The best restaurants in Brechin and Edzell Angus 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!

Popped up in for soup and a sandwich after a trip to St Cyrus beach. Wish we'd discovered this gem sooner! Love the old railway and the cafe itself is full of character. Loved the warm welcome, friendly quick service, good food and wander around the station afterwards. Thank you!

Visited the sister cafe in Broughty Ferry. Really enjoyed the Brownie, which was one of the best I've tasted. The coffee was very good too. We had the Four Seasons blend, which I think is the house blend. We will be back, and will try the Brechin Cafe the next time we are there.

Warm, friendly service and amazing homemade cake served in beautiful woodland setting. We sat outside with our dog but owner invited us in but chose to sit outside at the picnic tables overlooking the pretty pond and our coffee and cake was brought out to us.

Excellent cafe. 2 Coffees and 2 bacon rolls for just over £8. The coffees and rolls were great quality. Well worth a visit if the need arises.

A fantastic little restaurant on the A90. The staff were very accommodating with a large party arriving unannounced. The food and service were excellent. Toilets spotless. Would throughly recommend.

On a cold day we chose the restaurant to accommodate elderly diners thinking it would have a little more room than the bar - it did - we were the only people in it while a number of people seemed to come and go to the bar area where food is served. Our only real issue was that the large space was only just adequately heated although we were all less aware of this once the food arrived. There was a longish wait between ordering and serving but it was well worth it as the food was beautifully prepared, thoughtfully served and very good. The menu is quite extensive and interesting. Staff were pleasant but not over-fussy.

We went for lunch and decided on hot roast pork with mashed potatoes and veg . When it came it was 2 thin pork chops that needed cooked longer . Lumpy mashed dry potatoes , 4 slices of carrots and a lot of peas . Usually we enjoy our lunch here to be fair but it let us down today . We did not complain but paid £24 for it . Maybe we should have .

Stopped in for lunch on a recommendation. Really nice atmosphere, clean and well attentive staff. Tables are well spaced so you don't feel you are rating on top of other tables. Varied lunch menu and a great selection of cakes. Food was lovely and good value, definitely be back here.

What a lovely place, nice menu and a waitress not too busy to make sure that you had all you needed. My cousin is a celiac, so we have to be selective in our eateries, these guys catered for her with a great choice of meals down to the puddings. Very busy and having to turn folk away or ask them to wait.. Toilets clean and sweet smelling too👍👍👍

Excellent lounge bar which apart from having some unusual beers/Cider also offers an excellent food menu. The food is really good, and both the Steak pie and haddock are highly recommended.

Used to be great for Fish and Chips, but had quite a few bad meals (burnt overcooked Fish, poor chips etc) when you tell them the next time they seem uninterested that the last meals went in the bin. Shame when a fish and Chip shop cannot be relied upon to do a good meal

The view from the dining room was lovely and the staff were super friendly and welcoming, unfortunately, the food was not great. The lasagne tasted like a poor-quality frozen ready meal and the mac 'n' cheese was not very nice. The chips were good, though. Unfortunately, for several days afterwards I had an upset stomach. Apparently, due to staff shortages, their menu was reduced and maybe they didn't have the qualified staff who usually prepare the food. Maybe we were just unfortunate and did not sample their food at its best.

Had Afternoon Tea at Airlie House recently for a friend's 50th birthday (private event). This place is amazing. Could not fault it. Kathleen, our host for the day, was so warm and welcoming and could not do enough for us. The food was all homemade and tasted lovely. There was so much we could not eat it all. The dining room in which we ate was so tastefully decorated for the occasion. Before we ate we were given a tour of the house with a resume of its history. I will definitely be visiting again.

Excellent carvery, 3 course meal followed by dancing. Celebrating golden wedding. Lovely helpful staff.
