The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Toller Pub im Herzen von Sterling. So, wie ein Pub sein muss... Nette, freundliche Bedienung, Gute Bierauswahl... Live Musik ab 21 Uhr.... Was will man mehr...

Stumbled across this place while passing through Creiff. I had the most delicious vanilla oat milk latte and my husband very much enjoyed his mocha. Helpful staff and doggie friendly which is great! We never had anything to eat but the menu looked fab If we are ever back in the area I would not hesitate in returning

Went for breakfast before we got on the boat home - excellent food and great, friendly service - just wished we discovered it when we arrived on the island so that we could have used it more - really enjoyed our visit

Took my 10 year old today. She loved it. Made quiche & Jan tarts from scratch. Excellent teacher, patient, informative & very encouraging. The quiche & Jam tarts are delicious. Can’t wait to go back next week. Would recommend!

This shed is miles down a single track road, in a beautiful setting but hardly in a commuter belt. It is so well stocked. Cakes - so many to choose from, hot and cold drinks, ice cream, fudge tablet. The caravan park further down the road must help with trade, but it is a great place and I hope it continues to flourish and the baker continues to bake (Oh and the cakes and tablet were fab).

As my daughter was performing at the local theatre, we decided to drop in for dinner. The staff were lovely and offered us a table in the back part, which was much quieter. Food was of decent quality and was very reasonable priced. Overall was as expected.

This is the first place I head to every time I get to Rothesay. The best coffee on the island - no competition. Plus an incredible salted hot chocolate (I buy bags of the stuff to take back to London), plus amazing pastries and excellent soup for lunch. And Mhairi and her team are always good for a natter and to bring you up to speed on the island gossip and recent celebrity sightings. I also rarely leave without a new pair of earrings thanks to the Bonnie Bling range they stock.

Had a fabulous meal. The food was perfectly cooked, I had the New York Chicken and my partner had the chicken and haggis pie with peppercorn sauce followed by the most amazing cheesecake which I would strongly recommend to anybody dineing in the restaurant. I have now been several times to the Inn at Cambus and it is always consistent, as in the service is excellent, second to none and the food is always very generous and cooked to perfection and I can't wait to go back again with my friends!!!!!!

Now live near Manchester but every time I visit the area I pop into Stuart's shop in St Andrews. Top of the agenda are the unbeatable steak pies which are vastly superior to the offerings down South. I always end up taking several to converts near where I live. They have been enjoyed as far away as the Isle of Man!! My work colleagues always ask when I'm coming up to Scotland so they can savour the pies that cannot be had down here. Remember Stuart and his dad from Tayport over 20 years ago. Definitely the best butcher around with very helpful staff.

Lovely peaceful coffee, very tasty baking. Lovely buildings well used. Beautiful scenery as well. I would imagine this little find would be busy in the summer

Thank you for an excellent time at the Hide. I was very lucky to win a prize for the use of the Hide for the lunch 12-4 . we opted to bring our own food and myself and 9 friends enjoyed a lovely time. Mr B and Becky gave us all the help and support we needed and the barbecue was ready to use and we had a fabulous time. The views are amazing and the place is too ! We would defo recommend and we will be back to visit again

What a great find - real coffee and service to match. We had cake and filled rolls ( freshly baked on site) ,bacon from the butcher next door. Proper ground coffee with a real taste to it. Judging from the the number of people eating , it is always busy. Congratulations to Alex on a well run café. We will return as often as possible.

We popped in today for our first visit and will definitely be back. Nonnina's is in a quirky spot, through a bike workshop, but it is welcoming and cosy. We were fortunate that the pizza oven had warmed up - I had a pizza and my husband had a soup and panini combo. Both freshly made, they arrived piping hot and my pizza, in particular, was delicious. A perfect crispy base with just the right amount of toppings. The owner was very friendly and is obviously very good at what he does. Highly recommended.

Always got ice cream here when I was growing up locally. Forty odd years later, the ice cream is still as tasty as I remember. Recommend it any time you are passing nearby.
