The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Had been really looking forward to a visit. Planned to have a coffee after the drive from Edinburgh then shop for cheese and then back to cafe for lunch. Brusque instruction on where to sit then surprise we were having just coffee and a cold drink. We then waited and waited. Only when 2 tables who arrived after us were served did we realise it was time to leave. There was entertainment from another table who were served a charcoal toastie. They tried to deal with the situation with little help or attention from the waiting staff - who looked busy but not very effective. Disappointed but hope the cheese from the shop will be good

Food choice limited and unwilling to change the menu in any way. Beans on toast is only served until 1100hrs, but you can still have beans with a jacket potato and a toasted sandwich at lunch, but not beans on toast. We tried 2 cakes (rolo slice and rocky road) - both were awful, full of sugar, soft when they should have been hard and did not taste good at all, they were left on the plate. Very expensive for an underwhelming lunch. The park attached to it is very poorly maintained and very disappointing. THere are hardly any animals to see and the play equipment has not been changed, fixed or upgraded in years by the looks of things. I had been a few years back and it was great, but it has not aged well at all.

TripAdvisor wants me to review this as a restaurant but it's a campsite, with lodges and B&B rooms that also has a bar and restaurant. The food is very good, we had a huge plateful of flavourful homemade pasta, and a steak and Buckfast pie. Delicious, and no skimping on the portions. Although they had the same problem at dinner and breakfast, frequently "closing the kitchen" and not taking any orders for 15 minutes at a time to "clear the backlog". From arriving for breakfast to having our food in front of us was the best part of 45 minutes, just to get two sausage sandwiches. More staff needed? Friendly service though, accommodation was clean and comfortable, loads of space in the B&B rooms and a nice hot shower after a long day on the West Highland Way.

Was advised by guests at another hotel that Powfoulis Manor did excellent food so we called in on spec. We had a freshly cooked 4 course meal at £35 each, generous portions and very tasty. The restaurant was immaculately clean and staff attentive. Will return.

Great Friendly staff & The Homemade Soup was Delicious & Sandwiches so Fresh we had to have a piece of Coffee & Walnut Cake so good & Really Reasonable Prices x June The Lady who served us was so nice & Couldn't have done enough for us we will definitely recommend Mona's & Return Thank You Jennifer & Charlie 🥰

Excellent hotel lovely period features. Everything worked. Helpful and friendly people Nice feel about the place Great family venue.

Went to coaster this morning for a breakfast this been awee while since last there for one just lovely and hot no complaints what so ever staff nice and helpfull

Lovely staff. Great coffee, and the perfect cheese and onion toastie - nice strong cheddar the perfect cheese to onion ratio.

Excellent place for lunch. Basic menu, but well prepared and presented. Nice coffee and selection of home baking. Would recommend it for a snack or coffee stop.

An amazing cafe with amazing food and staff, our go to place for lunch, can't recommend enough. The food is super and made with local ingredients, homemade baking and ice cream is second to none. Be sure to visit and even if your not staying on Lismore the ferry trip from Oban is worth it.

Called in for lunch today, although extremely busy the staff handled a busy lunch sitting with great expertise and always with a smile. We felt very welcomed and counter staff were really helpful in our needs and choice of food. One young member of waiting staff did a wonderful job of clearing tables, seating diners in accordance of their needs, and serving lunches - all with a charming smile. The food in itself was delicious and fairly priced. I did think of the kitchen/cooking staff as plate after plate left the kitchen, speedily and looking freshly tasty. From experience I would say this is one of the best cafe teams I have experienced in many years. Working together, everything “just works” super smooth, super pleasant lunch experience.

Went in for a quick coffee. Very disappointed as it turned out to be an average cup of instant coffee. When I ordered the americano there was no mention that the coffee was instant. From my seat I could see into the kitchen. I was a bit concerned to see the various cleaning products below the microwave, where the food was being prepared. The gentleman who served us was very pleasant, however I felt he was being let down by a lack of basic training in food hygiene.

Excellent presentation and equally matched with good quality food. The haggis Bon Bons were perfectly cooked with a nice crisp side salad & Tasty dip. The rump steak was excellent value for money, tender and tasty. My only tiny gripe was our chocolate fudge cake tasted more like sticky toffee pudding but none the less it was deliciously soft we didn’t complain 😊Friendly, prompt service and all reasonably priced . Will definitely return and would recommend .

Great location. Everything is accessible. The parking is good. I would have loved to know that the restaurant was Michelin star restaurant when I checked in. The rooms are nice however I would have preferred a firm mattress as an option.

I’ll have to think extremely carefully about when I last enjoyed a dining experience more delicious, well presented, or more perfectly seasoned than this. This is the restaurant attached to Parklands Hotel. My choices were crab, sea bass, and the chocolate and hazelnut dessert. The crab was sublime, succulent and just the correct sliver of sweet. The sea bass was exceptionally tender whilst maintaining a perfect crisp skin, with a delectable texture. To finish the chocolate and hazelnut dessert was just sublime, a lovely honeycomb snap adorned it, with a balanced hazelnut ice cream and chocolate ganache. Service was attentive and at the perfect pace, with a well made espresso to complement the experience. Really it’s a gem of a place, that I look forward to returning to in the future!
