The best restaurants serving French food in Scotland

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.

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.

What a fantastic restaurant. The excellent reviews really are deserved. The table was booked for 4 and the welcome was warm and we had a wonderful table in front of the fire with plenty of elbow room. The food was absolutely delicious, with a great selection available and it was clean plates for all courses all round. The service was also excellent and whilst it was a relaxed, not rushed meal they also made sure we were finished and ready for when our cab was booked. If I was passing Comrie again without doubt I would go back.

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

Cafe noir was just amazing! I walked in with a kind welcome from the staff! Very friendly and quick with the order. The food was delicious. 5/5 experience!

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

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.

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.

We really enjoyed our visit. We had the 5 course tasting menu. Every course was delicious. We particularly liked how fresh and light the dishes were. We will be back!

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.

He tenido el placer de seguir el viaje culinario de Ana y Mickael durante más de quince años, desde sus días en Water of Leith Bistro en Coburg Street, pasando por Canonmills y ahora en Cocorico en Jane Street. Lo que me hace volver es el genuino ambiente de bistró que han cultivado. Cocorico ofrece algo maravillosamente auténtico en una era de alta eficiencia, Instagram - restaurantes optimizados. No encontrarás gente comiendo una habitación - tazón de grano temporal debajo de un letrero de neón rosa que dice “Vivir mi mejor vida” en cursiva aquí. En su lugar, experimentarás un espacio cálido y vivido donde el enfoque es la conexión, la conversación y la buena comida. El menú celebra ingredientes sencillos y frescos preparados con una inconfundible influencia francesa. Cada plato llega con cuidado y atención. Me encantan las opciones principales (croque monsieur y variedades) pero los especiales siempre se consideran cuidadosamente la cocina de temporada. Recomiendo particularmente sus Îles flottantes, que me cuesta resistir y mirar con pesar cuando no puedo hacer el día en que se hacen. Ana ha rechazado mis sugerencias sobre las opciones de entrega a domicilio. Sí, está escondido en un rincón industrial de Leith, un puerto con conexiones históricas francesas de los días de la Alianza Auld, pero esto hace que Cocorico se sienta como una joya escondida perfectamente colocada que vale la pena buscar. Después de quince años de lealtad a la visión de Ana y Mickael, puedo decir con confianza que han creado algo especial en Cocorico.

Was so good the first time we went, I booked again 2 weeks later. Lovely cosy restaurant oozing with charm. Brilliant service. And the food...beyond any superlative that I could muster. An a la carte and Set Menu offering a Soupe du jour, Starter du jour and Plat du jour. It's a good job we don't live locally as I'd be eating here every night:) Can't wait to go back.

Cafe Boheme is a long-time favourite for my partner and I - always our number 1 choice when we're looking to celebrate a special occasion! The seasonal menu always has a range of local produce, and a great selection of vegetarian/vegan options. Every dish we've tried there has been delicious. The service is also second-to-none, and the team there go above and beyond to make sure that you're having a great experience.
