The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Visited today. Soup was nice but staff not willing to give me a slice of bread or a roll instead of a baguette (sure there would have been a roll spare given breakfast had just finished). Very inflexible. Soup was tasty though. Steak pie nice not a steak pie per se but stew in a bowel with a pastry lid which was very under done but meat and chips nice enough. Quite expensive not value for money. Staff didn’t interact much with customers. It’s a lovely setting though and dog friendly but won’t be rushing back.

First time in Leven, wanted a bite to eat - came across Oscars. Lovely mug of coffee (nice and strong); followed by a bacon roll for me and a BLT for Himself. All absolutely delicious, and fresh - bread not just good, excellent!

Really good value, tasty food, excellent pancakes and ice cream. A nice place to be. Will be returning for certain.

We were staying locally snd wanted to get a bit closer to some of the famous highland cows. We were taken on a walk though the farm firlds by the owner Jane to meet the different groups of cows including some really young ones. Jane was fascinating providing insight into the running of the farm and Highland Fold business, the farm ecosystem and the North Atlantic rainforest plus of course the star attraction highland cows themselves! We had a fabulous afternoon and would highly recommend the experience plus the barn cafe where we had coffee, delicious cake and ice cream!

Went for breakfast before we got on the boat home - excellent food and great, friendly service - just wished we discovered it when we arrived on the island so that we could have used it more - really enjoyed our visit

Wife and I had a couple of really tasty dishes on Fri night in the rugby field pitch in Stockbridge. We must have raised the average age somewhat! Surrounded by 20 somethings, what a hoot to watch. Good food.

Excellent pizzas and a great choice that differs from the norm. Great atmosphere and service too. Definitely recommend

We have been poping into Rabbit Hole Cakes since it opened, their brownies and other cake treats are absolutely delicious! So it was a no-brainer deciding where we would get our wedding cake made. We picked a red velvet cake, with black lime frosting to fit our black theme. It was absolutely delicious, it went down really well! We also had some black blondie favours made up, which were equally delicious. We really appreciate all the effort that went into our day!

Serendipity. Much better than that which we were seeking. ‘Seed to Plate’ invites you in, with an implicit promise of wholesome care and diffidence, a promise fulfilled. Eat well, in the broadest sense of that phrase, and feel good about yourself and the impact you have.

A really amazing snack van, that's sells top quality food and its extremely cheap. Highly recommend!!

This is a fantastic little cafe/coffee shop in Alyth. Very friendly and food and coffee are great. Mike, the owner, takes great pride in his work - and is a wonderful cook. We’d particularly recommend the pizzas and paninis!

We’ve stayed just down the road from the Gaelic Centre four times now but this is the first time we’ve realised that the cafe is open outwith special events. We had excellent coffee and scones served by lovely friendly staff. The centre is very peaceful and has great views. We also really enjoyed seeing the paintings by local artist Dieter Finger - both the landscapes and the impressive portraits of some of the musicians who’ve played at the Lagavulin jazz festival in the past.

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.

A really friendly place that shows what can be achieved when a community pulls together to save a pub at it’s heart. Great selection of Gins and really great music events.

On a holiday to Montrose and we sat in and ordered a fish supper, tasted lovely all freshly made. The best we have had in a long time. Would highly recommend the meal. Kai told us he is changing the name to Montrose fish and chips so look out for it on the High Street.
