The best restaurants in Scotland

Went here today for a birthday meal What a total and utter disappointment the quality of the food was very poor. I would have rated it no stars but had to give at least one to continue with the review. The meal I ordered was billed as a triple steak burger, OMG it was awful, when it was served to me the burger was bone dry and very small, over cooked and totally tasteless. There was no burger sauce, (what we were offered was a bottle of ketchup and seriously watered down mayo) there was no onion or cheese only a little piece of stale lettuce and one slice of very thin tomato in the very dry bun. It was listed as being served with rustic chips but I actual found they were nothing more than a handful of frozen skinny fries from a bag. I was charged almost £17 for this which is an absolute disgrace. I've had far better any tastier burgers from McDonald's for a third of the price. My partner had what was billed as peppered chicken which was very poor, served in a skillet which was no deeper than a saucer and it was served without rice which was listed on the menu. The manager came over before it was served and gave her a spoon and we were wondering why you would need a spoon to eat the meal! Then It became apparent when it was served, hardly any chicken and a few bits of pepper and onion and was swimming in some kind of peppered sauce, hence the spoon. This was also priced around £16/17, again ridiculously over priced for what was actually offered. We checked out the menu online before booking a table but when we arrived we were given a totally different menu from what was online. Then to top it all we paid cash and after some time we had to ask for our change from the bill (over £5). When the ki Manager came over he then said "folk normally say just to keep the change " we were Shocked and utterly embarrassed by this comment. What an absolute rip off this place is and we certainly won't be back .

Rooms 3/5 - simple - could be cleaner. Staff/service - generally good/nice Food - awful. 2/5. Breakfast was ok. Evening food was really not.

Really good restaurant in Lochinver. It was very busy but our order soon came and the quality was first class . Large portions too especially my scallops. Cranachan for dessert was what it should be with just a touch of whisky. Very friendly staff. A must if you ever in Lochinver.

Our first time at Bach. Pronounced “batch” - New Zealand for home. Interesting choices. I had yummy Turkish eggs and we shared a salad.

Not much else to see in this wet cloudy deserted wilderness, but at least there was a toilet available.

We just arrived in Edinburgh by train, tired and hungry. After climbing a very long set of stone stairs, with a lot of luggage, we arrived at The Southern Cross Cafe. Excellent food at reasonable prices and extraordinarily friendly service made it well worth the climb. Don’t miss the Toffee Sticky Pudding!

Atmosphere was nice, and very courteous service indeed. Food is pricey although unsophisticated. Good quality however. Unfortunately it is unforgivable for a restaurant to get dietary restrictions wrong. The calzone that has been ordered onion free, was FULL of onions. No price reduction or refund had been offered.

Definitely the best Thai I’ve tried in Glasgow!We had the dumplings and summer rolls for starters which were really great and I had the crispy chili tofu for main which was delicious! My parents had the drunken noodles and a duck dish which they both really enjoyed. Be prepared that the dishes described as spicy really are extremely spicy! The staff were so attentive and lovely, and quickly boxed up our food for us when we had to leave as we lost track of time. Drinks were great too and the ambience was really nice. Will definitely be back soon!

I love this wee place, but I’m afraid the standards are slipping and I don’t see them picking up any more awards unless they pull up their socks. We ordered the fish, chips and mushy peas, tea and bread and butter. The tea, bread and butter arrived 10 minutes before our food. When the food arrived we had to ask for cutlery, when the girl came back with our cutlery I asked if they’d forgotten the mushy peas only to be told that they’d run out and did we want beans? (7:30pm on a Saturday and out of peas?) As the food was already on the table we declined. The fish was lovely but the chips were luke warm. So disappointed. We will be back as we know it’s better than this one experience. Watch this space.

Second time staying in a Dakota. The other one was in Glasgow. Always lovely. It's very clean, staff are professional & dressed so sharp. Reservations are a must if wanting dinner here. Always booked & the food is worth it. Great as always staying here. Would recommend & stay here.

Shakshuka was good-feta, a hint of fresh coriander and the aniseed note of fennel seeds, I think. And a wee bit chorizo on the side. Good coffee, friendly service.

I live near Dunkeld and sing in a choir in Dunblane on a Wednesday night. My daughter studies in Glasgow. She had a spare evening so we decided to meet for a quick supper before choir. Randomly she parked outside the Riverside and we went in there. Great find. Lovely bright, timber-led interior. Staff very nice. Anna had a chorizo pizza, I had the sea bream. We’ll be back. Definitely. Maybe even fortnightly until the end of the choir season in the Spring! 😂

Anya was amazing! Such lovely service from start to finish! She noticed when we came in we had elderly grandparents with us so allowed us to choose where was most comfortable to sit for them and she also checked on us during our meal to make sure we were enjoying our food, anya was really patient when we were ordering our food which was very appreciated - such a lovely woman made our experience a lovely one thank you so much again!

Fantastic location and view. Food excellent and reasonable. Have returned every year! Have visited every year for 10 years. Great view of the harbour. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

An absolute pleasure from start to finish. Greeted with lovely friendly welcome by cheerful staff. Ordered the fillet steaks wee birthday treat. Superb melt in the mouth followed by lovely desserts. Water topped up without being asked. Friendly staff asking if everything was ok through out. Could not fault! We will definitely be back thank you to the chef and all the hard working staff x
