The best restaurants in Scotland

One of my favourite restaurant ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊

Ate at the restaurant (didn't stay overnight). Great little restaurant, very tasty food and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend.

Walkes from the Boat Inn. Walked in a greeted by the owner. Poppadoms and tray was fresh and lots of choices. Chicken tikka main course was big and absolutely amazing. Soft chicken and onions. My partner had Lamb shashlik masala. Loaded with soft lamb. Naan breads were very tasty. Excellent service. Parking available outside the Indian. Reasonable priced. Highly recommend

My girlfriend loves your Lasagna and garlic bread and your pizzas 🍕 was delicious will definitely be buying regular thanks

Had a spot of lunch for my little girl & the wife served up by Holly & Laura ! Absolutely smashing 😁👏 10/10 Thanks guys !

Quaint out of the way restaurant. Would be good to take visiting family somewhere different. Very friendly staff without being overpowering. Lovely well presented tasty food. I'd definitely go back.

Beautiful restaurant friendly staff

A recent discovery with healthy and delicious food! Matcha latte was great as well 🍵 I wish they were open on Sundays

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.

Excellent variety, quality and service

Was here with friends and have never seen anything like it! I have worked in hospitality and this was embarrassing! Service was shocking with staff clearly not wanting to be there and clearly not coping, some of the customers were even offering to help! Food offering was very poor, bar staff were sinking and ran out of many things which resulted in the owner nipping to the shop across the road for wine.

Tucked away by the canal, Ocho in Glasgow might just be serving up the city’s best-kept breakfast secret. I popped in for a morning bite and ordered the breakfast meat burrito—and wow, what a decision. Packed with crispy bacon, juicy sausage, fluffy egg, and fresh, zingy pico de gallo, this burrito was a flavour bomb from the first bite. Everything was perfectly balanced—nothing overpowering, just layers of goodness wrapped in a warm tortilla. Honestly, it might just be the best breakfast burrito I’ve had. The vibe was laid-back, the staff friendly, and the food? Next level. What a find.

We found this little restaurant while wandering in Edinburgh and after reading the menu which was posted outside, decided to go in. We almost turned around. It is very small with crowded tables and it was cold inside. But we didn't leave and I am so glad we didn't. The waiter closed the door to keep the cold out and the food was absolutely amazing. As we like to do, we ordered plates of appetizers to share. Absolutely everything was fresh and perfectly prepared. I have never tasted falafel as good. If you are in Edinburgh, you absolutely have to try Eden's kitchen.

Cannot recommend this place enough. Staff were extremely friendly, accommodating and the atmosphere inside was amazing. The food is second to none- do not miss this place!

Everything was good about this visit. A warm welcome on booking and arrival. A couple of excellent real ales and lovely food served quickly. The inn was pretty busy for a Monday in May so booking would be recommended.
