The best restaurants in Scotland

Found this place after a morning of fishing and so glad we did! Great takeaway set up, super friendly service, cakes clearly made with passion, they were to die for! We couldn’t decide which to buy so bought all 4! Was going to save two for later, but they were too good to keep, so ate all 4 with a lush cuppa overlooking the sea - mmmmm delicious! Thank you for sharing a little slice of happiness with us!

Excellent food and a good choice all served in lovely surroundings by great staff. Good choice of soups and sandwiches and meals

Skydiver coffee is a hidden gem, the coffee is delicious and home brewed on the Hebrides, the cake and coffee are also fantastic - Skydancer coffee is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

Unexpectedly good strong coffee at the Ardmhor ferry terminal on Barra. The sausage and Stornoway black pudding rolls were stuffed full and encased in the lightest flakiest pastry. In addition there was a good selection of cakes. There is an outdoor deck overlooking the Sound of Barra. A hidden gem and definitely worth arriving early for your ferry to Eriskay.

what a great space we love this place is great food without pretentions best karagee chicken for us we will be back many times

Love this place. Astoundingly good patisserie, great coffee, warm and friendly staff. I usually just pick up cakes to take away, but I had lunch here today - the freshly made lamb shawarma wrap with hummus was delicious with well balanced flavours

This is a quirky little tearoom which is great for a light lunch or to enjoy coffee and cake. The food is always fresh and delicious, the home baking is superb, and the service is always friendly. The mismatched china everything is served on is cute. And on a sunny day, the outside decked area is a lovely spot to have lunch and an absolute suntrap.

What a gem of a place. Fantastic cheery welcome with great service. Lovely atmosphere and delicious food. If you're going to Westray you've got to visit.

Langoustines with chips and salad. Absolutely delicious, each part, best dinner I've had in a long time. The staff are lovely and genuinely friendly.

Food is well presented and cooked to order. outdoor seating & tables with undercover areas when weather is inclement. A great takeaway experience from a street vendor style operation that uses local produce.

Bittersweet is glorious. Absolutely exquisite cocktails, delicious small plates of Italian food and detailed and attentive service. The venue is beautiful and the staff were passionate and expressive in their shared mission to ensure we had a wonderful time and experienced a sensory explosion of flavour in everything we drank and ate. Visiting from London I was pleasantly shocked that the bill was so reasonable for such a feast in flavour. I honestly can’t think of a meal I’ve enjoyed more and am already looking forward to returning when back in Edinburgh for the festival. Leith has a new jewel in its culinary crown and it’s Bittersweet.

The best cup of cappuccino I have in a long, long time, very friendly staff pleasant surroundings. I ha a home made apple turn over, very good , but could have had a bit more apple.

The Best breakfast in Edimburgh. A generous breakfast. Enjoy it with friends o family. Recommend 100%. . . . . . . . . . 🫶🫶
