The best restaurants serving British food in Central Scotland

Excellent Hogmanay meal in the Meikle Restaurant - a somewhat different way of serving people (as usual over the festive period Crieff Hydro did not explain anything), but the speediest Hogmanay meal I have had there in decades and very good food and service. Why the low overall rating therefore? Cast out of the Meikle as never contacted by Festive Catering to make a restaurant choice despite chasing all through October, November and December (told to email them again on the 28th, they responded they will get back to me in a week's time!). In fairness, the Food and Beverage Manager did see us, but simply to reiterate the policy that in such a huge hotel a table of 3 would scupper everything in the Meikle; there was no explanation as to what had gone on in (mis-)handling our booking, nor was any apology offered. A poor handling of a complaint with no attempt at remedy. A waiting list for the 7:00pm Meikle sitting for example? Exiled back down to the Terrace restaurant again this evening I fear ...

Nos alojamos con mi marido por un par de noches y el hotel es precioso. Habitación muy bonita con una cama grande preciosa y bañera increíble. El personal es encantador y dispuesto a hacer su estancia perfecta. No tuvimos brekkie, ya que no somos gente del desayuno, así que no podemos comentar eso. Muy recomendable. Volveremos.

Popped in here today for a look. Got one punnet of strawberries and two lovely strawberry tarts. Both very reasonably priced. Lovely pleasant young lady on cash desk. Who was very helpful. Had a good selection of other vegetables too.

Never thought I'd ever eat here but it's actually great. I'd highly recommend. Food great, space unique, waitresses superb

My elderly father brought me here for lunch. I was very pleasantly surprised. Staff were friendly and polite, service was quick and staff were attentive. Food was delicious, hearty size portions. Very reasonably priced. When I visit a new restaurant, I always check the toilets and rate restaurant based on this, they were very good, clean, tidy & well stocked. I don’t live in the area however I will remember my visit & will aim to return one day. If you ever find yourself near Falkirk, I highly recommend you dine here.

Visited whilst wondering through St Andrews. Lovely little find, nice atmosphere, friendly staff and fabulous soup! Cakes looked delicious too.

I saw here doing a walk from Falkirk to Linlithgow. And found this hidden gem and stopped off for some drinks and soup to fuel us up. The restaurant is located right next to the canal with beautiful views the staff were friendly and helpful the food was slow to come out however we were in no hurry to move a we were stopping off for rest on this long walk. The food was good and prices were reasonable. I would return

1st visit to Karma Lake. Very impressed on arrival. Stunning location. The weather was not the best on the day so already planning a trip back in spring/summer. Food was tremendous 3 menus available on that particular day. A very impressive collection of whisky in the Malt Vault. I believe Karma have their own blended whisky too. Great service with friendly staff. We were told of summer BBQ'S & boat trips out to the Island on the Lake of Monteith. Will definitely be back for that.

Bought one sourdough bread loaf and 3 brownies. He said we can have the last brownie (the fourth) for free yet we still payed £18 all together. No prices shown online and hard to find prices in the shop. Tasted great but not for that amount of money!

Enjoyed a lovely evening in Benny ts restaurant. Great food. Good atmosphere. Fish and chips were great. Service was excellent. Kayley did a great job serving us. She was pleasant and well mannered and had a good knowledge of the menu. All the staff were pleasant. We will go back.

Myself and my husband visited here on 26/04/25. We had drinks at the bar and all of the younger girls serving were absolutely lovely and friendly - a real credit to the place. We also had food which was lovely. Only real negative was that my husband ordered mussels as a main but there were hardly any. They came in a huge pot which was filled less than half and some were closed so couldn’t be eaten. We came here especially for the mussels, which were Really disappointing for the price.

Great spot to grab a coffee and breakfast. They have good food options and is a quaint and cozy place. I really enjoy their smashed avocado toast.

Lovely lunch. Best burger I’ve ever had! Staff very friendly. Will be recommending to friends & family. Good stop off on way to Glencoe

Thank goodness this place has closed down -heard that Mr/Mrs Grouch (previous staffing) have left the building to take on landscaping work instead.

Located just by the ferry this is a great cafe. I recommend the Cullen Skink ( smoked haddock soup), really good. Friendly service too and good value.
