The best restaurants in Scotland

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently needed last-minute catering for a group of 20, and Butternut went above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish felt crafted with care, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was so accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend Butternut for any catering needs or just a cozy spot to grab a bite. Thank you 🙏

When visiting St. Monans came across this place, fully booked. I was in luck there was a small outside table available. It overlooked the harbour and the weather was amazing so really happy. Ordered the hot smoked salmon with chips and salad. The quality of the salmon was amazing, the salad, 2 variaties, was crisp and very fresh and the chips were delicious. The home made sauce with herbs made it the best fishmeal I have ever had in Scotland. Staff was very efficiënt, friendly and in for a natter.

I love this place. The coffee and cakes were perfect and so reasonably priced. The staff were friendly and I can't wait to return. Don't expect 5 star luxury just plain and simple.

Best food around great Menu and particularly fabulous Sunday sirloin of beef yum yum

It was a lovely place to eat and chat. Great staff and service all around.

Were staying across road and after all the amazing reviews had to go. Did the big seafood platter and paid the high price as trying local Scottish seafood was on our bucket list. I would have said no but hubby was keen. Now it was lovely but I would not rave about it as much as others have. It was extremely expensive but unsure of local prices so it may have been normal. Two of us could not eat it all so was able to take left overs with us. Setting was lovely. Nothing flash but a great view. Staff lovely and wine great. If you can get fresh local seafood somewhere else on your trip for less expense, give it a go.

Always a lovely night. Food is always delicious and if you want a dish hotter they will add more spice. Staff polite and helpful. No rush to vacate your table.

Really disappointing. I thought the reviews and the food would live up to the hype but I'm honestly confused. Everything was very greasy. We had the chicken pakora which was greasy and didn't taste of much. However, the quality of the chicken was good. The nann wasn't nice, bland and very doughy. The two curries both were chicken but had two different types of chicken? Curries were okay at best Would not return. We both rated it a 4/10. Very disappointing :(

Amazing food and amazing staff. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

What can I say, what a find. from the outside the place looked a bit dated, did not think the food would have been up to much but how wrong was I. The food was absolutely gorgeous, the staff was caring and very professional. cannot praise high enough , the restaurant had a log fire , it was cosy and warm and a great wee pub, wish we were staying longer 11 out of 10 from us Gorgeous, great and glad

Just out of here. Food exquisite, lad (didn’t catch his name) behind the counter provided excellent service, and made me feel warm and welcome. Will definitely recommend for food quality and service in the future

Quiet place and an adequate menu.

Food is good for the price. However I have tried better tasting mexican, slight lack of flavor but definitely worth a try

Delightful Friday lunch on a dim cloudy day. Efficient and friendly welcome and invited to have lunch by the wood stove in the bar as we were the only people booked into the restaurant. Good recommendation. Very cosy and absolutely excellent food with prompt unobtrusive service. Two courses for two £80 including tip. Wonderful venison and delicious puddings followed by coffee. Well worth a trip into the very scenic countryside.

We didn't stay but went for lunch one Sunday. We booked but several groups turned up without booking and were able to get a table. The menu is the usual pub grub but nicely presented and service was quick. Ae chose the roast beef, meatball and curry with icecream and coffee to follow. All very tasty The welcome and service were frienly and efficient and the dining room light airy and spacious.
