The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Scotland

I was in yesterday afternoon with my mother and gran for some lunch before doing some shopping, as we sat down at our table a woman with blonde short hair and glasses came up to us and asked if we would like some salt and pepper for our soup we replied”no thank you”. The rest of our food was then brought out by the same woman and my mother asked for some ketchup, the woman said “I just asked if you wanted any and you said no” with an attitude. The woman asked if we wanted salt and pepper not any sauce. And the woman gave my mother the most evil look and stared at her for a good few seconds! Apart from that the food was good but the customer service from this woman was disgusting which made us feel very unwanted.

On visit to Galashiels, I just had to pop into Macaris for breakfast, been several times in the past, and wasn't disappointed. Great friendly service and great breakfast.

So people are asking why this place closed, as it's quite rightly got great reviews for staff service, food, coffee, and general vibe. This was my favourite spot to have a quiet coffee or meet people for a light lunch in Dundee. Basically, the story is that the owner shafted a pregnant employee the day after she went on maternity. He "fired" her and refused to pay her maternity. The staff, having apparently been paid not that great already which is testament to their professionalism given the quality of service, walked out in protest. This was late Spring when the hospitality industry seemingly had ten job vacancies for every candidate, so they rapidly just found other work and Birchwood's workforce simply evaporated overnight. Word got out on Facebook and, especially given the prices, ignited a general boycott of the place through the outrage. I'm unsure if the employee ever did get her *legally required* maternity pay. The last that was being said was that the owner had not only blocked her number, but also HMRC's! A lesson in how a lovely place can come crashing down through the sheer greed of its owner.

I usually head for Stranraer every 2weeks ish and always head for the coffee bean as well as it being the best breakfast in Stranraer it's very friendly staff and quality of food make it a must. I'm always here for breakfast which is amazing never any complaints there's even the daily special scones well worth trying

The food was pretty bad and served ice cold. I wanted to send my plate back to be reheated however server did not return for almost 30 minutes so I ate it. Dessert was tasteless! Atmosphere was nice and staff very friendly. Not sure we will return unless they up their game.

once, twice, more than thrice, these clowns manage to F up orders. last 3 orders, half the order missing? Why? inability to move beyond the first number they see and assume that's the quantum (for the dumb Costa staff - this means number) of items. Instead, the quantum is noted as 2@, 3@ etc. Or a little bit of common sense. Look at the cost and think, does one coffee cost £19? Absolute morons. A shame when serving coffee is a competency step too far.

Nearly 20 min to get baked potato. Very inexperienced staff, made latte then mixed that with spoon. Bake potato tasted half cooked, looked horrible and tested horrible, no salad or any side.

The owners of this cafe are clearly charlatans opening fancy looking establishments with the lowest quality of service and food in the city. I recently saw the owner in person when I was in as he paraded around in his flashy designed wear. A pretty appaling scene when it was clear they are understaffing and the workers are being worked to the bone. If you believe in worker's rights, don't support this chain. CHARLATAN! LOW QUALITY ingredients disguised by fancy decor.

If you want a nice hot, tasty, home cooked, good value breakfast, GO ELSEWHERE! Where do I start? I ordered the full all day breakfast, at £9.50, it was not cheap and when it arrived , not looking very good value. The positives. The rosti, beans and toast were nice and hot. The negatives. 2 sausages the size of chipolatas lukewarm. Mushroom stone cold. Streaky bacon, well undercooked, greasy and stone cold. The poached eggs were meant to be soft. They weren't and again barely lukewarm. I complained about the bacon and was brought another plate of cold, greasy undercooked bacon. I again complained and the waitress said she would get me a refund. I said I wasn't wanting one. However, a few minutes later, Jocelyn the restaurant manager appeared to let me know we could have a free hot drink but no way was I getting the refund which I hadn't asked for! Apparently it was no ones fault. I learned that everything is cooked, sorry heated to pre programmed times and temperatures. Also, and perhaps the worst. The poached eggs are deliverd in a little plastic pod with water, I assume partially cooked , and put into hot water to set. YEUGH! Pity they weren't in a shell like other eggs. My wife had the pancakes, bacon and maple syrup. Obviously not fresh made, just heated. Her bacon was the same as mine. At £8.50 it was a disgrace. We won't be back. M&S was always known for quality. What has happened?

Great service, Quality food at reasonable price excellent all round experience that made a visit to this Garden Centre all the more memorable. Many Thanks.

Excellent friendly service and always consistent. Drinks/Coffee service always seems to be slow but equally we are not in a rush. Food quality and portions very good! Look forward to our next visit!

Visited last week for early breakfast with friends. Friendly service, terrific coffee and delicious poached eggs with avocado on toast. I haven’t bothered to write a review for anywhere before, but felt this was outstanding and wish more places could deliver the same experience !

Food was stale and the customer service was poor. The rest of our visit to this branch was also unpleasant due to the abrupt and rude behaviour of the staff.

Great drinks and snacks. Service good too. Pricing not bad. Mocha is excellent. Definitely a good coffee stop, plus great shop.

Wir waren im Urlaub zweimal dort, weil das Essen so hervorragend war. Besonders der Seafood Chowder hatte es uns angetan und der Service war sehr freundlich. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder !
