I’m vegan, and Lois understood my needs from the word go! A great place for all, but especially vegans and vegetarians. Thank you Lois - definitely coming back again soon!

Hier zou je misschien zo voorbij rijden, maar verscholen naast een mooi beekje en bruggetje. Superleuk lokaal koffie-ontbijt -lunch huis. Lekkere sandwich en Panini met vers bereid beleg. Vergeet niet wat lekkers mee te nemen voor onderweg uit de taart / koek/shortbread vitrine ! Vriendelijkheid troef.

Welcoming exterior, love the lights. Busy street, on street parking. Staff are lovely & helpful. Interior and furniture is a little dated looking, could be made more warm & cosy. Had scrambled egg & toast. Lovely bread, but the egg was microwaved so rubber like. I definitely prefer my egg cooked in a pan as it was very dry too. Good prices and menu looked well rounded. Entry level food, but good food. I saw an outdoor area, might be nice in the warmer days.

Spoiled for choice, all sorts of delicatessen to pick from. Not super cheap or expensive but had a good browse and bought some relish, cheese and oatcakes.
