The best restaurants in Scotland

Lovely meal. Music too loud. Lacked atmosphere. Coffee absolutely awful.

As a picky eater that never usually likes any food at restaurants, this is the first time I truly enjoyed the food and thought it deserved a Michelin star. The food had a delicious smoky grilled taste and excellent flavour. The portions were massive and definitely worth the price and the food contained both quality and quantity. The staff paid good attention to everyone even during busy times and were very friendly, even providing free complimentary Turkish delights at the end as well as yummy bread at the start of the course. Not only was their food good but their dessert had the same high standard too (it's usually rare to find a restaurant with both good food and good dessert). So if you are looking for a good place to eat authentic Turkish food and high quality grilled meat then I definitely recommend this place. P.S I forgot to take pictures as I wasn't expecting the food to be this good.

My husband and I went here for food before going to the concert hall. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming. We were looked after very well and the food was delicious. We had the Chateaubriand and it was perfectly cooked. Even the tomatoes were grilled properly ( this is a bugbear of mine when tomatoes are barely warmed rather than grilled ) We rarely go out and so this was a special treat for us and that being said I had a gorgeous apple cocktail ( I can't remember the name sorry ) which I recommend x We watched the burgers coming from the kitchen and they looked amazing and so a return visit is definitely on the cards! Thank you Meat for a delicious, pleasant dining experience xx

My absolutely favorite breakfast spot in Edinburgh! Just writing this review makes me long for their delicious Full Scottish Breakfast (highly recommend!). The friendliness and warmth of the staff makes me feel welcomed and at ease. Even when this charming and cozy restaurant is full and busy, I still feel well tended to and appreciate the calmness and professionalism of the waiters. I also enjoy the Scottish touches -- like receiving a serving of haggis with the a miniature Scottish flag proudly placed in the center of the iconic dish. Will definitely return!

Service and food absolutely amazing,

This was the highlight of Fort William. Had a wonderful breakfast there with muesli and a Matcha Latte! Both super delicious, service was outstanding, atmosphere was nice!

This is some really good oink here, I passed by in the morning when for the walk on the hill and saw the pork being freshly pulled. Lovely! Service was fast

Wow, stop scrolling, and book here. The Three Birds is a must eat restaurant while you are in Scotland. Amazing food, with incredible provenance and fantastic, cheery Scottish hospitality.

I came here a few days ago. I booked a 12:30pm slot, and asked with 2 hours notice if we could move our slot to 1:30pm. The staff said no, and needed 48 hours notice to do so. I would understand this notice if it was busy or fully booked, but when I arrived there were around 10 other people and only 8 cats (not a lot compared to other cat cafes). Even though I am aware this is the only cat cafe that I am aware of in Scotland, it wasn't busy at all and found no reason not to move our booking for an hour later. In fact, we booked our visit on a Wednesday, purposefuly on the least busy time! After all this, we arrived half an hour late, and were given a talk on how to treat the cats- the four of us who arrived all own cats individually. I am aware the worker didn't know this, but it wasted our time further. The worker in specific was hostile and condescending, and we were a little upset prior to the visit due to the timing conflicts (which we are partially to blame for), so his attitude wasn't appreciated. In addition to this, the menu was overly expensive, although the female server was quite nice. Then, all 8 cats were asleep! Not one was awake the entire visit nor did any have any interest in us. You'd imagine for £12 per person the cats would be walking around, but no. Only go here if you fancy sitting and wasting your time for £12 and overly priced drinks, with hostile workers and cats who don't want to know you at all. Do not visit!

Food was excellent & good value for money, large portions.& plenty to choose from Staff were very polite & attentive. The margaritas are a must 🍹

Smashing Saturday lunch .. it’s like sitting in your living room… very comfortable afternoon, great for meeting friends. Great menu, lots of choice. Service great as usual.

Great meal to have. Definitely would come back for their pulled pork burger as well as their tbone steaks. Lovely service, people and selection of food. Extremely worth eating here.

We've been past this restaurant literally 100's of times, always meaning to have a meal there, but never found the time. Well last week we decided to give it a try. Phoned on the Friday evening to see if we could book a table at short notice and were delighted we were able to. We were greeted at the door and shown to our table by a very pleasant, helpful guy. We ordered a starter and main meal each plus some Cobra beer. The staff were absolutely excellent and served us promptly. Now the important bit ..... the food was awesome, I mean absolutely awesome! The starters are big, you could easily share 1 between 2. The main meals were brilliant and again plentiful. It's a shame we wasted so many years walking past this restaurant. We can't praise them enough, absolutely loved it.

Superb Sunday lunch, great place

Delicious food fusing Spanish tapas with South African favourites and Scottish indulgence. Each dish is a decent size (2-3 per person will fill you up) and there are South African and Spanish wine and beers. Friendly servers in a cosy, warm space. Indaba is now our go-to place for taking guests out for dinner.
