The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

baked potato was nice macaroni was terribl

All orders freshly made, so no soggy batter to worry about. Also, it was a nice evening, so no problem waiting in the queue, exposed to the weather. However, slightly funny, chemical smell from the fish and chips and a slightly strange taste.

We had one of our best meals of the trip at Sandemans. All of the dishes were delicious, but the whole experience was even better because the sommelier was so knowledgable and took our meal to a whole other level.

We've eaten with the Christopher and Fraser at 63 Tay St 3 times now since November. Each time has been simply superb. Frasers creations from the kitchen are superbly complemented by Christopher's selection of wines to accompany the meal. The use of local ingredients really stands out. The service is first class and we love the ambiance in the restaurant. A warm welcome is always guaranteed. For the quality on offer pricing is very reasonable. Very well done to you all.

After booking a table and arriving early. I had a missed call enquiring where we were and an email cancelling the reservation. The food and service were excellent. The only down side is how dark the stairs and passage way are to the toilets. This is quite disorienting when coming out of the toilets.

Lovely cafe to have lunch. The museum is fascinating, full of local history that may surprise you.

Have to post again back here on a bicycle ride coffee and cake best in the area and the staff are great

Food amazing as always. Great atmosphere, always packed every night of the week. Recommend booking. Best restaurant in Drymen.

Always a treat whether lunch or dinner

We’ve long considered this restaurant a benchmark for quality, and on this visit, the food and service did not disappoint. The kitchen continues to execute dishes with finesse, each plate showcasing good technique and well-balanced flavours. Service was polished, attentive, and welcoming — hallmarks of a well-run establishment. However, we left feeling deeply disappointed, not because of what was on the plate, but because of what we paid for it. Prices have escalated dramatically since over the 20 years we have visited, to a point we now feel it is unreasonable. A £3 course £120 dinner menu is accompanied by various supplements, not least £8 for each small vegetable accompaniment and service of 12.5%. A particular sticking point was the £55 supplement for Dover sole and £40 for Beef Wellington — a charge that feels excessive, even when factoring in quality and sourcing. These were well-cooked pieces of fish and meat, but priced at a level that borders on absurd, as a supplement to a 3 course £120 menu (note not an extra course, but an extra cost to the main course in the 3 course menu). Fine dining will always command a premium, and we’ve never hesitated to pay for excellence. But there’s a difference between a splurge and a squeeze. Sadly, despite the kitchen’s continued high standards, the experience was overshadowed by a creeping sense of being taken advantage of. We’re not sure we’ll return — not because it isn’t good, but because it no longer feels worth it.

Both food and drinks were really good. Also the staff was friendly

This was a lovely place with really friendly and helpful staff . I’m surprised about the review about booking , it’s pretty obvious it would be a good idea to book on an island this small ! The food was superb , so fresh and well cooked . I can’t fault the place and will definitely be back . I’d recommend everyone go once if you are on the island . Yumm

Very Very Disappointed Dirty mugs breakfast was dried out would not go back and I was told it would be freshly cooked to order reheated I think wish I took a photo of the poor quality I was served
