The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Fantastic food. Really good flavours, beautiful presentation, and some of the skills on display (e.g. the pani puri) were quite awesome. Best scallop cooking I've ever come across. Gobsmacked when the bill came: really good value for money.

Having discovered The Tickled Trout on a dog walk, returned about 3pm on a busy Sunday knowing that only the table for 8 can be pre booked. I’m told that at busy times, there’s not usually long to wait. What an amazing setting! From the main car park, it’s only a 60 second path traverse alongside the sluice gate controlled trout fisheries which is interesting to see. There is disabled parking at the front door. The old building is very spacious and rustic inside. The main burn (stream) openly runs through the insides and out and under large glass windows! Lots of attentive staff who seated us at comfy chesterfield sofas immediately and the dogs were warmly welcomed. There was also a Bichon Frise, Schnauzer and placid Doberman present! Our waitress explained that they hold Pilates classes in the cavernous space upstairs. Sadly after a busy afternoon and with only an hour to go prior to closing, some menu items were finished, such as the much lauded Trout Fishcakes and other all day breakfast items. Given the time, I completely understand this. However there were plenty of light bite options, tray bakes, including some gluten free Rocky Road, and a Stewart Dairies Ice Crème stand. I was tempted by a fruit scone but they only offer butter and jam so I took Malteser Ice Cream. I’d suggest offering clotted cream and jam for their scones as well which would be better received. We ordered the soup of the day which was Honeyed Parsnip and IT WAS TO DIE FOR!!!!! Thick, large bowl and homemade. 1st class. Latte in a tall cup was hot and delicious. So all in all, we will definitely be back. Thank you! (Closed Mondays snd Tuesdays if I heard correctly)

Very poor quality was cheap.damp on ceilings decor dated.bathroom was old .decor in bedroom old.very cheap feeling stay shame. All very basic and rundown needs a facelift

A very long wait for a very expensive lobster roll !!! Beautiful scenery on Ulva but lunch was disappointing. Aussies can do better than that!

Great choice for a chippy. I recommend anyone visiting the Falkirk area to pop in here, Donna is friendly to everyone who's there. She's a credit to her parents.

Lovely food, big portions. Beautiful desserts 😍. Great service! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely gorgeous property. We had a lovely balcony room with a very comfortable bed. Breakfast and dinner were both quite good. Parking was a little tough because we arrived late in the evening and spots were taken by people eating at the restaurant. Location was perfect with just a short walk to the main part of town. I saw other reviews complaining about the walk, which I don’t understand because it was quite lovely and brief. Will stay again if we come back!

Popped in for a couple of sandwiches, lovely thick bread,absolutely overloaded with filling of choice & salad. Freshly made while you wait, brilliant for the price you pay. So good couldn't eat it all,& had the rest later on that evening. Plenty of other options to choose from,wraps,baked potatoes,panines. Worth waiting in the queue for.

Literally some of the best food and service you will ever get!

Delicious food, super cheerful and helpful staff.

Don't be put off by it's dull grey exterior. This is a popular cafe with friendly staff. good coffee and delicious food.

Warm welcome, impeccable service, and excellent food. Canadian manager. Great discovery.

I second all 5 star reviews here and will make it short: investing in this stay was absolutely worth the money. The rooms are exceptional, the staff is authentic and very friendly and the food (breakfast & dinner) is delicious and made with fresh, local ingredients.

1st time visiting here and I would definitely visit again great little pub staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Cafe with a fine deli... Had soup and sandwich... Wonderful fresh food... Great portion size and brill coffee... Been in a few times and can highly recommend... Family run and try their very best to pleade all the time.
