The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

We booked here, thinking that we could have our tea during our planned visit to Torridon. I emailed the restaurant and got a response the following morning confirming our table for that evening. It was a bit of challenging drive, steep single track road over spectacular mountain scenery, and a good hour from where we were staying, and well worth making the trip. What a superb meal we had in this quirky and perfectly formed little restaurant! The creel caught langoustines were wonderful, and my husband said his venison was outstanding. Our son had a double bacon burger, and it defeated him (remarkable in itself). Aart was a super host and the place was full, so we felt lucky they could fit us in. Booking is a must, and you won’t be disappointed!

Superb, What delight. I highly recommend this eatery. I had whitebait to start with followed by the langoustine, cooked to perfection and allowed the ingredients to sing. My partner had traditional mac and cheese it was fantastic. The humble little kitchen can teach the big boys in St Andrews a thing or 2. The only thing I would like to point out is the bar is separate from the restaurant so it is only pub wine available. So for all you wine drinkers be warned. But the food and service more than makes up for this. I will add this food is cooked to order so if you are impatient go to Macdonald’s. You do need to book in advance! Now the bonus the price this restaurant is beyond reasonable, ridiculously priced, you could double your prices!

What a find, simply superb cafe, shop and staff. The cakes and scones are enormous so great value and we’ve already booked for breakfast on our way back.

Had a great stay lovely room very friendly couple and a fantastic breakfast with nothing left out. Didn’t need any more all day ! Will be back next year.

Visité Scran para Dunner. Excelente comida y servicio en Scran. El precio de la cena fue menor de lo esperado. Una necesidad para cualquier amante de la comida en el West End de Glasgow. Necesito probar el desayuno la próxima vez. Muy recomendable.

What words come to mind when I think back on my experience at Condita? Heart, Desire, Innovation, Thought, Perspective, Playfulness, Intelligence and Beauty to only name a few. From the moment we arrived, the warmth we felt from not only the staff, but the ambiance, the restaurant itself, felt alive. Our hosts made us feel like family instantly, kindly taking our coats and seating us at our table (1 of only few) and discussing how our tour would unfold, from how the menu worked to a history of the wines they offered. Nothing was spared to give us the best understanding of just how much care was put into cultivating an amazing opportunity to eat, drink, learn, absorb and appreciate everything Chef and his team were there to do. The food, was unbelievable, each course was hit after hit, easily the best food I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve been to many places and tasted much). This menu was incomparable, and the wines were phenomenal accompaniments, taking each dish further than I thought possible. I’ve never had a better experience, and the next time I’m in Edinburgh, Condita will be where I’m found. Bravo to the team, you far exceeded any expectation that I may have had, you hit the land running and burned the all of the shipsb. But that’s enough from me.

This is a fantastic spot for great food — easily the best burgers in Inverness. Everything is delicious, fresh, and made with care. The macaroni and chilli dishes are outstanding, and the loaded fries are absolutely worth trying. The staff are warm, welcoming, and excellent at what they do.

Lovely museum with excellent displays describing the history and life of the people of Lewis. . As part of our tour, a local guga hunter gave a presentation on how guga birds were hunted . Absolutely fascinating. Sadly, we did not have time to eat at the cafe.

I had the absolute pleasure of dining at The Academy and it was a braw experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was warm and inviting and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure we were well looked after. The food was simply outstanding. I started with the vegetables spring rolls, which were crispy on the outside and bursting with flavour on the inside. For the main course, I had the sticky beef rice, which was cooked to absolute perfection and melted in the mouth. the portions were the perfect size for lunch and every bite was a delight. To top it off, the sticky toffee pudding for dessert was the perfect end to a fantastic meal. Overall, the Academy is a gem. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend giving it a try. You won't be disappointed!

Cannot fault this place. From the customer service, the food, drink and atmosphere. We had our dog and he was given treats and attention. The food was amazing and they do stunning cocktails. Can’t wait to go back

The tasting menu we were served at The Dipping Lugger was quite something… including incredibly good halibut and the biggest and tastiest scallop I’ve ever eaten. Every course was a hit. Can’t comment on the wine pairing as we didn’t choose it, instead opting for a Ullapool G&T each which was very nice. The service here is really warm and friendly, I didn’t catch the waitresses name but she went the extra mile taking time to talk to us about the food and our trip. The only other feedback I can give is that it felt very brightly lit in the dining room, some softer lighting would help make it feel cosier. Thank you again for such a brilliant evening, we already want to return!

Lovely local cafe. Friendly staff. Good sandwiches and soup.

Lucky to find that dinner was available on one of the nights. The meal was excellent. Extremely well cooked, presented and served. Don't miss the opportunity to eat there if you can. Elaine is a great cook/chef.

I go to Kooee often for brunch and love everything on the menu. The maple tofu panini and salads are my faves though.. or maybe the Dahl.. too hard to choose! Coffee and smoothies are also great. I like picking up wee gifts at the shop attached. Staff always friendly and warm. Hands down my favourite spot ❤️

What a fantastic place!!! So comfy, welcoming and lovely. Breakfast was amazing and dinner in the restaurant was perfect. Highly recommend!
