The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

Went back today after it being a while since we had been. More great chat about jam making and great service. Had lovely soup and toastie. Really recommend dropping in if you are in the area.

Now this is what I call a bowl of soup. The tastiest chicken and rice soup I've ever had. So filling unfortunately I had no room for a tasty toastie or any of the cakes on display. This welcoming cafe in the pretty village of Kirkmichael in South Ayrshire is well worth the drive. Just 20 mins from Ayr.

Reading all the review I was really looking forward to our visit here. The staff were friendly and the place clean and tidy. I wanted a hot quiche but was told there would be a 20 minute wait so we both had cock-a-leekie soup . There was chicken and bit of leek but this was a very thin plate of soup with no real substance the ratio of stock to the other ingredients was poor. I was also upset by the fact that they allow dogs in the cafe. There was one sitting with it's owner in the corner and it whined all the time we were there . The owner did not seem to be bothered by this .

This man is just the highlight if the train station in arbroath. Best service in town and he is there in all coldness also. his coffee is the best. I love the Americano but have had the latte and cappuccino too and equally as good. Have to get a coffee each time I get the train and he's there!

We've been a few times now and always try something different. I've had the Victoria sponge, the cheesecake and the various scones and they are all fabulous! The service is great and the staff are very friendly - the only thing that lets it down is the poor ventilation.

Visited this deli on Tuesday 23 April 2024. First visit. Excellent array of goods. Well priced. Very friendly staff. Would highly recommend.

Me and my partner were on a trip nearby and thought to stop into Kelty for some breakfast and found Ola’s! It’s a lovely little place very clean and professional my partner got the Ola’s tattie stack which he said was amazing! The cake selection was great as well with so many choices! We hope to come back soon!

Excellent food and a good choice all served in lovely surroundings by great staff. Good choice of soups and sandwiches and meals

Popped up in for soup and a sandwich after a trip to St Cyrus beach. Wish we'd discovered this gem sooner! Love the old railway and the cafe itself is full of character. Loved the warm welcome, friendly quick service, good food and wander around the station afterwards. Thank you!

Recently re-opened as a restaurant after being a wedding-only venue for several years. Beautiful country house in a lovely rural setting. Staff are very welcoming and looked after us very well. Food was great - modern Scottish. Overall feels like a really high-end experience, but at prices similar to many St Andrews restaurants.

We had big breakfasts and macaroni cheese and chips. Food was lovely, very tasty. Barry the owner was great too. Highly recommend. We will be in again.

Loved this place! Came across it after a visit to Culross Palace. There were a couple of cafés which were closer but they were either a bit busier/noisier or welcomed dogs, which frankly puts me off. So glad we found Rankin's Café! Such a lovely, friendly, sunny place with a warm welcome and superb food. I had the soup of the day (Scotch broth) with the most delicious bread. A thoroughly enjoyable lunch. Would definitely recommend!

Forgot my lunch before work, and Vegana was the only place open. So glad I went there. Ended up buying a delicious wrap with falafel, and it was absolutely outstanding. Wonderful flavours. The staff were so friendly and lovely too. I'd highly recommend this place - the interior is very welcoming, and there is a wide variety of food that all looks just as tasty. I'll definitely be visiting again.
