The best restaurants in Scotland

We sailed to Skipness Bay, anchored and took the dinghy to the beach. The short walk to the cabin took us past the smokehouse where there is a shop. The weather was unseasonably warm so we dined alfresco. The seafood platter for two arrived fairly quickly after ordering and it was fantastic! Langoustines, gravlax, crab, hot smoked salmon, mussels and a side of bread washed down with an Arran beer and a small Sancerre. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, a real gem in the Scottish food crown.

Good food overlooking the marina in croabh haven. The menu had lots to choose from and staff were very helpful. Be careful to check opening times especially out with high season.

Came here as they made my husbands birthday cake in April. Loved the cake so had to try the bakery. Had scone, cupcake and drinks. Everything was freshly made and very tasty. 5 stars. When in Edinburgh again, we would come here again and well recommended.

Great service, great food and value for money.

Siamo stati qui per colazione andando a Dean Village, il locale è molto carino e confortevole, buona scelta sia per una colazione dolce che salata, e soprattutto da italiano devo dire che qui ho bevuto il cappuccino più buono della mia vita: era davvero perfetto! Personale molto gentile, prezzi giusti. Consigliatissimo!

Was there at a retirement party, service was absolutely brilliant main server for us that night was fantastic she went way above normal service, atmosphere was great and the buffet was well presented and very tasty

Great traditional chippy. Lovely staff

Nice barkeep. The duck liver parfait was tasty (not served as a parfait but rather as slab of liver pate, side of jam, oatcakes). Creamy and not gritty. The cullen skink was fine - just a bit salty. The venison casserole actually needed some salt but was huge portions!! The vegetables with it were very nice!

This is definitely our favourite wee country pub, it’s an hours drive for us, but so worth it. Food never disappoints, portions are a bit big for me, but hubby helps out, service is excellent. We visited today as we had been out walking and we’re only 30 minutes away, we were lucky to get a table, as we hadn’t made a reservation. The prawn special was lovely, we shared it as a starter, scampi was very good, big portion though. Curry was really good, served with a popadom, spiced onions & mango chutney. All in all another lovely meal.

Waited 2 and a half hours. No updates beyond 'preparing your order' until it suddenly jumps to Delivered. No sign of a delivery driver, no attempt at a delivery. Be aware. There is aboslutely zero way to directly contact the location.

Great atmosphere, especially for golfers given the memorabilia on the walls. Fantastic service. Only let down slightly as not a great selection of beers ( but does have great whiskey)

Fab little cafe in Newhaven, just off the tram terminus. I visited twice on this trip to Edinburgh but I have also been on previous occasions. On one occasion I had a bacon and haggis roll. And on the second occasion I had a full Scottish breakfast. Both were absolutely delish! The decor is the cafe is very quirky and the staff are all lovely. The only slight downside was that the coffee wasn't that great - but the food made up for it.

Lovely tapas - cheese bruschetta was amazing. Burger plentiful and good ingredients. Good pricing Great friendly and down to earth service.

We did not eat here as it is not dog friendly.

We ate gorgeous food, next to an open fire and were greeted like old friends by staff who made us feel so welcome. Really good value for lovely food in a venue that we could have stayed in all day. Make sure you visit this one.
