The best restaurants in Dunblane and Bridge of Allan Stirling Central Scotland

The food was fantastic! Bar staff, outstanding. And Box O Bananas were great entertainment. A great night!

I've visited this chip shop on multiple occasions over multiple years and without exception it has confirmed itself as one of my all time favourites. In particular the fish is always a generous portion of fresh chunky flaky fish, quite unlike the increasingly meagre thin fillets provided by poorer rivals. The fish is beautifully cooked in tasty , crispy batter. The chips are so tasty that the last one on your plate is as yummy as the first. Please, please may this restaurant never drop it standards 🙏

It was early on a Saturday night. We had a table booked for 7.30. Really liked the atmosphere and the decor of the bar. Something really different for Stirling/Bridge of Allan. Has the feel of a bigger city bar. We had a table by the fire which was great. However by 8pm a DJ had appeared and cranked up the volume. The music was generally ok but was just far too loud. We couldn't hear each other. It isn't a nightclub, at least not at at 8pm in the evening :) We asked for it to be turned down and it was for 5 mins then I could see the DJ turning it up again. It would have been more balanced at a lower volume, at that time of night. Simple solution. Turn it up after food has been eaten and the kitchen closed. We ate up as quickly as possible and left. We would go back but not for food and probably on a quieter evening.

All the staff are Friendly, welcoming, professional and cheerful. Always a pleasure to visit!

Really good choice of food, vegan and gluten free menus. Nice cosy place, tasty food and friendly staff. Highly recommended!!

We only popped in for one drink but ended up spending the whole afternoon here. Had a great time. Nice people behind the bar and would definitely recommend the pies.

Really enjoyed our visit to Friend of Mine that had a great menu with lots to choose from. Chose the salmon Benedict and the taste and flavours were great. Hot roast salmon with beautiful poached eggs - shall be back. Also had the breakfast bap which is more than a handful. There is passion in the kitchen and it shows. Good service and a busy place which shows that everyone appreciates the quality being offered.

Went in for a few drinks whilst staying in the area for work. I was tempted with the specials board and opted for the fish tzatziki. It was to die for and never thought a pub would have such an exotic choice. The flavours were fantastic and the smoked fish melted in your mouth. Friendly staff and decent price for beers. Recommend

Lovely Liz on counter is like a warm hug....very vegan friendly...would def recommend if you're anywhere near to call in....

Service is stunning! . . . all staff we met were knowledgeable, elegantly gracious, polished yet discreetly unobtrusive. Our server, Callum, provided a proficiently responsive service. The food is ambrosial! . . . comprising seasonal dishes, locally sourced, innovatively crafted, into delectable blends of colours, textures and flavours. For example: Partridge, Pork Cheek, Red Wine & Beetroot Risotto, Garden Kale. Yummy! The layout, decor and outside garden provide a relaxed, stylish environment.

Beautiful surroundings with excellent service and furnishings. The menu was varied although the dessert menu was very limited. The ambience was spoiled by the strong smell of cooking fish during our meal even though we were not too near the open kitchen.

What a great little tea room. Found it by accident, what a good find. Anne Marie and the rest of the staff were lovely. Food was lovely and we now know what a stovie. Finished off with home made scone and Hummingbird cake.Delicious. Will definitely call again on our next visit. Nick and Carl

Plato de pescado de mercado sobreprecio. Servido con una patata bebé en rodajas ( realmente esperando al menos 4 - 5 patatas bebé para ser justo ) y algunos guisantes en una salsa. No muy lleno. La trucha de mar era sabrosa, pero los logros fueron muy escasos. Ambiente agradable y agradable para el personal, pero caro

Excelente almuerzo de aniversario. Todos los platos eran deliciosos, amable y atento personal y buena relación calidad-precio de la comida. Burrata, gambas de chile para empezar, seguido de pescado de mercado (merluza - delicioso) y salsa de salmón y langosta pasta. Helado de afgota y menta y bollo choux de chocolate para terminar.

First time to Crook and will certainly be back. Friendly staff, great service, delicious tapas & cocktails- thoroughly enjoyed our last stop on the Stirling Cocktail wee trail
