The best restaurants in Scotland

Cannot recommend enough. We had the family platter with halloumi fries and regular fries. The food was prepared lovingly and in good time and the portions as well as taste were very well received by our whole group.

Beautiful restaurant. Food variety great. I have been three times and have tried most of their starters and main courses and they were all very tasty and beautifully presented. The service was also very good. I would recommend their starters and the trio of dips highly. As for main course the seafood dishes were amazing. I’ll definitely go back again.

Great little cafe which has gifts upu can also buy and great cakes!

Gorgeous restaurant serving amazing fresh food. Service excellent

Best pizza in the town very friendly atmosphere

Delicioso restaurante griego con un trato excepcional por parte del personal. Se agradece comida fresca y sana en un viaje largo por escocia. Gracias Angelos por tu amabilidad.

Only came in for beer today but a lovely pub and staff

Excellent brunch spot. FYI there is a line as soon as the place opens so make sure to come early. Solid Veggie Haggis 👌🏽Would definitely come again.

It's a great shame that this place will be closing shortly because the food and the staff are so lovely! Super according to a coeliac and went above + beyond in everything. Best of luck to Mr Pooks and all those involved in this little gem.

40 minutes drove just to see it's close opening hours wrong

Having reserved our table for two, we arrived on 15.Oct.2024, at 8 pm. We were seated at the entrance and enjoyed our first ordering: Umi Plum Tea for two, which is a cold drink composed of (japanese) plum wine and (scottish)whiskey, delicately served on two chique ice cubes (22£). The whiskey quite present, tasted nicely, but after the melting of the ice the whole tended a bit watery. Around 21:00 (we had finished our orderings but still hungry), we thought best to order somewhat more (an extra roll and some scallops). There we were told this was to be the last ordering. I was surprised, as the website mentions 22:30 as closing time. My daughter made me understand that we were the last guests present and that we probably should leave by 21:30. This was probably true, as the waiters started sweeping the floor at around 21:10 and opening the entrance door for letting the fresh air in (around +3 degrees C). This is probably "couleur locale". After this refreshing Zen-experience, I asked for the bill, which was at 188 £. Being surprised by the amount, I checked and it turned out that it was "only" 133£. And was swiftly corrected by the waitress, handing over the proper bill. Funnily, this also happened to me two years ago in an italian restaurant, then also accompagnied by a very young lady (my niece). I come to think that older men, accompagnied by a young lady, do not tend to check their bill and pay whatever? But, we were able to leave at 21:25 h. Ah, yes, almost forgot; normally I tip around 10%; This time I did not, since I did not feel particularly well treated. Anyhow, upon re-checking the bill at home, it turned out that 10% "service charge" were added, "ex officio". As I said before, charming "couleur locale". By the way, I believe, when floor sweeping, it is best to put the chairs on the tables. All the best for this little japanese restaurant!

Visited this place at its current and old location dozens of times over the years (literally), loved it more on each occasion!

We came here for a meal to celebrate our engagement and had 3 courses each plus drinks. The food could not be faulted - compliments to the chef. Staff very friendly and great service. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Been coming here since 2022, latter half of my undergrad year and man does it continue to impress. Lovely food, great team, always a lively atmosphere, excellent outdoor seating. Thank you for giving all on and off campus a caffeine kick and a place to be no matter what reason.

Very good atmosphere in this very pleasant little restaurant! The food is excellent, the cocktails very good and the service perfect! If you pass through Edinburgh don't miss this restaurant!
