The best restaurants serving French food in Central Scotland

Popped in today for lunch. Not knowing Creiff we were not sure where to choose, but the temporary traffic lights stopped us in front of here, and the deal was done. Lovely bright room cosy atmosphere and superb food. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Would definitely return if back in the area.

Proper old school the fruit scones are to die for, beautiful sourdough loafs! I plan to work my way through all of the fresh baked good sweet and savoury over the next few weeks. Gem of a place there is a reason for the queue…

We tried The Crepe Shack at The Scottish Deer Centre. Crepe's are made to order, fresh, staff are friendly, it cost £5.25 for a Nutella and Banana Crepe. It was really good. We shared this as a family, passing it around for bite until it was gone and it served as a lovely sweet snack which broke up our time exploring the Centre. We would purchase from them again.

Popped in today for a drink and a roll. Amazing food and services with a location to die for on the shore line next to the tidal pool

Visiting Montrose for the first time as my partner’s mother has just moved there. She found this bakery on a 10 best website in Montrose and we walked down to try it. A five minute walk from the centre, it is a lovely and bright little shop with a few sets of tables to eat in and a beautiful display of different flavours of tart and a selection of cakes. I’ve now visited twice in two days and had hot chocolate, flat white, salmon and spinach tart, raspberry and vanilla cheesecake, lemon and blueberry cake, and pistachio and chocolate brownie. This may sound slightly greedy but trust me, it was all worth it! Highly recommend for takeaway or eat in. Friendly and chatty staff, a family run business that also sell at local farmers markets.

Couldn't ask for a better meal than at Achray House. The chef has to be commended for the fabulous food on offer here.

Received a warm welcome, great service & food was delicious. Highly recommend. This restaurant was a chance find & what a find!

Great stop. The food was great. The butter chicken and naan hit the right way after walking half the day.

During our overnight stop in Inveraray, we enjoyed a great dinner at Samphire. I made reservations but we ended up arriving earlier and got seated right away. We came for the seafood and were not disappointed. There were just so many good choices to pick from. The smoke salmon fettuccine was creamy and good. The fish special was actually sea bream which was the first time eating it cooked instead of as sashimi. It came out whole and I butchered the deboning. The seasoning was excellent and the fish was delicate and sweet. We ended dinner by eating our very first sticky toffee pudding and enjoyed it very much. Moist pudding made of dates which we complemented by the toffee sauce and scoop of vanilla ice cream. A great finish. Service was very attentive and friendly throughout.

Seems like they are cramming more tables in these days, but the atmosphere is still good and the food is exceptional.

Great food, very friendly staff. Perfect when studying hard. Get the fiorucci pizza, omelet, or the crepes, all are great.

Chilled. Lovely friendly hang out.

Service is stunning! . . . all staff we met were knowledgeable, elegantly gracious, polished yet discreetly unobtrusive. Our server, Callum, provided a proficiently responsive service. The food is ambrosial! . . . comprising seasonal dishes, locally sourced, innovatively crafted, into delectable blends of colours, textures and flavours. For example: Partridge, Pork Cheek, Red Wine & Beetroot Risotto, Garden Kale. Yummy! The layout, decor and outside garden provide a relaxed, stylish environment.

Short notice booking for 7. Everything was fab; starters, mains, puds, drinks & service. All left very happy. Great restaurant.

The food we ate was infused with so much flavour. The appetisers in particular were substantial and exquisite and everything was freshly prepped and cooked. Friendly and welcoming service.
