The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Amazing pancakes and food overall 👌 The Service was great and the workers there were the nicest people i‘ve met so far. 5/5 Stars and a recommendation for everyone who likes good food

One of the finest meals the wife and I have ever had. The tasting menu was incredible from start to finish. Service was great, bathrooms spotless, restaurant clean. Top tier in every way.

Lovely restaurant in a pretty village. The mothers day fixed menu was great value. Fa tasting smoked mackerel and roast dinner although e beef was a little tough. The staff were so friendly and really attentive. A lovely way to spend a Sunday lunchtime.

Wonderful fusion of local ingredients and international cooking. Enough beers to cater for us malt nerds. The wine geek left happy as well. The steak sauces and sticky toffee pudding are next level shit! They also cook their steaks as ordered. Fries are crispy, not UK Chippy style. But DO go for the black pudding scallops! IN

We had small plates which were all really tasty. Only downside was they were all brought out at the same time, so some of the food got slightly cold. That's the only negative. Highly recommend.

If you visit St Monans make sure you pop into the Giddy Gannet for a cup of very lovely coffee (or tea if that’s your drink) and very def try out on of their delicious bakes! The bagels looked amazing it just wasn’t quite lunchtime for us! It’s very def the place to head to for a quick pick me up or a little chill out on your travels!

Hemos visitado en varias ocasiones durante los 2 años pasados y siempre recibimos excepcional estándar de servicio y excelente comida de degustación, algo que parece ser difícil de encontrar en muchas diners, lo que le pregunto por qué estas otras empresas están todavía en negocios. Nunca hemos tenido algo más que de las comidas excepcionales en una gran relación calidad-precio, es una pena que no viven más cerca. Espero que Alec veranos volveremos algún día y le deseamos y su personal lo mejor dondequiera que estén. Graeme & Mairi

Booked here for a birthday surprise. Got a text message saying they couldn't honour our booking. No apology or anything. Very bad customer service.

An absolute amazing gem midtown. Staff very friendly and food to die for

We were back in Helensburgh after a 2 year gap and had to return to The Upper Crust, believing it couldn't be as good and fun as last time. We were not disappointed at all and had a great evening along with the other diners. It is quirky and different, and the food is excellent with a good choice on the menu and specials board. The owners, Roger and Mary run it themselves, with Mary in the kitchen and Roger front of house. Roger is so entertaining and the whole experience is more than just a meal. We are normally private people, just wanting to enjoy our own company, but have never been anywhere else where you relax so easily and end up talking with fellow diners - all down to Roger and his manner. None of us there that night wanted to leave, and we all stayed far longer than expected - again, all down to Roger and his great company. It was one of the best nights we've had in a long time and we'll be back as soon as we can! Thank you Roger and Mary

Very good food, relaxed atmosphere, really nice and attentive service. You feel comfortable here. And everything home-made. Top.

This cafe went above and beyond. Not only did I get chips and cheese with a coffee (after a 30mile bike ride) but I also managed to charge my phone and when I asked when the ferry was due got an up to the minute status

We went to the quiz night run by the Rotary Club. We didn't win but it was a lovely night with 12 teams of players. They put on a great food selection.

Absolutely brilliant grub and a lovely team that served it

Been to the restaurant a few times and the food is always great. Staff are attentive and is reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend and will be back.
