The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

The place was empty when we arrived, so we managed to get our food ordered in good time. We all had scampi and chips, which was enjoyable. There was a very nice and relaxed atmosphere about the place till a bus load of noisy pensioners arrived and the staff went into overdrive. All-in-all a great place to stop and have a break, without breaking the bank.

Disappointed with the cappuccino which was weak milky coffee which I did not finish. Lovely lady who served and made my cappuccino but she was no barista. Been here many times before but this is definitely my last cappuccino.

We’ve been a few times before and all was well but the most recent visit was a bit disappointing. Terrine starter was ok but lacked seasoning (I know it’s difficult to get seasoning just right in terrines) but was also very dry so more sauce accompaniment would have been good. The twice baked cheese soufflé was more overcooked and there wasn’t any hint of cheese. The texture was dense and it had a pinkish colour that looked more like salmon. The leek fondue was overly runny. Where the terrine lacked seasoning, the White fish and prawn gratin was way too salty to the point I wondered if any smoked fish had snuck in! And the duck dish was tasty enough but so tough it was almost inedible. On a positive note, other dishes were good and those who had desserts enthused about them. The staff were super helpful and pleasant as always. I think perhaps just an off day in the kitchen.

Been here many many times over tge years and always found reasonable value for money. Unfortunately the service is beyond poor and the food falls into the same catagory. On our previous visit, we waited nearly 30 mins for the plates to be cleared & nothing was forthcoming. My Son wanted dessert but i couldn't wait any longer, there was only two other tables in. At that point, I got up to settle the bill, staff crowded around a table chatting with no awareness of customers. People at the Bar were talking amongst themselves saying there was no service. On looking at the menu, you would think you are in a high end establishment, £35 for Fillet Steak and £3.95 for a sauce?? I was recently in a restaurant which is on the Michelin Guide in Queensferry and they were serving Dry Aged Steak for £34, with a sauce included. The food i received came with what looked like factory prepped Carrots and overcooked Peas. I'm sorry, but if you can't prepare your own Veg and can't cook Frozen Peas then you have no right charging the type of money they are asking for in here. Soggy Garlic bread is another example.of the quality of food on offer. Looking at other reviews, the response from the owner suggests that he has possibly got a high opinion of his establishment. That mentality was maybe justified in years gone by but you can't live on past glories. It is has been quiet on my last 2 visits and going by other reviews, the reasons why should be given some merit. It is sad to see the decline.

Booked on line (2 plus dog) for an evening meal only to be told on arrival that we would need to eat in the bar; no issue with that, it’s very common generally. Unfortunately it turned out that the extensive restaurant menu “is not available” in the bar and the choice was from a very limited and unimaginative separate bar menu. Can someone explain to me why, if the food comes from the same kitchen, it isn’t possible to serve both options in the bar? Voted with our feet and went to Am Politician on Eriskay, excellent meal and no inane segregation.

Drinks one visit, delicious meal the next. Besides the great food and service on our visits, I lost my glasses there and didn't realise until I got home. Not only did the Ormidale staff find my glasses, they also took the time to phone and let me know and post them to me. Above and beyond. We would highly recommend The Ormidale for its service, atmosphere, food and after care of careless customers! Thank you.

We make a special visit from Edinburgh to this Restaurant 5/6 times per year, the food is very good although expensive. I ordered and paid for Fish & Chips and Greek Salad with Keish ? for my Wife, with our drinks.£32.00 The young Man came to our Table to advise there was no Keish ? left. My Wife re-selected Greek Salad with Prawns & a portion of chips I was asked to go to the Counter with the Young Man to adjust the order and was asked to pay 95p difference between the cost of the Prawns against the cost of the Keish ? which I did The food was delivered to our table my Fish & Chips arriving first, my Wife advised that I start my meal while it was hot. My Wife's meal arrived and She was enjoying the Greek Salad but there was no Prawns. I was asked to go to the counter to pay for Prawns which had been omitted, I refused and my Wife had some of the salad, the meal was spoiled for her. No Prawns were offered. This spoiled our visit & our day out! She Managed to spend a further £35. in their shop. No more visits to this venue, complaint very badly handled.

Beautiful lunch. My favourite place to go for coffee and lunch. Staff and food amazing!!! I love sitting on the sofa in front of the log burner .A big thank you to Rory and all the staff

Hadn’t been here before but got a lovely welcome and the food was truly delicious. Prompt service and really well presented. Would certainly recommend.

Dinner was OK, large portions and various choices available, the pricing of the food was reasonable, I also booked a room, the room was small, but it was only for 1 night. The breakfast was very good. The bar staff the girl who took our food order were nice, as was the staff for the breakfast. I do think that the price of the room is far too high, and because of this I can only rate this place as average.

I visited The Lauder in Sauchihsll Street in October 2919 when it reopened after the fire that destroyed the buildings next to it we were served beautifully cooked and very tasty food. I have visited Glasgow twice since then last week ( end of February 20w9) being the most recent and it is now my choice of place to eat. The staff are great easpecially one young lady called Lynn who has been the ultimate in custoner service. Even remembering me from previous visits and ensuring that I get a table and great service. I will be back as not only is the foid well cooked and presebted it is great value for money .

Went for lunch today, found the service appalling. Waited over 5 minutes to be acknowledged and seated at a table. Initially ordered drinks and then our meals. Waited over 25 minutes and never received our drinks or starters. Spoke with staff who apologised for the delay and said they would get our drinks, which again we never received. Awful service, we eventually left without receiving anything! We will not be returning!

Popped in for lunch with my wife. Lovely fish and chips. Service excellent. Not been in for a few years but will be back much quicker.

On our way to elsewhere, we popped in for lunch during a downpour - well, it's the west coast! The haggis fritters sounded interesting - but they were a revelation! Absolutely delicious.

My husband and I stayed here in 2015 and I returned with my parents in August 2024- both times were lovely. The large lodge was as wonderful- very comfortable, well-equipped, and warm, and an excellent base for wonderful walks. Food in the pub was lovely, and service is friendly, warm, and kind. I hope to be back sooner rather than later!
