The best restaurants in Scotland

Great location, friendly staff, great selection of drinks.

I have reviewed FoM before and praised it extensively. After a two year hiatus, we returned for lunch. There are a few aspects that seem to have missed the mark. Firstly, the cardinal rule in hospitality is, if people turn up wanting to eat, feed them. Do not turn them away saying "come back in an hour" because your tables are full when at least six of them are unoccupied. It was only as we turned to walk out they suddenly decided they could accommodate us after all. In the time we were there, at least five of those tables were unused at any given time. Who did they expect to turn up? Secondly, and I know this is not just a FoM issue, but letting dogs into a place of food consumption is just the wrong thing to do. I know the law in Scotland says it's OK as long as it is not in food prep areas, but the food in FoM is prepped right beside where people eat. I do not wish to trip over a dog or its lead, watch a dog lick itself when no tongue should really go, or the staff touching them, or consider all the fleas and other inhabitants of a dog's fur that could be headed my way. FoM has an outside eating area - keep the mutts outside and leave the inside clean for humans. Thirdly, the food. I'm not a vegan but something caught my eye about the "vegan fry" so I decided to give it a go. If you're a vegan, look away now. It was truly terrible. The potato scone (which I normally like) was hard, curled up and dry. It took some cutting. The baked beans were barely warm. The "haggis" was grim and I have had veggie haggis before - this was just a slice of compressed nutty and seedy stuff. The mushrooms (well done for having different varieties) were soggy and almost cold. The scrambled egg tofu - very insipid. The sourdough toast was cold. Not sure what the spready stuff was. Probably marge. The tomatoes - tepid and tasteless. The sliced avocado (conspicuously not fried) had no place on the plate so I donated it to my wife. Likewise the limp, cold spinach. The entire dish looked and tasted like it had been prepared hours ago and kept under not very effective heat lamps and then dumped randomly on the plate. On the plus side the arancini were tasty - and hot. As were the rosemary fries. Final grumble - probably not their fault - Scottish tap water. Yuk. Smells and tastes stale. No amount of lemon in the jug could disguise it. They should consider installing a filter system. I will give FoM the benefit of the doubt for this one-time slip as every other time it has been very good. But if this is vegan food - pass me the steak.

I came in Tuesday night to a packed wine bar. Josh and Pierre handled everything very well and took very good care of us. would definitely come back.

Amazing food which we had as a takeaway. I was really impressed with quality (and reasonable cost). The venue itself was also of a high standard if you are dining in and i wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place to anyone!!

Staff here are so helpful and friendly. Went out of their way to accommodate us. I called several times about dietary issues. Each time they would recommend something and said that if that didn’t suit person they would make them something else that wasn’t on the menu. Can not recommend Adesso highly enough. Will definitely be back here 100%

Visited just by chance as we were in the neighbourhood. The staff were excellent, rarely do you get such personal, honest service these days. The food was lovely too and at a reasonable price, I would go back.

Good vegan options, lovely staff. Food was lovely!

Lovely stop for a mid afternoon coffee and cake!

Outstanding food, attentive but not intrusive service, from a friendly and cheerful waiter. Reasonable prices. Awkward to find with the sat nav in the dark, peeing it down with rain

Worst takeaway meal yet, missing dishes that apparently were checked? And food was cold. Very disappointed as this was our favourite Indian..maybe had their day?

Lovely decor and really good food. Just a bit out of the way but only half an hour away.

Decided to cheat dinner (again!) We like the Hunters Stables as we have been before with the whole family. Proper Italian food made as it should be and presented in a professional manner. The staff were friendly and professional, making sure we had everything we needed.

Had lunch there bacon bene was lovely nice staff

Super rocks every weekend with live band.

We had a great cooked breakfast here. The food was well cooked and tasty, we would definitely eat here again if we were in the area.
