The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Chef Steve likes to discuss the menu with guests in advance, which increases the expectation of imaginative and beautifully presented meals. Even he admits that his portions are on the generous size – as will their guests be after a few of his meals. And then there's the banter with partner and sommelier Maurice ... great fun!

Has the essentials, and some scottish foodstuffs too. Saw some local cheeses, but was gone by the time I realised i should have bought it. You can buy pasties and drinks & sit outside on some tables. Friendly staff

So pleased we booked this, we had a lovely evening a lovely way to celebrate. The food was delicious and the wine package was really good, there was another 2 couples dining, and it was a pleasure to chat with them after the meal.A very personal evening thoroughly recommend

Went with family to enjoy the eat out to help out. Great food, service & value for money. We would definitely recommend.

Only our 2nd visit here, but the portion sizes are huge and staff are friendly. The prices have slightly increased but it's still well worth the money! We tried the strawberry sundae, chocolate fudge sundae and the ferrero sundae, Highly recommend.

Best Takeaway I have ever had in this area BTW there phone number is 01382 782100 if you would like to place order for collection or delivery.

Always a joy to buy from Stephens the Bakers. Highly recommended. Friendly staff and tasty food. Never had a bad buy from this establishment. 5*

Proper artisanal Italian gelato and cakes. Very clean and nice place to stop by. We ordered the vanilla and strawberry ice-cream and then a few cakes to takes away (semifreddo, lemon, tiramissu). Most definitely recommended.

This spot is amazing for a big breakfast! We are not golfers but decided to try this place out as we had heard from friends that the food was worth trying- we were not disappointed!! the presentation is amazing and for such a low price (£9.50) i was amazed with the quality of the food. Will have to try the Sunday roast at some point! safe to say we will definitely be back 😉 xx

Hidden gem. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Pleasant walk just near this place. We had homemade lunch followed by delicious cakes and coffee. There is also a little shop in the cafe which had some nice local goods in.

I came across smokey's and some other restaurants when I had a kitchen remodelled and didn't want to order from the same places all the time. Since then, Smokey's is one I return to regularly as their burgers and fries are delicious and very reasonably priced. Wasn't so keen on the cake we ordered but I think they might buy those in.

Visiting Montrose for the first time as my partner’s mother has just moved there. She found this bakery on a 10 best website in Montrose and we walked down to try it. A five minute walk from the centre, it is a lovely and bright little shop with a few sets of tables to eat in and a beautiful display of different flavours of tart and a selection of cakes. I’ve now visited twice in two days and had hot chocolate, flat white, salmon and spinach tart, raspberry and vanilla cheesecake, lemon and blueberry cake, and pistachio and chocolate brownie. This may sound slightly greedy but trust me, it was all worth it! Highly recommend for takeaway or eat in. Friendly and chatty staff, a family run business that also sell at local farmers markets.

Staff always friendly food is great My favourite a wee grill kebab and chips Always hear great things about this takeaway

I am slowly making my way through Euan's menu. I have not found anything not to like so far. The mussels in garlic and bacon cream served with pasta was my latest try and it was delicious. Food comes out in good time and is well presented and tasty. Good selection of drinks. Competitive prices. Fabulous Coffee - the best I have tasted.

We stopped for an ice cream and drink whilst visiting the Kelpies. The ice creams were the biggest one scoop ice creams we’ve ever had and delicious dessert. Staff very friendly and a view to die for
