The best restaurants in Scotland

I like this place a lot - combined shop, cafe, bar and restaurant in a continental style. Very comfy inside; great outside seating. Cromartie beer on tap!

The team in here are incredible, they go above and beyond for every customer. Will always come back to this Starbucks! Thankyou for being so positive, in a job that is very demanding😊

Had some delicious scottish breakfast here! I recommend!

A relative that had been previously and who had enthused about it, that combined with a recommendation from local B&B owner and previous reviews we were expecting something exceptional, however we left feeling disappointed. We were advised to book yet were the only people in. The restaurant is very small but seemed very clean and bright. Staff were pleasant and attentive. We ordered 2 mains, a bhuna lamb and chicken tikka masala, one portion of mushroom pilau rice, 2 poppadoms and a peshwari naan, one large bottle, one small bottle of Cobra. The meal was served very quickly, almost too quickly. The rice was good but the strange thing about both main courses was although there was plenty of meat, there were no pieces of lamb or chicken bigger than a sugar lump. The sauce with the tikka tasted excessively sweet and the bhuna sauce had very little texture, it was almost pureed. The naan was over sweet and the colour of an orange hi-vis jacket, the mango chutney was an unusual deep red in colour. We dine out at Indian restaurants quite frequently and have never had meals served with such tiny pieces. The bill was just short of £60 which seemed excessive, the two beers alone came to over £12. The speed from ordering to the meals getting presented so quickly suggested maybe the sauces were pre-made rather than cooked to order. Would think twice about returning based on the high price.

No kitchen. Friendly bartender.

Lovely staff, lovely crowd....1st time in the pub...Great wee night

Staff lovely as usual. Visited many times in the past as a family, the menu has changed and definitely not for the better.

Had a wonderful overnight stay. Friendly, welcoming staff. Quirky but very comfortable bedroom. This was the last night of a 9-night tour and I think we saved the best till last. Had the venison for dinner which was out of this world! Breakfast was also excellent. Cosy bar and coffee lounge. Will definitely be back.

Great place for breakfast! Especially if you want a full Scottish! We discovered a new meat (to us) called Lorne Sausage... AKA Square Sausage - a square patty of beef sausage! It is very good!

The Shore has been closed since the 3rd October 2023. It's now open with new owners under a new name Blackmill Bar & Kitchen.

£5 for a double expresso!! Wont be going back

Have had a takeaway before and that was sublime... this time ate in and the food was every bit as good. Delicious and makes me only wish to go back again and again!

As a fan of Tom when it comes to the celebrity chef scene and local entrepreneur we knew we were set for a blast. But hey, there’s always room for a bad day at the office, well, last night was one of these days. Booked for some scran with the fam and as always we smacked few classy bevies couple of doors doon the road at the Blackbird. Stunning wee boozer. Rocked up for dinner and the place was pretty buzzing which is always good to see. Although it grabbed our attention that there wasn’t many members of staff that particular night, but we know how professional they are and expected nothing but a great culinary experience. Fun and games so we start teeing off with the munch; Mallard and haggis the only two things that were up to par. Ragu, cod , cesar salad, pātes and ribs not even close to the to quality you’d be thinking of a top tier gastro pub. Desserts were orite. Great Rioja. Birds at the front of the hoose weren’t coping at all but they put a lot of effort on it. We’ll be back

I arrived on my own with my dog. You have to order inside but dogs aren’t allowed inside. It was quite busy but the waiting staff asked if I was alone and said they’d be happy to come and take my order at the table. They came quickly, took my order and brought it out really promptly. The crab sandwich was lush. I had a choice of white wine, and the Sauvignon Blanc was delicious. They were so chatty and lovely. They were happy for me to pay when I left and I’ll definitely be returning.

This place is exceptional, a real hidden gem. A friendly greeting, fast and efficient service and a nice interior. The food is fantastic, 5* quality. No where in Aberdeen has been this good in a long time. Really looking forward to going back. Thank you to the chef for an excellent meal, and well done to the owner.
