The best restaurants in Scotland

You need to find your way through a chemist's shop and then upstairs - but it is worth it! We stopped for the soup and sandwich deal; a bowl of hot home-made soup, thick with lentils and chunks of bacon and a chicken mayo sandwich stuffed full and with salad and crisps. Delicious and a bargain.

Agree with the other reviews. This is an unlikely place to find at the end of the world. We felt welcomed and in the main enjoyed our stay. The only downside was the cost for the 2 of us. £200 for a snack, breakfast, plate of curry and a bunkhouse bed with no shower and a outside toilet seemed breathtaking expensive. To put this into perspective, we go to a nice hotel each year for a winter break, that's more than we pay per day at the hotel with vastly more civilized amenities. I do understand there are logistics involved at Cape wrath. However for an 'ordinary' local Scottish person I'd be looking to stay at sandwood bay and make a lunch trip to the cafe as I simply can't justify the cost/value. However, it is altogether improbably situated and a must experience if you are doing a long walk. Just be prepae your expectations.

We very much enjoyed an amazing platter for two. A whole prepared lobster, champagne lobster pate, dressed crab, prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, hot smoked salmon, a box of super Greek salad,oatcakes, crusty bread. It was beautifully presented and delivered on a covered platter. Enough amazing food to last us a couple of days. Highly recommend all their products,produced by a small family business.

We come here every time we are home in Glasgow. It's a straight road on the motorway and never been let down. The only place in Scotland where we can get "Dubai standard" food. The menu is not only unique but tasty and enjoyable.

We visited this vegan coffee shop today after Kirkcaldy parkun. I have visited before and discussed the possibility of booking a space for my running group (Vegan Runners UK) and they were very happy to do so. We received a very warm welcome and we ordered food, drinks and cakes, all of which were delicious. There's a lovely relaxed, friendly atmosphere here and we didn't feel rushed at all. Will definitely visit again if I am in Kirkcaldy again. Keep up the great work! 💚🖤 (It was lovely also to see environmentally friendlier loo roll and vegan soap in the bathroom too).

We stumbled upon this unique cafe and werelooking in the window when a young couple outside told us we should definitely go in ! They were right. It was so welcoming. The guy who served us was so friendly. The coffee was lovely but oh my goodness the cakes were outstanding. Absolutely a treat no doubt. Such a unique place. Lovely feeling about it and we will most surely be back

First time visit to Cafe Melba , and was a lovely experience. Coffee & Cake in a light , clean & airy surroundings. Staff so nice epecially Ella , a friend of ours ☕️🍰 Will defo be back !! The soap in the ladies was amazing- Whiskey & Honey .

We stopped off here after seeing excellent reviews online and it certainly didn’t disappoint. We both had a coffee with a lemon curd and cream scone. We’ve been craving another since having it and would highly recommend this place if not for the scone but also the views and very friendly staff

What a find lovely secluded cafe - best coffee I’ve had out for a long time - home made scones and cakes too yum !

Fantastic authentic tasting food. Best onion bhaji we have ever had and the lamb in the Karahi curry was so tender! All round great meal & service! BYOB, another bonus & amazing value for money! Will be returning for sure and highly recommend!

Beautifully located restaurant run by two amazing ladies, was visiting no 19 with my Boss and we tried lunch menu finished by delicious flat white. Everything was fresh and to die for, I also bought two cakes for my boys and they were also impressed with quality and size of tray bakes. Highly recommended.

We popped in to get a quick family lunch and were really happy that we did. Pass the Thyme is a clean and tidy eaterie. Modern furniture and a nice bar at the end appeal to all. There was a steady stream of customers, mainly locals by the sound of it which is always a good sign. Some tables had also been reserved for lunch that Saturday afternoon. The lunch menu was modern, accessible and focused on some staples such as pizzas, burgers, fries and salads. Between us we had a chicken Caesar, loaded nachos and smashed burgers. My 10yo wolfed down his burger and declared it “the best burger ever”. All dishes arrived promptly, were tasty, really well prepared and generous in their portions. And well priced too, ideal for a quick family lunch. Service was in keeping being efficient, clear and friendly. Very happy to recommend Pass the Thyme for lunch if you are in Campbeltown.

We were amazed at the welcome we were given,the crab we bought so fresh and tasty and the crab brioche we ate at the pier was wonderful, we will be back for more. We loved it. Thank you

We stopped by for a coffee after a walk and it was really nice. Loved the decor, friendly service, and good coffee. We also got cake too, and it was nice to see vegan options.

If there is a finer sandwich out there I have yet to meet it. Really fresh ingredients and authentic Vietnamese tastes.
