The best restaurants serving Brasserie food in Central 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.

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 best place in Dundee !!! 10/10

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

Finally had the best nihari roti in UK since arriving here nearly 6 years ago! Felt like having it in Karachi 🥹 Biryani was proper too! The place is a bit old fashioned so appears run down however if you aren’t bothered about “where” you’re sitting, you’ve found yourself a fantastic place!

Loud, echoey. Huge space fill of people shouting at each other to be heard. No soft furnishings to absorb the noise. Tall ceilings and neon. Loud music on. Can rete floor. A huge bar room with old long wooden tables and benches. Whole width long bar with decent prices. Very busy on a Saturday. There are seats outside. Toilets are upstairs. A bar for pre club I would say. Not comfortable.

Not been for a couple of caravan seasons as we thought it had declined Pleasantly surprised after our visit today, staff were very attentively and pleasant. Food was lovely, fish, burger and nacho’s with a few drinks from the bar Well done all, we will be back

We stay at the premier inn Stirling City center quote often so we tend to have evening meal and breakfast next door in this establishment. For us there has been a rapid decline over the past few months in every aspect from food quality and customer service from waiting staff just seems to be all staff from the chefs to wait staff walking around with sad faces not wanting to do the job or doing bear minimum. Food quality has declined too, food being turned out cold in the middle, meat on the mix grill not cooked through. If I'm paying £60-£70 for 2 of us to eat I have certain expectations. Breakfast poor continental choice nothing left by 9am everything was bare apart from fresh juice. I was told by staff first come first serve. From my point of view this restaurant has closed the doors to general public to attend to hotel clients and they can't manage to get it right so I won't be supporting this establishment anymore when I stay next door in future I'll go across the road where I know what we need will be attended to.

Fancied a burger and Jocks did not disappoint. Food was really tasty and service was very good. Great decor and nice atmosphere. We’ll definitely be back.

excellent quality , best ever!!
