The best restaurants in Scotland

We visited Polly’s pantry for afternoon tea on Mother’s Day. We’d seen them on tv and had been waiting for an occasion to book. It did not disappoint. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious!!!!! Can’t recommend them highly enough and were very particular catering to our food allergies. The cake Bon Bon’s (not sure if this is the correct name) were a firm favourite! Can’t wait to book again soon. Lovely family run business everyone should support locally.

A wee gem close to where we'd stayed. Had a Yummy brunch without much boasters! Sitting on the perfect corner to give you that traditional corner cafe feel.

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.

We have been here a few times but found the menu has been cut by half and the prices have risen. Incredibly expensive compared to similar restaurants in the area. Food was very nice but not worth the money we paid .

Reviewing Hope Street Cafe. Friendly welcome from staff seems a popular spot for locals . We are not my husbands family belong Boness. Ordered a Lorne sausage(square sliced if your Scottish on proper breakfast roll my husband had black pudding roll generous two slices. We shared a pot of tea which was very good. Excellent prices. Great service our server even went and picked up sauce and napkins for us which we could have done ourselves. Not often in the area but will come back here.

This is the best coffee shop in St Andrews - but only in terms of the coffee and the food. I love the drinks and the bagels especially are *french kiss* but I would love to be able to come and sit, and enjoy my bagel at a table. The issue is that the already limited seating is taken up by students who have pretty much always finished their drinks. I really think it would be a good idea to have maybe half of the seats reserved for people who just want to come and sit for 10 minutes to have a drink because the shop itself is so nice and clearly very well finished. As a student myself I know there are plenty of study spaces in town so a study free area surely wouldn't meet much resistance? I for one would visit the cafe much more often, instead of just for takeaways. That said, the staff are amazing and the coffee is superb.

Took my daughter for a treat after not being for several years. Simply sublime and steaks cooked to perfection with cracking sides and tasty sauce. Only downside was too much to have a desert. Great choice of music and top class service from Karen. Will be back …. Soon!

Delicious birthday dinner at the Old Manse..nice menu, quality food, nice wine list and fantastic service. Crab starter (photo), rib eye main and Cranachan for dessert! Will return for sure!

Absolutely loved our lunch experience on Monday. We received a warm welcome and were looked after by friendly and immaculately turned out students. The food was excellent, beautifully presented and tasty. Compliments to the chefs. We had a large table of 10, service was sleek and while the staff were attentive, they were unobtrusive. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Absolute joke waited over an hour after delivery time. Phoned and goes through to message. Then to be told bluntly on its way. We will not be using this resteraunt takeaway again!!

While staying at findhorn bay camp site we decided to try Pizza for a quick meal . We had ham and pineapple pizza , garlic bread with feta dip and finished it off with tiramisu.It did not disappoint, especially the tiramisu.Decent size of pizza , plenty for 2 of us with 2 slices left to eat later .Didn’t have long to wait .

Used to come here a lot but wont be returning after the service we received today. Down right rude, enough to make me lose my appetite, ordered a coffee and left. Seems you only get good service if you are elderly and/or posh

The ice cream was delicious and the staff was kind and organised it was a very busy day and the staff managed to get our order at a decently fast pace and there didn’t seem to be any issues with other customers orders. Overall great cafe !!👏👏👏

Another gorgeous experience at the Garden Cafe. The food was divine as always and the portions for the money are quite substantial. We had quiche, salad, cake and coffee. All were fabulous and the staff are lovely and so accommodating.

A hidden gem….What a wonderful place! Friendly staff and amazing food. And for the ladies… the powder room is a must see.
