The best restaurants in Scotland

After arriving on Isle of Harris we were looking for a place to get some drinks to warm up. We decided to try this place as it also functions as a small gallery. The views from the cafe were amazing and they also had some great paintings. We just had a coffee and a hot chocolate as neither of us were really hungry. Both tasted great and came out quickly. The service was super friendly as well so I would definitely recommend the place especially because the sweet treats looked so good.

Great food and more importantly beer, served by very funny and polite servers Justyna and Nathan where both great and made a brilliant experience for everyone.

What a fabulous find! This cute little cafe served up an amazing breakfast of Eggs Caledonia and a Full meat breakfast. Just excellent. The eggs Caledonia is served with black pudding instead of a typical meat and it is wonderful. I didn't think I would like it but it really is delicious. The homemade hollandaise sauce was the best ever! The staff were warm and inviting. Highly recommend this wonderful unassuming cafe.

Nuestra última visita a este restaurante el día de San Valentín fue una vez más excelente en términos de calidad, servicio y relación calidad-precio. Una fantástica elección pre-teatro y experiencia! Mención especial a Carrie y Steven por ser tan atentos.

Th bacon and egg roll and the caramel latte was first class ! Tasty and filling just what I needed ! The staff are lovely and the cafe is spotless ! 👏🏻👏🏻 ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐

So lovely everyone was so welcoming and inclusive made us feel like part of the community. Food was very tasty the brownies are to die for proper chunks of chocolate and bought some artwork which is beautiful. If we loved locally we'd be there all the time. 100/10

Of course it was wonderful to be greeted by Max, the guard dog! Nice atmosphere for drinks, and to learn a little about the area. Book ahead for dinner there - it gets great reviews, and many people were trying to get a table with no success. It will be on our list for next time!

Lovely wee spot with delicious food and great service ! Would recommend the chicken tikka panini, made with real chicken tikka 🥰 beautiful cakes aswell!!!

Brilliant time… the food was amazing as always! Only to be outdone by the unforgettable welcome and service provided by Lello and his team! We have just found our new go to family restaurant for years to come 🥰👏🏽

Amazing - very nicely decorated place, super friendly stuff and very high quality culinaric experience. Just perfect

I booked with slight trepidation after reading some mixed reviews. Staying at Fionnphort or 2 nights with my wife to visit Iona & Staffa and as the trip coincided with my wife's birthday I booked the Ninth Wave as a treat. We both eat out regularly in Scotland and abroad and have been lucky enough to visit some Michelin starred places over the years. The service at Ninth Wave was slightly quirky but very pleasant and the dining room small but very relaxed. The quality of food served was beyond expectations and on a par with some Michelin starred establishments. The format is akin to a tasting menu with 3 or 4 smaller plates (#4 is dessert), cheese as an optional extra and coffee / petit fours included. We shared a decent bottle of white from an interesting list. I had scallops and wood pigeon while my wife had the mackerel and crab stuffed courgette blossom. We both chose the half lobster "main" course. the Pigeon was slightly tough but otherwise the food was faultless. The lobster was exceptional and so refreshing to see it on a menu without the usual pricing supplement. Fabulous evening - thank you Carla and John. We will visit again one day.

Yet again another sublime dinner, fantastic flavours, amazing presentation, cannot praise it highly enough. The front of house staff are so friendly, professional and knowledgeable, the dining room exudes old country house vibes, and Chef Patron Calum Montgomery, Scottish chef of the year, deserves every accolade, cannot wait for our next visit. Thank you to the Edinbane Lodge team for a wonderful experience.

Where do I start? From the minute of booking and yes you do have to prebook ( they don't do walk ins), to the moment you leave, the whole experience is personal and first class. Knocking on the door may seem strange but from that moment on Rose knows your name and is the perfect host. Embrace the atmosphere of the restaurant it's one sitting and your meal is also prebooked. You are never rushed and encouraged to take your time. The food is what you pay for, Quality and lovingly cooked by Patrick (chef/owner) who comes to see everyone after their meals and spends time talking to you about you, and your meal, afterwards you can stay at the table or retire to the lounge area which we did for cocktails. I've never experienced such warmth, fantastic food and yet intimacy in one hit but I'll definitely go again Starter: Goats cheese salad Main: venison lasagne Desert: scottish tiramsu Bill: no suprises as prebooked plus whatever drinks you order.

Visited this wonderful tea room having visited the area and read the reviews. Had a lovely cup of tea with the most amazing home made chocolate orange cake. There was a huge choice of cake available, I’m not sure how the lady remembered them all. We never looked at the lunch menu, but will next time we visit. All of the staff were really friendly. The lady did tell us that they don’t take cards but could take a bank transfer or cash. If visiting the area, a stop off is definitely recommended.

First time visiting here and pleasantly surprised, very nice decor, servers couldnt do enough and were all very friendly and always checking if we were ok and needing anything. Food was very nice, mum gave a strong 10 for the prawn cocktail (which rarely happens) good size portions and lots of delicious vegetables...really pleased, would definitely recommend and will definitely return
