The best restaurants in Scotland

Just to let you know I'm a chef but the food is very good 👍

We haven’t been to the Palace for a meal for nearly a year and decided to go this evening. We had the front room to ourselves. The lady that served us was really nice and helpful. Food was lovely. All of us thoroughly enjoyed it and was worth every penny. Fully COVID compliant!

One of the friendliest cafes I've ever visited. Very warm welcome and great service - we only popped in for a quick coffee and left with some free takeaway baked potatoes!! Looking forward to my next visit.

Best service. Nice food and flavour. Rajesh served us, he was really helpful and friendly. Great service. Compared to Glasgow and Edinburgh, this is one better.

Very disappointed. We took the trouble of writing privately to avoid a public review but did not get the courtesy of a reply. Totally inflexible menu choice: we must all be pre-theatre or all a la carte. One person’s needs could only be met with an a la carte dish – so the three of us eating the pre-theatre menu were charged an extra £70 to make us all a la carte. Also, the main courses arrived while we were still at our starters. We said we were not ready and were firmly told it comes ready or not. We protested and were told, ‘If I take it back it will just sit there getting cold anyway’. I don’t think we have encountered that before in a quality restaurant.

Went for breakfast & the place was pretty quiet. Disappointed with portion size. Ordered 2 x breakfast & 2 x cup of teas which came to £25.75. Gave feedback to member of staff & they were not interested. Won’t be back.

Cookie dough is amazing! Delivered before it was due & was perfect. Thanks :)

On holiday in Dumfries and Galloway and visiting Kirkcudbright for the day we attempted to have lunch here. However, upon entering a rather rude lady said we couldn't have a table as they already had two parties of six in and only one chef in the kitchen. Seems from the reviews that others have had similar experiences.

Lovely coffee and veggie sandwich with really nice staff. such a lovely little comfy place to chill yourself or with friends

We arrived early afternoon, grandkids in tow. My friend talked to the person at the visitor centre and was put off visiting the roundhouse due to our grandkids being with us (6 & 11). This was certainly the impression she got. We decided to explore the church ruins and the graveyard instead, from which you can see the roof of the elusive roundhouse. Very interesting graveyard with some very old graves.

Well I guess I went in there to get a coffee and a sandwich and then went back for lunch it was average I was in the cafe 1st time on my own and then I went with a friend

We went to the café twice as on arrival we were ready for a cuppa and enjoyed lovely brownie, blondie and coconut slice. At lunch we enjoyed Lorne sausage sandwiches and salmon panini. The coffee and tea were very good quality too and the prices were very reasonable..

Used to be really good, now it has a new owner and no drinks license. Didn't eat there because of this. Went to another restaurant instead

We recently used The Cottage's catering service for a house party for my wife's birthday. The large trays of food cover 10-12 people. We had chicken curry, chilli, mac n' cheese, and cajun chicken pasta - and rice and chips. The food arrived hot and at the agreed time. Every single one of the dishes was excellent - everyone loved it and went back for seconds. Everyone also commented on how good it was - and i know they weren't just being polite - they genuinely did enjoy the food and wanted to know where we got it from. We managed the order and payment over the phone and the service was friendly and efficient. When i broke the overall price down to headcount and per portion it was also quite reasonable. I would highly recommend The Cottage and their catering service. Loved it. Thanks team.
