The best restaurants in Scotland

Stopped for a piece of cake and a cup of tea. It was a lovely, easy quick stop on our journey and we enjoyed it very much. The almond and cherry cake was delicious.

Really delicious food in nice, lovely atmosphere. This was our first time visiting Zucca and it won’t be our last. Staff were both knowledgeable and pleasant and looked after us very well. Food was freshly prepared and really enjoyable. Will definitely be back.

Excellent hotel for the P&J live arena, very friendly staff, nice food and the rooms are a good size and very comfortable. The rooms are also very quiet.

I appreciated that they have gluten free options with gluten free bread. I took French toast with mascarpone cream and Shetland milk. Everything was good and tasty. One little thing.. I didn't like eating in a cardboard.. however it was a minor issue and I would recommend this place to other people.

It’s a wonderful chip shop, great chips, sunny location and wonderful view. We had scallops . They were sublime, as good as the best restaurant anywhere and yet it’s a chip shop in Shetland. It’s worth travelling a long distance for

Lovely place and food was wonderful. We were staying at the Peebles Hydro from Edinburgh and ended up coming here for dinner two nights in a row. Wonderful and solid food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely be back.

Great service. Food was amazing g. Will definitely be back.

We had a great meal in this excellent restaurant. They serve what they call 'Scottish Tapas', letting you try lots of different dishes with a Scottish slant. There are Meat, Fish and Vegetarian options with lots of side dishes and all of the ones we chose were delicious. And the waiting staff were helpful, efficient and charming. Would go again at the drop of a hat.

Annual visit to use a generous voucher 11th October 24. Huge disappointment with the food. My fish dish dry, tasteless and could not be split readily with knife and fork. . New potatoes black skinned, solid and inedible. My wife's confit duck slippery and straight out of the oil, no attempt made to crisp the skin. My chilled rice pudding just a solid paste. Half my meal sent back on the plates. Did not complain on the night so as not to cause trauma or drama on what was otherwise a visit to one of our favourite local haunts. Emailed the Manager o the Sunday evening, saying something must have been amiss in the kitchen, no credit sought, but if it was my restaurant, I would want to know. Received an apology from the duty manager and advised the chef had been given my email. Front of house, staff and decor all as good as usual, so I also said we would be back, but doubt if we ever will. Shame. ?

A firm favourite with my wee one, she ALWAYS has the Mac n Cheese which I must say is delicious, suuuuuper cheesy! I usually will have the soup which also never disappoints, cheap and cheerful a great place to stop in for a coffee and cake too.

Nice cocktails and good service would definitely go back

Very authentic and sensational Mac'n Cheese.

The very best of what you could expect without bursting any piggy banks. I was amazed at the value and service, perhaps because it snuck up on me after a series of disappointments. Yum, yum on my tum. Recommended.

My wife and I, with our small dog visited during a lunch time break in Bowmore. A great welcome by lovely staff, nice cocktail, followed by one of the nicest pizza and pasta combinations that we have ever had. The staff are particularly welcoming, and were lovely to our little dog. We thoroughly recommend and we will use again when in the area. Thank you. A++++

We have loved this place previously but it’s under new ownership which is telling. Similar menu but dishes don’t have the same flavour as before. Service was extremely disappointing - better places to spend £200 for a couple with much better customer service.
