The best restaurants serving British food in Scotland

Corries was a great place to eat, but it closed and has now reopened. It is now called MIVA, the food is excellent, the staff are helpful and attentive without being pushy. I would recommend it.

Pretty disappointing dinner here. Came and ordered two steak baguettes, each costing almost £20. They came covered in a caremelised onion chutney and so much melted cheese and yet, were still so bland. Bad bread, bad steak, bad cheese. It came with a watery chimichurri sauce for dipping, which didn't really feel thought through with the rest of the dish. Won't be back.

We ordered a takeaway afternoon tea for three for Mother’s Day and were not disappointed with the amazing selection we received for a very reasonable price. Everything was very fresh and tasty, from the finger sandwiches to the homemade quiche and sausage rolls, the macarons, tiny cakes and scones with jam. Displayed on my folding afternoon tea platter it certainly looked the part for a wonderful Mother’s Day afternoon celebration whilst staying at the nearby Castleview Holiday Lodges at Lauder.

Came for lunch , restaurant was very busy but found us a table in the corner. Enjoyed the lunch , especially the fish chowder ! The service as pleasant, swift and efficient !

Another great meal at Lochside this time for my mums birthday, I can’t see past the monkfish so stayed true to form and again it was awesome, halloumi pakora was also a great starter a jewel for east Ayrshire and highly recommended as always

Great pub, fantastic staff, felt really welcome, food was outstanding, Leanne made us feel welcome, will definitely be back

Tomamos el té funerario de mi papá aquí. La habitación estaba perfectamente equipada y el personal era amable y muy servicial. La pasta para untar era preciosa, con un montón de té y café recargados. Gracias a todo el personal por ayudarnos a despedirnos de mi papá. xx

Excellent little road-side cafe near Balmullo, Fife, with views over the Eden estuary. Their is always a great choice of food, and the outside seating area is good for taking a dog.

There have been many changes since we last visited Whitmuir pre-pandemic. The farm food shop has gone and has been replaced by Junkshop Antiques (which used to operate from smaller premises on the site); The Dancing Light gallery apparently moved online some time ago and the vacant unit they previously occupied was due to be re-launched as a (Christmas) shop when we were there in November 2022. The café looks the same as before (minus the gallery’s paintings) but opened again under new ownership in September 2022 and now trades simply as Whitmuir Cafe. I’m glad to see the log burner remains in place as it is needed to try to keep this cavernous place warm at this time of year. Quercus Garden Plants still operate on the site however when we visited garden plants were not something we were looking to explore. At the time of our lunch visit there was a slow, steady flow of customers but these are large premises to fill so it lacked atmosphere. The menu choice is modest and we ordered up their Toastie of the Day, which was ham and cheese, served with house salad and dressing £6.95). My wife’s request to replace the sourdough bread with brown bread was met. I ordered a Bagel with chicken & lemon mayonnaise, also served with house salad and dressing (£6.25). We both enjoyed our lunch - the chicken was plentiful and tasty with the mayo, the toastie filling good quality and we both rated the house salad and dressing very highly. The only criticism was that the cutlery knives seemed blunt. The coffee we had along with the food was very good - Flat white (£2.95) and Americano (£2.60) - so we ordered another to go along with the home bakes both of which happened to be gluten free. My wife requested the smaller of the large looking slices of Treacle and Lemon tart on display, which turned out to be wise since she was unable to finish it; and I had an Almond slice which I too was unable to finish. Verdict on the cakes was “okay” however we have only rarely found a gluten free cake which we could say we really enjoyed so that is probably just our taste. Overall cost of lunch was just over £29 which we thought was good value. Staff were friendly and efficient. It’s early days for the revised format and not as attractive an overall destination for us however we wish them well. Check opening hours if travelling - seems to be Wednesday to Sunday, 10.00am until 4.00pm at present.

Beautiful views of the golf course and very friendly service! I had soup and onion rings that were wonderful with sticky toffee pudding for dessert, which was sublime. My husband had caesar salad with chicken and he thought the chicken was a bit dry. That is the only reason not a 5 star. We still highly recommend!

Fantastic cakes! The choc-nut slice is particularly good. Fantastic coffee too A really good place to stop off, very friendly host too

Stayed a few hours on a Dreich day before the foot passenger ferry. Clean, friendly and dog friendly. Popular with locals and tourists alike. Prices were lower than expected!

What an absolutely gem of a place. Quality food, tasty and inexpensive. The staff are so professional and knowledgeable about the food on the menu. The bonus is that the staff are so welcoming and thoughtful. A gem of a place and will certainly be returning again and again. To the owner of this exceptional hotel keep up the good work.

Great stop for food after whisky tour at strathisla distillery. Staff helpful and service is quick even as a big group Good portions and the curry sauce is brilliant,

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!
