The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Having been in Brechin with my young son for a football match, we were struggling to find somewhere suitable to eat. Our hotel refused to open their kitchen as it wasn’t busy, so we had to go out and look for somewhere. We found the Auld Bakehouse just by wandering around. We asked if they had a table and they gave us the last one up by the stairs. We both had steak pie, chips and veggies. The food was lovely, and the portions generous. Only out done by the wonderful service. Next time I am in Brechin this will be my first choice, super experience. Very grateful that they let us squeeze in. I believe the place is BYOB but being with my wee boy I wasn’t drinking. Coffee was lovely!

We went (from Glasgow) based on the review in The Times in January 2025 and were not disappointed. The food is amazing and reasonably priced. Atmosphere is great, the restaurant is small and we loved the decor. The team were great, sharing menus ahead of our trip and accommodating for three children in our party. Can't wait to go back.

Fantastic evening of food and beer with great service on our last night on Tiree at Ceabhar - A great discovery and will definitely be back

I'm giving 5 + + stars for this restaurant. An amazing experience. We had lunch at 2pm - my daughter and I. One of her treats for getting a First Class Honours Degree. Very much deserved. Her choice of restaurant and my, it did not disappoint! Lovely contemporary tasteful decor Calm informal relaxed ambience Professional 'going the extra mile' service - detailed descriptions of each of the tasting courses. Wines to accompany each course if you wish at very reasonable prices Delicious, different, delicately presented food - every course stunning Detailed little touches very much appreciated Very good, if not exceptional, value for money Whoever owns this place - they really have got an exceptional formula. We also visited the cocktail bar just up the road. Great selection of cocktails at reasonable prices and lovely service here too. We will be back!

Amazing place tucked away in a small st in Perth friendly staff and brilliant coffee and wonder cakes . Brilliant bakery

1st visit to Sals today. Wow, I'll he back. Great pizza. Great coffee and Great looking cakes . A really nice atmosphere and the most engaging , caring staff. Thank you so much . Only complaint is I had a 2nd slice and I was a bit full! Thank you

Just like how a fish supper should be; no nonsense. Was so good didn’t even need sauce. Visited for dinner after hearing great things about the place and it didn’t disappoint. Super fish suppers, coleslaw, onion rings and finished off with a single nougat wafer. Our server Lyla was a delight; fully competent, smiley and polite. The place takes you back in time, even with a fryer from nineteen canteen - very special. We will most definitely be back!

This was a lovely cafe, serving lovely breakfast and bakes but what stood out was how lovely the staff were. They greeted each customer with equal interest and a personal touch, kind, friendly, attentive and great food on top of it!

Good food, beautiful views, lovely atmosphere.

Food was absolutely delicious, great menu options, amazing local seafood and a whole seperate Vegan menu was available for 1 member of our party that was Vegan, ate here 2 nights in a row and was very pleased with the food and the service both nights

Fantastico Bar per brunch e colazioni ad Oban. Ragazze gentilissime e cibo ottimo. Da provare assolutamente!possibile parcheggiare nei dintorni senza problemi.

Great breakfast spot on our way to the ferry - bacon sandwich and a drink for £4. Tasty and tremendous value. We didn’t buy any, but the cakes looked delicious. Lunch/sandwich menu is long and varied.

La mejor comida india que hemos comido. Bellamente presentado, buena opción vegetariana y para los consumidores de carne utilizan cordero escocés. BYPB sin cargo por descorche. Muy buen servicio y buena relación calidad-precio.

Love this wee hidden gem of a place, fantastic food and a great atmosphere. Lovely family run business

The best steak pie in this area by a country mile. You must try this gastro pub if you like freshly cooked British food. Good berry crumble served with cream or custard.
