The best restaurants in Scotland

I had read good reviews online about this restaurant and it did not disappoint. I had the soup of the day (butternut and sweet potato) to start (delicious), baked hand made pasta tubes with the most delicious filling, topped with a creamy tomato sauce and for dessert a coconut panacotta with chocolate soil served with gooseberries and smooth vanilla ice cream! My husband had the baked handmade pizza dough, filled with cheese and topped with a tomato sauce followed by a venison and beef ragu with tagliatelle. He had coffee then envied my dessert but was too full to order one! This was the best restaurant meal we had on our break. The staff were lovely including Morag who owns the restaurant with Andre, her husband and chef.

It's a lovely quiet place with friendly staff who are very accommodating. Food is delicious. My only complaint is that it would be nice to have sauce packets on the table.

We went here for my birthday, as an extra special treat. It was brilliant, the five course tasting menu went from strength to strength. Additionally, they had a complete vegetarian tasting menu for my partner which was absolutely lovely. I would highly recommend going here if you have the opportunity to.

Gorgeous food and lovely setting

We have been here a few times now and returned to celebrate our engagement with family. Had an excellent experience with their set menu and the drinks and service were also fab. Would highly recommend. Staff are always very friendly and professional.

One of our favourite places to eat in Castle Douglas, if not our outright one. Proper authentic Italian food of really high quality, and they know how to entertain our 4 year old every time he's in. The fact they remember him is even better. Cannot recommend more highly.

I stayed at the hotel from November 1st to November 2nd. This morning, I was having breakfast at the hotel, when I was ordering, an old guy named Dorian, I raised my hand to him, I said: Excuse me, can I order. Then he came to me. He said OK guys, it's not just you, there are many guests, so don't call me. The reason I raised my hand to call him is that I am ready to order. He can come when he is ready. Then I ordered two highland breakfasts, but we only served two fried eggs. I waited for almost 30 minutes until I asked someone, can you check with the kitchen? Then I asked Dorian, he said "I'm sorry." Meaning he didn't order this for you. I am Asian, but I have never been treated like this by anyone. I do think this is racist behavior.

Great pub Good music Good clean toilets

Impressive coffee shop with an excellent food menu too. It's not very often I get food envy but I had it here seeing what others had ordered! Although it's quite big inside it was busy and I'd recommend booking in advance if you have a larger group. Parking at the public car park around the corner is cheap and convenient. This is a good meeting spot in Hamilton and I'd go back.

Ate here tonight before going to the theatre. Staff were efficient, service was good and the atmosphere was ok. Unfortunately the food was not good. My husband had lasagne. It was a small portion, bland and at £17.95, overpriced. That did not include a side such as a slice of garlic bread or veg. My friend had a vegetarian pizza which had little in the way of veg on the topping and again, was bland and oily. Really disappointed with the food and portion sizes.

Great staff, welcoming and enthusiastic

Rude staff! Arrogant and moody. One of them in there has offended me twice on separate occasions with their unfiltered comments that are unprofessional and opinionated. I considered myself a frequenter of Brewdog Perth because I like their stouts, but the last rude comment from this same member of staff was the last straw for me. I'd rather spend my hard earned money elsewhere.

There aren't words to express how wonderful this evening was. The food, service, entertainment and the cultural experience was 💯

Overpriced, slow service, dry chicken main dish and even basic coffee was not made right, Luke warm, had to ask for sugar, just overall nothing special. Will not return.

Fabulous. Just fabulous. Warm, friendly and with great food. The best Eggs Benedict I've ever had. Having been trying to find a breakfast on route up the A90 we struck gold.
