The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Scotland

Although closed for the season, the Galleon Bistro reopened for just the one night of Hogmanay, with a special 6-course menu. The food on offer was good, but not ‘really special’. The main negative was that the portion sizes were simply too large, given that the food was quite rich, so we managed only one bottle of wine. This all meant that we left feeling a bit bloated and not quite sure if we could survive the ceilidh down the street! The meat eaters began with an amuse-bouche of grilled breaded brie, smoked fish pate and pigs in blanket, with a huge slice of chicken-liver parfait as starter, a celeriac soup ‘entremet’, a delicious main course of dry-aged beef with various sides, and a rich chocolate mousse infused with Baileys as dessert. All followed by petit fours of tablet, chocolate fudge and shortbread rounds, with tea and coffee. The Galleon also provided a vegetarian alternative with the same soup, dessert and petit fours, but a different starter, (pasta) main course and amuse-bouche. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting and the price, though steep, was reasonable. However, the invitation to add on extra at one’s discretion for service is really unwarranted for a small, family-run establishment and felt to us antiquated and even a bit embarrassing.

I had heard great things about this place. Unfortunately it did not deliver, staff not very attentive, could not pre order online (tried phoning and messaging to pre order) to no avail. Only got asked if we wanted a drink after 15minutes of being sat down (wasn't busy at this time either) food arrived I had the brisket meal (chips,A&H coleslaw & jalapeño crisies were very nice thank you, but the brisket not so much was very dry I put the bbq sauce and coleslaw on to make it palatable. Would not recommend!

Super friendly staff Aliyah was so lovely and friendly and helpful with the menu choices. Food was delicious and would highly recommend.

Our family had a wonderful time at Smokin Skye BBQ. A terrific end to a full day tour of Isle of Skye, beautiful property, adventurous hikes, delicious food catering to unique dietary needs and warm, delightful hosts. Be mindful of accessibility and open to rugged landscape, but you wont be disappointed and might even encounter some four legged friends. Anita is a wonderful chef and even better hostess!

Where do I start? This used to be Jokers and had a bit of a reputation, since the new owners took over it seems to be a much nicer place to go. We initially just went in for dinner, and ended staying all night as they had a quiz night on (£2 per person) I had the steak pie and chips, and my wife had the fish and chips, the portion sizes were fantastic, the food was amazing, they gave us half price off one of the meals, which meant with a cider and a Guinness came to £24. The staff were really friendly and even though it’s a mile from home we’re looking forward to the next time.

The Alvie Forest Food team served up some of the best Thai food we’ve ever had. A quiet time of year for them maybe - ahead of the Festive rush (?!) - but still a warm welcome. Literally - their yurt with woodburner was a fantastic place to wait for our freshly cooked order. Thanks guys - we will be back!

The best place in Dundee !!! 10/10

Great food with friendly and helpful staff

Dined here but not through choice as we had a voucher given to us. My partner and i both had steaks which were very nice but my partner found two insects in his salad and when we complained the server was a pretty nonchalant and just said och it's just the salad as if it was no big deal. They did deduct our dessert and a glass of beer but despite that wouldn't return. This shouldn't have happened and i hope they're more thorough in future!

Great food and in a superb location all wrapped up with good service

Normally have a very good meal here. Chicken liver parfait, Halibut and side of boiled potatoes. Biscuits and cheese to finish. All tasted fine and well presented. However later that night very bad gastric upset. Alright I should have reported it on checking out but at 0410 I had other things on my mind such as getting to Edinburgh Airport to catch a flight at 0720

Not sure if i caught them on a bad night but the food wasn't great at all, issues with every course. The souffle wasn't a souffle at all and was very dense and shaped like a hockey puck. The duck dish was extremely bland and nothing seasoned or dressed. The crumble dessert was burnt on top and freezing underneath. I feel it may have been grilled rather than ovened. It was my birthday meal and very underwhelming. Staff were all lovely though,

We had the most amazing evening here at Pera. Orkun was so lovely and cooks the most delicious food. I would definitely recommend for couples and friends !!

Wonderful meal in great surroundings. Staff extremely friendly, helpful and professional. Wouldn't hesitate to return.

Came here for dinner and the food was excellent as always and the owners are very friendly and welcoming would definitely recommend to visitors when they stay in Jedburgh
