The best restaurants in Scotland

My husband and I are planning to move to the area and decided to take a drive there yesterday with our wee jack russell and have a walk about.... what a lovely experience it was - the sun was out and everyone we came across was so lovely and friendly. We noticed the Quaich is dog friendly (like a lot of establishments in the area as it appears.... big bonus for us!). Upon entering, we were greeted by a lovely, friendly lady (who made a big fuss over our pup and brought him a bowl of water right away). We just stayed for a drink but I must say, the food smelt delicious - will definitely stay for food next time. Lovely people and great vibe overall. Can see us being regulars when we move here!

Lovely bright, inviting cafe, with friendly staff. I’m gluten and dairy free, and they catered for this no problem. Definitely worth a visit. I will come back here.

Food was excellent staff couldn’t be any more helpful 10/10 definitely be back.

David and the team from Pro shop to restaurant, Had lunch. Round of golf then evening meal. Service and food excellent, could have had a nicer more relaxed afternoon, Thank you to everyone concerned. Always had great service but consistently this always been good. ❤️

Ordered dinner at the cafe garden, one glass of wine, one bottle of beer, and 2 lasagna dinners. We waited over half an hour and eventually had to go and ask as to where our order was, guess what they forgot!.... It then appeared with one utensil, a fork! I had to ask for knives and napkins. The mince of of dubious quality. We were told the salad was coming, so just started a little of the lasagna as we were hungry, to find it luke warm 😡 the portion size was very meager and when the salad arrived, we were both both presented with a plate of lettuce leaves, just theown on a plate with what seemed like a splash of vinegar! We paid £48 for what could only be described as a bad '70s school dinner! Very disappointed given the beautiful, tranquil location. We expected vastly better quality and portion size for our money. We felt like we were robbeda We would most certainly not recommend this place for food.

Was checking the menu and the door was slammed in our faces and close sign put up at 3pm so we got the message and left so I take they were closing early good way of welcoming visitors to arran

Stopped in for to go coffee and a a roll, but the sweets hooked us. Coffees and the roll were great, however the triple chocolate cookie may have been the best cookie I’ve ever had in my life.

A stunning hotel and restaurant, beautifully decorated and in a beautiful location. On the way in we saw two stags in the surrounding grounds, looking majestic. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful, the whole place had such a community feel as they knew a lot of the diners, it really does seem to be the place to go for a meal. We are in the bar area as we had our dog, the staff, the food was beautiful, fresh fish and chips were the best I've eaten, and a steak which looked amazing and cooked to perfection. Then the desserts, creme brulee and a sticky toffee pudding - again perfect. We can't wait to be back on Uist to visit again.

Piatti di ottima qualità.. personale super cordiale e posto molto facile da raggiungere prezzi nella media. Consigliato!

I visited Thomas Tosh last week while passing through Thornhill. Delighted to see that my favourite lemon and raisin cake is back on the menu, and that as always, the coffee, service and general atmosphere is good as ever! Thanks again to the staff, will be back next time I’m in the area

Insanely good burger! Fries were perfection, salty and crispy.

The best curries about. Good value. Excellent service. I recommend the Tandoori platter

Amazing food, amazing team, amazing standards, amazing view. Pretty AMAZING overall. We were staying in Laggan Snugs and enjoyed breakfast on both mornings, both days delivered. We will definitely return, such a lovely time.

The presentation was stunning, with flawless pastries. Sadly, the croissant was already a bit dry, and while the macarons looked perfect, they were rock hard, with the filling gone bad. We ended up tossing them, which was an expensive waste.

This venue has sadly burnt down. However we stayed at the Braemar Lodge Cabins and they were absolutely 5 star
