The best restaurants serving French food in South West Scotland

Phoned up last minute for a burger & cake. Station bistro did not disappoint 🤤 I got a chicken burger with halloumi, bacon with slaw & maple syrup with sesame seeds for on my burger. The bun was toasted just the right amount, chicken was cooked too perfection.. Bacon was just the right amount of crisp and the halloumi was also fab (usually halloumi can be a hit or miss and quite rubbery anywhere else) but I would highly recommend getting it on your burger. I have a very sweet tooth and the biscoff brownie hit the spot. The staff are so lovely aswell. Will 110% be back ❤️

The 1906 restaurant is of course situated within the 5 star Turnberry Hotel, and these surroundings undoubtedly enhance the whole dining experience. The hotel itself luxurious and is situated in an outstanding elevated position with stunning views. On arrival you may choose to enjoy an aperitif in the comfortable bar area before heading into the restaurant. We were there on a Friday night and while enjoying a well presented and delicious gin and tonic in the bar, we were unexpectedly treated to an entertaining talk on the ‘haggis’, followed by a rendition of Burns’ ‘Address to the Haggis’, by an impressively dressed piper who also entertained us on the bagpipes. Guests were offered an ‘amuse bouche’ of haggis, neeps and tatties, presented in a small shot glass. Afterwards we entered 1906, the hotel’s formal dining room. This is a beautiful and spacious room with huge windows which frame the outstanding views. The tables were impeccably dressed, as one would expect. The staff were knowledgeable, thoroughly professional, and warm and friendly; without being inappropriate or intrusive. They have perfected just the right balance. My right arm was in plaster, after recently breaking my wrist in a fall. I was struggling to cut my perfectly delicious venison. Our waitress noticed this immediately and discreetly offered to assist me. My husband had noticed at the same time and took the task in hand, but I very much appreciated the waitress’ kindness and attentiveness. The food and wine were excellent and beautifully presented. Our whole experience at Turnberry compared well with the best of restaurants and hotels internationally, though of course it retains its distinctly Scottish ambiance. We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening and would certainly recommend.

Great experience, stopped off by chance and stayed for an amazing lunch. Greeted by the world famous Gordon and fellow kilty. Stunning view over to Arran and Paddi's Milestone. Food plentiful and bar service with non alcohol drinks.

We live in Fife and have never been to Strathaven before, but after visiting the Cafe Deli (Alexander Taylor) have left with a very positive impression of the town! Quick service, interesting menu, complimentary newspapers, plenty of customers. Enjoyed Armenian Lentil soup which was superb on a chilly winter's day, with some artisan bread from the associated bakery across the street. Sampled some nice tray bakes too.

Went here on our second night in Brodick, having been to sister restaurant Brambles the previous evening. Though really quite good, this wasn't as enjoyable as the first. Food was good, my chicken supreme on haggis mash was a revelation, though my wife's vegatarian linguine was fairly basic. The pear and bacon salad starters which we both had were really good. Service wasn't quite as slick as Brambles and the atmosphere wasn't as comfortable (we had a particularly noisy table of three close by), but it's still a pretty good place to eat!

Tasty food and great value for money. Not too expensive. Staff are nice. Crepes and Tempura are delicious. Had and always will be a classic Kilmarnock pub.
