The best restaurants in Scotland

The place is tidy, the menu is varied and delicious, and the service is excellent. It is worth a visit

This is one of the best places to eat in Fife! Everything was perfection! Very reasonably priced for the food and the experience! Staff were extremely kind and hospitable! I have an allergy also, which staff were incredibly mindful too! Thank you! Go to Koku Shi ♥️

Friendly staff who were very helpful and accommodating. Lovely food and a great place to spend an afternoon/evening with a pleasing window view of the ocean.

Food options ok Bonus choice free fries to 2 specific burgers Ordered cheese burger with fries and a IPA beer from Black Isle brewery The burger was a bit to soaky

Absolutely perfect. The haddock was the best I've ever had and I'm getting on! It was beautifully cooked, lovely light batter, tasty and flaky, served with horseradish peas salad and lemon. The peas tasted like they'd just come out the pod literally. It was absolutely smashing. Friendly service too. If it wasn't 500miles away I'd go every day!

Lovely location right on the foreshore. Easy access by bus and car (there is ample parking, with dedicated disabled badge holders space). The coffee is very good and the cake portions are enormous! I ate half and took half home. (They can provide a take away box, but I just used a napkin as the boxes were polystyrene - maybe cardboard would be better? )

Popped into The Bothy for morning coffee and a scone with a friend. Alas no scones - plenty of sweet cakes which we did not really fancy in the morning. So I asked if we could please have toast but the waitress didn't think so. I asked if she would mind asking in the kitchen which she did and she came back and said no sorry you can't have toast.I should have known because we had heard the gentleman next to us ask if he could have a roll with bacon and Lorne sausage together. The waitress said they did not like to deviate from the menu. On the menu there was a bacon roll and there was a Lorne sausage roll but they could not put that into one roll . Surely you try to please your customers if you want them to come back. I know my friend and I will not be rushing back.

We went to the Shieling twice when we were staying in Poolewe. Firstly just for a snack and drink after a walk however ended up having soup and a sandwich which was very generous in portion size “he doesn’t do small “ the waitress said laughing. I had mushroom soup which was delicious and my partner had the Cullen Skink which she declared the best ever! As it was so good we booked to return with our friends for lunch on the Friday, we all had fish and chips or scampi all of which were really fresh and tasty. The staff are really helpful and friendly and service was great. I would definitely recommend the Shieling if you are in the area but booking ahead especially in high season and weekends are a must.

Recommended by our land lady, we stopped by for breakfast/brunch on Monday. Simply fabulous. Only had time for a quick stop. Was great to see the bees and artwork. If I were a local I would consider myself in luck to have such a great place to go to all the time. Very rare to find such a gem. We were staying 40 miles away and made a detour for our breakfast, says something. The servers were simply brilliant, and the veggie breakfast the best.

Nuestra primera visita y nos encantó. Buena bienvenida del personal de la puerta, útil para nuestro huésped en silla de ruedas. ¡La música en vivo fue brillante! Buenas bebidas, buen ambiente y conocimos a algunas personas encantadoras también.

Late-evening impromptu dining. Good food and atmosphere. The Mapo Pork Loaded fries were notable! Recommend! Ok cocktails. Fairly priced, good portions. I’d return.

We stayed over at the hotel on a Sunday and had dinner within the restaurant. The hotel staff were fantastic (Blake deserves special recognition - thank you!), and our room was well equipped, clean and comfortable. The hotel is located centrally so it’s easy for access to local amenities. The food in the restaurant was excellent and great value. The place was buzzing so we were so lucky to have booked in advance. The locals clearly enjoy the restaurant and made for a wonderful atmosphere. I highly recommend this place to anyone for meals, drinks and stays.

We went for dinner with high expectations, but things fell short for us. The cuisine was not particularly to our liking, so our food choices were few. Cocktails were well prepared. Our final bill was outrageous for what was served in my opinion. I would not return.

The food was flawless, the atmosphere perfect and the service from Jenny was warm, friendly and wonderful.

Lovely Italian restaurant. Food was fresh and well presented. Good value. All the staff were kind and helpful. The owner was very chatty and answered all our questions regarding the cycle racing memorabilia.
