The best restaurants in Scotland

4 of us went for lunch on a Thursday. Staff were attentive and service was swift. Cosy and friendly place. All the food was freshly prepared and excellent in presentation and taste. Special mention for the pork loin special. It was very tasty and cooked to perfection. The sticky toffee pudding was delicious and light. Reasonably priced and good value. Will be back more often.

I have been here on numerous occasions when visiting this part of Scotland, I have written a review about Loch Arthur before, but do you know what, when a place is good then why not praise it again. As usual the cafe and shop are well organised with plenty of freshly made foods as well as freshly home grown vegetables and fruit, not forgetting the locally handcrafted goods. The whole place is immaculately clean. The cafe serves amazing home cooked food, do try their soups, they are just scrumptious. The staff whether in the cafe or shop are courteous, smiling, friendly and willing to help. Too good to be true, NO, this place is amazing, if I were able, I would move near there to be able to go more often.

Great staff and food. It's not cheap, but get what you pay for.

A fantastic place, absolute shame it's closed now. Best wishes to the team in their new endeavours.

New to us , so meeting with another couple to surprise them by taking out for a celebraterary anniversary lunch. Three course meal was had by all. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Food was amazing and fluent service during our meal. 5 stars to the team for our meal and service. Definantly be back. Visiting from fife and cumbernauld. Thankyou.

The olive sourdough was delicious and the mackerel pate and hummus were the perfect accompaniment. Loved it! With so much choice, we’ll be back soon

What a wonderful place! High quality home made food, delicious coffee and friendly welcoming staff. There is a wee shop selling everyday provisions and lovely gifts. A beautiful building and grounds with a perfect vista of the harbour and sea. Spotless toilets. Would highly recommend and hope the community are extremely proud of their resource.

Cozy place with a warm atmosphere. We had dinner and drank a very good IPA.

Food is always good, service is friendly and helpful and there is always friendly atmosphere.

Mi pareja y yo pedimos algunos platos pequeños de comida y un par de bebidas. Mientras disfrutamos de la lubina y el plato de batata, los tacos, pinchos y costillas no eran especialmente sabrosos. Las costillas (£ 7. 50 ) estaban bastante carbonizados y tenían muy poca carne encima. Los platos eran bastante caros para lo que eran (pequeñas porciones, nada especial). El personal era amable y atento, pero la comida no era lo suficientemente bueno para que volviéramos para futuras visitas.

A decent neighbourhood tratt with nice, freshly-made, authentic food. Lamb polpette, pizza napoli, cannelloni were all very good, pasta arrabiata maybe too fiery for some. The premises are small without feeling cramped, with evening sunshine streaming in. Pleasant service, restaurant and toilets spotless. Three of us had a nice evening with two courses and a bottle of Montepulciano for less than £80.

They had a spare pizza after closing and the owner went into coop to give it to us, Im a regular there and MAN are they such great people :))

Great wee pub with live entertainment mixed age group and a great atmosphere and spotless

The word inspiration equals impunity because the food has nothing Jamaican about it, the prices are astronomical and the portions are ridiculously small (4 slices of banana £4.50) which doesn't even make 1 whole banana ridiculous🙄. The Jerk sauce is yellow (I've never seen one like that). The flavor isn't there which is an insult to Jamaican cuisine. Now I don't know if that's because there are no Jamaicans in the kitchen or if it was adapted to the Scottish palate 🤷🏾‍♀️

Had lunch and cakes here, one of the best places for to go for food during the day on the island. It’s well liked and well known by a lot of visitors. People have been going for 20 years+. Got some history about it and the place has never changed. Highly recommend the specialty meringue cake dish. It’s huge but worth it. Really disappointed about the annoying opening hours. We drove to visit one day on a Saturday and it was closed. Turns out it was SHUT FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, MONDAY EVERY WEEK DURING THE SUMMER PEAK PERIOD!! And we’ve found it it’ll be closed over winter too. We hear it’s to do with staffing issues which is a current issue but it was really disappointing to be closed on such busy peak days. Doesn’t make sense and we drove all that way
