The best restaurants in Arbroath East and Lunan Angus Central Scotland

We found this place by a chance, as we were waiting for our train. But I couldn't be happier, this place was absolutely magical. We had hot chocolates and a tea as we didn't have much time, but everything was delicious. The staff was super friendly. If I haven't lived over 2000kms away from this place, I would be a regular customer for sure.

So accommodating. Wonderful staff. Food perfect. Can't speak highly enough of the restaurant. The chicken with peppercorn sauce and the chicken with Diane sauce were so tasty.

This man is just the highlight if the train station in arbroath. Best service in town and he is there in all coldness also. his coffee is the best. I love the Americano but have had the latte and cappuccino too and equally as good. Have to get a coffee each time I get the train and he's there!

We have visited Ashbrook cafe and Garden Centre on many occasions. You know you are going to get a polite and warm welcome from all the staff when you enter. We all ordered our coffee then made our selection of cakes. The scones came warmed with butter and jam, and the raspberry roulade was absolutely delicious. As we hadn't seen our friend for a while we had a lot of catching up to do. The cafe got very busy, but we weren't made to feel we had been too long. We then visited the garden centre and made some purchases. They now are starting to display gifts for Christmas. There is ample car parking and we'll certainly be visiting again. To all the staff, keep smiling, you are doing a grand job.

Found this little gem last year and were delighted to find they'd risen to the Covid challenge and were operating on a takeaway basis, so on our road north this autumn we were able to book our lunch in advance, and it was every bit as good as what we ate indoors there on our previous visit. Food absolutely fresh and full of flavour - the Mexican GF wrap absolutely zinging and the Ham and Cheese Foccacia utterly delicious. Beautifully presented in environmentally friendly packaging. And the cakes - well, let's not even think about the calorie count - they were fantastic, both the ones we enjoyed on our picnic and those we took for our family to share for socially distanced morning coffee the following day. If you are in Arbroath area, please do yourself a favour and eat at Wild Thyme - you will not regret it, especially if you are veggie, vegan or GF and fed up being palmed off with a single tasteless afterthought on a menu.

An amazing place. Lots of memories of walking through there as a teenager. Highly recommended, you need at least 3 hours for a good tour. Free admission.

didnt stay at the rooms, dined in the restaurant. Small but very well decorated place - loved the bathrooms too. Tasting menu is absolutely amazing - the cauliflower veloute was the surprise standout of the evening. Haggis bon bons were also delicious! As was the salmon course. Everything was delicious! Great service too - Maria was a great host. Loved the little touch of leaving the tasting menu near your table so you could follow it. Hope to be back next time we are up in Scotland.

We had not been back here for a while. However very happy we went back. The food was delicious, and the Greek salad we ordered as a side dish was the best we have had. Very good service and a great experience. We will definitely be back.

I didnt have the change before to write down a good review and I think never is late. Probably in this restaurant you can try one of the best turkish food in all the UK, I can be sure about that, I travel a lot around all the UK and I tried many of turkish restaurants. Food is really nice but the most amazing dish is their Homemade Backlava. Amazing!!

Nice range of produce and very knowledgeable and informative staff. We bought a couple of smokies which we enjoyed for our lunch. Changed its name to Cels more fish if you looking for it but same place. We came here a couple of years ago and had a similarly warm welcome.

Lovely little cafe although slightly eccentric as the prices seem high but you get enormous amounts of food. It was also well presented and tasted great. Tea in china cups as well.

Had most amazing afternoon tea, large variety of cakes, and sandwiches of your choice 😋

Great food and friendly staff 👌

Brilliant atmosphere. excellent service. I am honestly shocked how this place is not spread all over the world. everything was amazing!

A magnificent place for anyone in Angus great rooms great service great location
