The best restaurants in Central Scotland

We had a fantastic experience renting bikes here! The service was friendly and straightforward, with excellent tour recommendations tailored to our plans and fitness levels. We rented two e-mountain bikes for £90 a day and enjoyed a wonderful tour from Pitlochry to Blair Castle and the surrounding areas. Helmets and a bike lock were included, and the return process was just as easy. We would definitely rent bikes from here again in the future!

Genuinely my absolute favourite fish and chip shop in Perth. Never had better anywhere else, always so fresh and tastes amazing. The staff are extremely friendly and waiting times are really good too. Three times in the last month I’ve had a sausage supper and single fish supper and each time I’m reminded why I go back. Truly the best in Perth.

We had a really lovely meal—the food was exquisite, and the wine pairing stood out as one of the best we’ve ever experienced. While the wines themselves may not have been the most premium, the flavour combinations with each course were absolutely spot on, elevating the entire dining experience. That said, the overall experience didn’t quite match the quality of the food and drink and I’m not sure we’d rush back. The service, while polite and attentive, felt overly formal and lacked warmth, which made it a bit impersonal. At times, we felt rushed, with servers hovering or asking to clear plates too soon. A request to delay the cheese course was met with a surprisingly rigid response, leaving us a little taken aback. The atmosphere also felt underwhelming, with dated decor, bright lighting and a somewhat forlorn Christmas tree that didn’t add to the charm. Perhaps visiting during summer to take advantage of the beautiful views would enhance the experience, as dining on a dark winters evening maybe didn’t showcase the setting at its best. If you visit, I’d recommend booking an earlier sitting to avoid feeling hurried and to fully savour the truly excellent food and wine (earlier than 8pm!).

I was genuinely impressed by the food at this restaurant, both in taste and presentation. Having been repeatedly let down by restaurants/cafés in Perth, I had almost given up hope of finding quality dining in the area. However, by pure chance, we discovered Craobh Kroov, and I placed my order with some skepticism. When the food arrived, I was immediately struck by the thoughtful presentation—clearly the work of someone passionate about their craft. After the first bite, it became evident that the flavors surpassed even the stunning visuals. My compliments to the chef and the attentive waiting staff for transforming what began as a random visit into such a delightful experience. I am already looking forward to returning soon!

We loved this cozy spot! Stopped for a quick lunch on the way to Inverness and thoroughly enjoyed our sandwiches. The portions were perfect, great cup of tea, and amazing salad on the side. Would definitely go back!

Great place to talk and make memories. Greatly staff who make you smile

Excellent Italian restaurant, recommend the antipasto to start, it’s huge and easily enough for two.

Small coffee shop and bakery in the centre of Dunkeld. Interesting choice of sandwiches and pastries for eat in and takeaway.

A,very good menu. Look out for daily specials. Staff are always polite.

After searching for restaurants on Bute before our visit there, The Waterfront's reviews were consistently good, so we booked for the beginning of our holiday. We were not disappointed! The food was truly delicious, but not only that, we and the couple we met at the next table enjoyed a very entertaining evening of fun and banter. So much so, we were both there again a few nights later, we had enjoyed it so much, and of course we wanted to try more of the outstanding food. Thank you Gabriel and the Waterfront for making our stay on Bute that much more memorable! 5 stars without a doubt and highly recommended.

Best place in Stirlingshire! Attention to detail is impeccable from food, coffee to service.

Great bagels and perfect coffee served by lovely people. A wee gem.

1st class all round good food good service highly recomended ,

I have ordered three times from them and I guess this is the best time to write a review for Curry Heights in Inverkeithing. The food is delicious, portions are great and prices are reasonable. What impressed me is the consistency, three in a row and all time food was spot on!

The ladies were lovely, the food was incredible, the space was wonderful. Sp happy to have stumbled onto this gem when visiting from Canada!
