The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Scotland

Booked as a special birthday meal on the basis of previous recommendations on this and other sites. Sadly disappointed. The chef responsible for setting the place up is now working abroad and his stand-in, while competent, doesn’t live up to the billing or the prices. Small menu, with 4 starters and 4 mains. Scallops (3 for £13) were excellent but lost in a small dish on a large otherwise empty plate. My crispy chicken was not noticeably different from a Chinese take away version, again served in an enamel dish for £12 - very poor value. Salmon fillet was faultless but my lamb rump was just barely on the edible side of pink, no jus or gravy and a saucer if mint sauce was brought without comment from the owner who clearly had better things to do behind the counter than worry about customer satisfaction. The affogato desert was one scoop of average vanilla ice cream in a large coffee cup with a shot of espresso unceremoniously tipped over it by the still unsmiling hostess. Yes I could have sent the lamb back, but then the awkward wait and out of synch meal spoils your evening. It was edible, just. And at £33 a portion I wish I’d chosen something else. A bottle of average Montepulciano and 2 glasses of decent Prosecco set us back £140 so when we return to Mull this definitely won’t be on our itinerary. Less a Galleon than an overpriced CalMac ferry, I’m sorry to say.

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!

He estado aquí numerosas veces la mejor comida para llevar sin duda, el personal es siempre más que encantador y la comida es increíble. Siempre cocinado fresco nunca tuvo un problema de comida de primera calidad

Delicious and as good a grilled bbq selection if not better than I have had abroad. Plus amazing dips and bread for starters!

Found this place by chance with a couple hours to kill. Really nice little place. Good food and Sam was friendly. Will definitely visit again

If you can afford to eat here without worrying about it then I take my hat off to you.

We stumbled upon this while walking a little bit besides the main tourist roads. (Still crowdy). The waitress was very knowledgeable to the point where I mistook her for a Mexican native (sorry) The elotes were very nice, the tortillas too. The guacamole wasn't that good but I can imagine it's hard to find good avocado in Scotland in may. The drinks were very good as well as the salsa and the quesadilla which my wife had. They also added grilled vegetables without a question asked. The hot sauce variety was also very good. Can only recommend!

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

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

Ahh a few things with this place. Firstly the food is actually good, they’re not very good at listening to instructions though, asked for no sauce and genuinely think they gave me double what they normally would. Not just once but also the second time ordered and that was sadly the last time for me. Secondly, they pick and choose when they rely on the community. They state they have outside catering and that before Covid they were a catering company bla bla bla but when they aren’t “outside catering” they decide it’s time to open to the community. You’re either a catering company or you’re a takeaway and if you wanna be both… hire more and be both. Don’t pick and choose when you want the communities business and I’m not the only person who picked up on this. Just see their Facebook page. Again apart from that, the food is good, it is fresh, staff can be blunt but most times they’re okay. The clearly can’t accept constructive criticism from they’re replies to negative feedback on trip advisor and they will think this is negative by actually I’ve given them 3/5 because the food is nice and fresh. That’s all.

The restaurant had been recommended to us by other family members and we were not disappointed. Fabulous starters and steaks and the desserts looked amazing although we had no room after being a tad greedy with the weight of the aged steak. Service was friendly and fas.
