The best restaurants in Scotland

We stayed here for 3 days on a golfing trip.Fantastic! Staff were amazing, food was lovely, would definitely stay here again! What a lovely little town. We ate dinner in the tavern, was very nice. We also tried the local curry house as recommended by Lorraine behind the bar, fantastic. The third night we tried the local bistro, nice but I preferred the curry house. Opinions though. I would highly recommend this tavern.👍 We were down to play The Glen one of the days but it was closed as it was too wet. Lorraine behind the bar arranged for us to play Archerfield instead. Wow! Really nice. Thanks Lorraine, very nice of you to sort us out.

I had two wonderful experiences with Waypoint Restaurant in one week! The first was a surprise dinner I threw for my husband the week leading up to our wedding. I worked with Gill for months planning the details from the dinner itself to the water taxis to take our friends and family from Oban to the island. Let me just say, she was an absolute delight to work with. Finally meeting her in person on the day was just the icing on the cake. Everyone raved about the dinner and Gill! She and her team just made us feel right at home. The second was a lunch after an excursion on the island for our wedding guests. It was just the perfect way to relax after a day outdoors. Once again, Waypoint outdid themselves. My husband and I plan to return to Scotland and Oban one day and a visit to Waypoint will be high on our list.

This is a beautiful restaurant in the heart of Tenby. There are lots of vegan options and the portions are big (win!). The ingredients are fresh and cooked to perfection with amazing flavours and the chef is flexible with adapting to personal taste. I can't wait to visit again.

Nice wee pub with pool area and TV. Nice bar staff who always smile. Enjoyed it there

Highly recommend this lovely small cafe in the heart of the Merchant City. Very busy but light and airy. Staff are very friendly and helpful and the cafe is spotlessly clean. All the ingredients are fresh, high quality and reasonably priced. The Menu offers a good choice of items and some more refreshingly different combinations. The smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwich was delicious on the lightest brown bread, with a very pretty side salad. The staff made an off Menu cheese and tomato sandwich for my friend and she thoroughly enjoyed it. We had no room for cakes but they looked delicious. Drinks choice is good and value for money throughout,

The welcome was very very very uncomfortable. The guy at the reception desk made us feel unwelcoming. He gave us a death stare as if we asked him for his life while asking if could grab some coffee and leave. The staff who served us, were very friendly, but then another staff just spoke so rudely. Would not recommend for anything. The view is good, but down the road there’s another beach for the view. So would never recommend this place.

Was as good as promised! Very clean, cheery, and comfortable interior to have breakfast in, lots of great food, pastries and coffees, perfect 👍

Haven't been for a while but will definitely be back, nice place to visit

This used to be a great wee place. It's sadly gone downhill. Told we had to wait, which was no issue, but when we got to our table, we had to another 10mins, only to be told they were only taking drinks orders. Ordered a coffee and a soft drink, and it arrived and was drunk before the food order was taken 15mins later!! It's tasty food, but the portions are small, and it's expensive for what you get. My hubby stood at the till for 10mins waiting to pay. Staff were coming and going, and not one apologised for the delay. It used to have a lovely atmosphere with the staff being chatty and helpful. All that is gone, and we are sad to say that we won't return in a hurry. Such a shame.

A wonderful ice cream parlour with great coffee and home baking. The ice cream flavours available are amazing. The home made cakes cater for allergy intolerances. Worth trying out some of the tropical and asian flavours.

I had walked past Cairngorm Coffee a few times before, and today decided to stop in and buy a coffee. After paying for my coffee I looked up to thank my server, and caught her mid-eye roll at me. I have no idea what I did to deserve that. When I was waiting for my coffee I noticed several flies in the food preparation area, and had I noticed earlier I would have walked out without buying anything. The coffee was okay, but there are several cafes in Edinburgh producing far better coffee for 25% less and with well-mannered staff.

This cafe is now under new ownership and is called THE KNOWES. It is open from 9:30 until 4 (3 on a Sunday). It has been under new ownership since February this year and has had a lick of paint and a fresh menu - albeit broadly similar to the old one. Having visited the cafe several times on visits to Kelso over the last few years, it remains my favourite venue to get a hot drink and a simple meal. The premises are kept very clean and presentable.

Sunday Lunch here was ok.Nothing fantastic. We also bought two of the frozen meals available on site.Again , they were ok , but nothing special .

We went here for a light lunch followed by ice cream. So many flavours of ice cream , you can’t fail to find one that you will like . You can also order 6 scoop taster which is definitely a good idea if you want to sample a few different flavours, the amount served os more than enough . The lunch menu is also good if you are after a sandwich or soup etc. Prices were also very reasonable . Plenty Parking at the farm too . Staff were friendly.

Lovely, small cafe in the centre of Melrose. The savoury scone was good and the chutney really made it special. Great staff
