The best restaurants in Scotland

Very disappointed today. All coffee shops closed at 5pm or earlier today and I found this little nice Artisan Cheesecake to get a coffee. Came at 5pm, you have open till 6pm but your staff disappointed me as being told 1 hr before close time that she cleaned the coffee machine and cannot make me a coffee while coffee was on offer on board! I wanted to buy the bagels too but really left the shop. Won't be back again!

We know the Tongue area very well, and like to eat locally, so it was obvious we would decide to eat at the Craggan, and i'm happy we did! The restaurant area is welcoming and clean, staff friendly, and the car park was easy even with a big van. The only problem was choosing from the menu! So many tasty things - i wish we had more time to visit again.. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we shared everything so i know it was all delicious. Thank you for making a rather wet evening so special..

Superb. 4 guys on a golfing trip and this was a great find. Nice vibe inside the restaurant and casual decor. Service was excellent - beers and wine ordered, and I'm not joking, at our table within 30 seconds. Food delivered promptly and it was authentic Thai full of flavour. Would happily return.

Went via a voucher which was bought for wife's birthday, Decor could be improved but food and service good. Starters limited choice due to deal but both items good mac n cheese and chilli and bacon bombers, wife pickers bombers but bombed them out too spicy so we swapped. Main course was meant to have mushrooms but none there, wife spoke Alex (waiter great service) and was rectified quickly. Only thing my wife was not happy with was garlic sauce extra £2.00 not a lot there see picture, small pot. Would I go back. YES.

Unfortunately, I experienced food poisoning after consuming their chicken pepper dish. While the dish was flavorful, the negative consequences were not worth the momentary pleasure.

Good food and service. The menu is a fairly standard one but with a good range (though perhaps more for vegetarians could be offered). Worth a visit.

We thought the food was excellent and shared 3 of the main courses between us. We all especially liked the king prawn dish. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was not as good as the food. A smile and some banter would help!

This place used to be good, but it's not customer friendly any more. Breakfast HAS to include black pudding - no substitutions, even though most people don't like the stuff. Perhaps they over ordered. Anyway, it means you either get a rather small breakfast for £9.55 or you get a normal sized one and throw 20% away. A minor point, perhaps, but shows a particular attitude to customers in general.

I was very disappointed to find that there is no longer a specific, set price, Sunday Menu. Perhaps that is the reason that the restaurant was so quiet. Definitely my worst & yet most expensive Sunday at the ‘Caber’ ☹️

we came here quite hungry for lunch and we really enjoyed it. we got the veggie breakfast as well as the soup combo and everything was very tasty and was very fresh. definitely recommended.

Brilliant cosy tearoom. Good selection of homemade cakes. Freshly prepared snacks. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

What a disappointment. I found the Bothy at Boglily on TA, loved the look of the place, the gorgeous photos of cooked food on their site and the good reviews. We are doing a road trip and this was going to be our Sunday morning treat. The car park was jammed with cars and we saw people standing in a queue to pet baby goats. Upon entering the inviting Bothy and asking a young man for a table, we were told that we couldn’t bring our dog in. Fair enough. Not every dining establishment is dog-friendly. Though I was a bit surprised as the restaurant is in a buffalo farm, there’s a petting zoo and it’s in the countryside. The sun was shining so I asked if we could order our meal and sit at the table on the deck, directly next to the door of The Bothy (see photo for proximity). The young man’s response was that they don’t offer takeaway. I queried whether a table one step from the door qualified as takeaway. It reminded me of the TV ad with the man trying to buy potatoes at a farm shop and being told that he can only pay with digital currency. People taking themselves so seriously that they don’t think of the customer experience. We had driven up from our holiday cottage at Kinghorn especially to get a nice cooked breakfast from their lovely menu, so my surprise and disappointment were apparent. I was directed to the outdoor kiosk they call the Milk Bar to order something from their limited selection. We ordered one Double Cheese Toastie with fries, a latte, an affogato milkshake ( made with buffalo milk ice cream) and a scone, which was on their menu. The two lovely servers told me that they don’t sell scones outside and I would have to go to the Bothy Café to get one. When I explained that I had been told up there that I couldn’t get anything from them takeaway, the young woman offered to go get one for me. They were both very sweet and I apologised for my previous grumpiness. Unfortunately, it wasn’t worth the trouble. The cheese toastie and fries were served in a cardboard tray. The toastie was on “cheap white bread” according to my partner. I didn’t taste it. The fries and the milkshake however, were excellent. My scone was dry, cold and crumbled into breadcrumb texture when I tried to spread some butter on it. The crumb was impossible to pick up and eat but my dog liked it. It wasn’t worth eating for me as it then began to rain and we had to head for the car. I can’t help but think that the very cheerful, welcoming and upmarket website promises more than it delivers.

Vicino alla stazione di Haymarket. Bisogna prenotare. Locale piccolo, frequentato da pochi turisti e da molti cinesi. Servizio rapido e cortese. Tavoli con piastra riscaldata al centro. Abbiamo preso carne, pesce e vedure, da immergere in una pignatta a 2 scomparti (altri tavoli avevano pignatte da 3). Nel nostro caso i brodi (molto caldi), erano uno piccante (moltissimo per me) e l'altro no. Dopo 4/5 minuti, mangiato il contenuto dei brodi siffatti, ripassandolo in una ciotola di salsa con ingredienti da combinare a piacimento. Alla fine immerso nei brodi i noodles secchi, mangiati a sazietà. A parte il piccante, mi è piaciuto molto, ci ritornerei. L'unico inconveniente è stato il pagamento in cash.

For a start, I don’t understand why a commercial building built in the late 90’s doesn’t have a lift given my guess of the average age of their clientele. We went for tea and a scone with my mum who is recovering from getting a new knee. We were told that we could have a table in the foyer cos the restaurant wasn’t accessible. They then changed their mind and told us that we couldn’t order a tea and a scone because there was already 6 people in their restaurant and it would be at least 30 minutes before they could put in a new order. There were 4 people in the empty shop, two in the foyer and presumably numerous staff in the cafe. Between them they couldn’t get us a tea and a scone. We won’t be back.

Afternoon tea Cannot fault the quality of the food or the wonderful room, BUT the experience was spoilt for us when charged over £3 for fresh tea. Tea is served in pots that go cold very quickly, and to be charged for more is just miserly. Other establishments cheerfully keep fresh tea coming. I know which I'd go back to...... Also, beware the service charge which is not mentioned on the menu, another negative.
