The best restaurants serving French food in Scotland

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

A new restaurant in the area since we were here last. It was a last minute booking but they managed to squeeze us in if we arrived early. The only problem for us was that the menu was full of great ‘different’ choices, and it was difficult to decide! I had the mushroom, leek, and white truffle soup, followed by the pork belly with some excellent accompaniments (I especially like the bean cassoulet), while my wife had a broccoli starter (I can’t remember all that was in it but she said it was so full of flavours) followed by the smoked haddock which she claims is the best smoked haddock she has ever tasted , and we know our fish! No licence so we took our own wine and they offered to keep the white wine in the fridge and be served as and when, or in a cooler at the table. Iced water was automatic. Presentation superb, service was impeccable, and the chef took time out to chat. If you haven’t been here, you’re missing out - it’s superb - we will be back!

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.

This Cafe 'formerly 'the Thistle' Now 'THE MAISON' is Like finding a golden nugget to me, I like a morning roll such as egg sausage bacon etc. And if there is one thing that annoys me is the dreaded 'dry roll' without spread of some sorts. One of the things i like about this new cafe is ‘They do this... without you having to ask’.. Now after warning 3 Other cafes in the area if they continued the practice of the 'dreaded dry morning roll , I would go elsewhere. Unfortunately they continued to give me thee old Gordon Ramsey trick of sticking the roll on the hot plate & Ignored my customer feed back.… So what did i do?… Well being a man of my word, I do not accept ‘second best’ and Loe and behold the next again Day…. I find this Diamond of a cafe' THE MAISON' who believe in giving the customer what they want … So let me say... this this is the best Cafe in the Tollcross area, so give them a try I guarantee you will not be disappointed and will surely become a regular. Apart from morning rolls & breakfasts they have an Excellent lunch and dinner menu, you will walk away completely satisfied with the food and thee Delightful helpful and polite staff Staff.

Very Delicious sea food and lovely services by Laura.

We had the five course tasting menu. There were six of us and it was the first time for all of us. We started with add on of oysters and the fried oyster was amazing. The food was innovative and creative with a couple of dishes that were quite different than I’ve ever had. The somm was quite helpful in helping picking us pick out a couple of nice bottles. Everyone raved about the cocktails that were served. Would highly recommend and look forward to return again

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

Great experience. The place is cozy, with lots of seating and a chill vibe. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The staff were friendly, and the whole atmosphere was really nice. Definitely a good spot for a quick and tasty meal!

Excelente calidad. Todo en las eclairs está hecho desde cero y la calidad y el sabor son excelentes. Esta es una de las joyas escondidas culinarias de Edimburgo.

Excellent. Very friendly and professional. Great French patisserie with everything you could wish for - highly recommended

Very poor communication in respect of getting back to you and enquiring about vegetarian meals. Still not resolved . Asked for vegetarian option for April, after 3 attempts at contacting them . Still haven't seen a menu even though I was told it would be available early April.

Visité aquí el miércoles para un café y pastel / rollo. La camarera vino por nuestra orden, pero no estábamos listos. Luego esperamos 20 minutos sin que nadie viniera a ofrecer servicio. Mientras tanto, estábamos viendo a un miembro del personal trabajando de plano para hacer cafés mientras otros 4 coqueteaban, se reían y bromeaban entre sí detrás del mostrador de servicio. Intentamos llamar la atención del grupo que no trabaja detrás del mostrador sosteniendo el brazo en alto, etc., pero fuimos totalmente ignorados. Eventualmente subí al mostrador para pedir servicio (perdón por consentir a sus chicos divertidos) informándoles que en realidad estábamos a punto de irnos ya que habíamos sido ignorados durante tanto tiempo. Entonces todos se separaron y desaparecieron y alguien más apareció por nuestra orden. Esto llegó rápidamente y era de un buen nivel. Antes de terminar, una de las chicas del grupo de coqueteo se acercó y se llevó un plato y una taza. No había terminado y mi amigo acababa de tragarse su última boca llena de café. Definitivamente estaba ‘en un suspiro’. Más tarde intentamos llamar la atención para pagar la cuenta. ¿Adivina qué? Al final acabamos de subir al mostrador. No volveremos a pesar de que somos locales. 3 estrellas es para la comida y el café - 0 estrellas para el personal en particular.

Great food/service! Loved the ambience too - low lighting and French music. Chateaubriand was 10/10

Ate here today for lunch 27th February, Aberdeen restaurant week. Great value £30 for 2 courses. Delicious food, I had the vegan/vegetarian option , friend had trout & Beef. Perfect size portion for lunch. My favourite restaurant in Aberdeen.

Highly recommend! We had a lovely stay here. The room was excellent, the restaurant was wonderful, and the staff was truly outstanding. Very much enjoyed both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant. Looking forward to the next time! Thanks for a wonderful stay.
