The best restaurants in Scotland

Not applicable as we did not stay overnight but had booked for lunch.

Best curry I've ever eaten, again. This is the one behind the Mosque, not the one on the road that says it's the original. Proper food, lovely welcome and service. Great coffee too.

So good we went here twice. Strongly recommend the beef and the hake. The service was excellent, friendly and warm. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Lovely baked potatoes, wraps and toasties. All were really nice. Will definitely go back.

The lady working was lovely but the breakfast was awful; cheap sausage, no haggis or black pudding, one mushroom, toast had been waved in the direction of a toaster and not particularly cheap. I love a good greasy spoon cafe but this isnt one. And there were chips on it which I've never had as a breakfast item.

My friend made reservations for a late lunch for three of us during a weekday. Whilst the food was delicious it was a little pricey for what was served - especially given the small portion sizes. Overall the service was friendly, and we did happen to enjoy ourselves. From a personal perspective though, I would say this restaurant is catered more towards an older generation. The atmosphere is very quiet and "proper" - not the sort of place a group of friends can have their yearly catch up.

This place was super - the food, coffee and for being so dog friendly. Great service with a chilled vibe. I'm going back!

We had a great breakfast at Blend. The choice is wide and the products are good. In addition, the staff is the friendliest!!

An excellent dinner with friends at Glaschu. Great service from all staff especially Jasmine. Food was great, hot, tasty, well presented and as described in the menu. Had the reasonable priced Market menu. Overall a first class dining experience, will definitely go again.

Lovely stop on our way north. Delicious food and wonderful and warm service.

As it’s a small popular place booking in advance is probably recommended. We were looking for a table on a Saturday night during the Spring Fling event in the region so left a message with the restaurant whilst traveling to Kirkcudbright. The owner returned the call and fortunately, thanks to a cancellation, was able to arrange our reservation for dinner the following night - a promising start. On the evening of our visit the bistro was busy however there was still a relaxed ambiance about the place. The sole waitress taking orders and attending to the tables was pleasant and seemed knowledgeable about the menu and the only other member of staff appeared to be the owner/chef. He popped out and chatted with us towards the end of service to allow the waitress to get home as a few diners like us were finishing off drinks and still to receive their desserts and settle their bills. He seemed sociable and relaxed and clearly hadn’t adopted the Gordon Ramsay approach to the restaurant business. Being a small place we were not surprised at the outset that the menu was limited to about half a dozen items per course including specials however it gave a decent choice in our view. We both ordered a “special” for starters - Tempura Battered Prawns (£7.95). As was the case throughout the evening, the dish was served up to the table in good time. Six king prawns each with a sweet chilli sauce with a salad garnish and balsamic. It was a tasty start. For mains my wife ordered the Seabass, served with king prawns, a white wine & tomato sauce and fresh vegetables (£21.00). I had Duck a L’Orange (£21.95) which was another item from the specials board. Neither of the mains dishes would be winning prizes for presentation however most importantly they both tasted good. The fish was nicely cooked and my wife enjoyed the other parts of the dish. The duck was also good albeit the chef was later surprised I’d left the fat on the plate. I queried if people normally ate the fat and he commented that they often do and that he rendered it to make it more appealing. Thankfully this was not an overly fatty duck breast in any case but I was quite happy to leave the small amount I did on the plate. For dessert my wife had Sticky Toffee Pudding with ice cream and I had a Citrus Tart served with a small selection of fresh berries and cream. The puddings were £6.50 each and both enjoyable. Overall we liked our experience at the bistro and with our three course meal for two costing just under £72 we thought it was reasonable value for money. We had added a bottle of NZ Yealands Sauvignon Blanc wine for £25 only just keeping the bill under £100. A walk to the harbour to watch the sunset as we headed back to our accommodation rounded off the evening well.

On a solo sailing trip to Tarbert I was fortunate to get a call back confirming that a table had now become available. I don't normally do fine dining without the wife. My starter of Scallops in garlic butter with Samphire was excellent, no, they were better than excellent, followed by delicious Cod Fillet in sauce. The team were welcoming and the whole dining experience was first class. Meeting a friendly and knowledgeable couple from New Zealand made the "Dinner for One" a more relaxed and enjoyable evening. Go there, eat good food, get great service, and meet nice people.

Popped in for light lunch and decided on the field mushroom filled with haggis smoked cheese together with crispy potatoe and fresh mixed and dressed salad which was off the starter menu. All I can say is what a stunning clever dish. Wonderful and priced well. Thank you.

Restsurant bit cold service 5 star have never been charged for a polysterine tub to take away what's not bn eaten
