The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Scotland

We attended the restaurant for dinner. The only reason we chose this place for dinner was the two vegetarian options - both of which sounded lovely. Upon arrival we were told that one of ten two options was unavailable. It was the tofu dish. Not sure why it was unavailable given the shelf life of tofu… Was left with the sweet potato dish. It arrived and was greeted with four slices of pumpkin, a dash of cream and a sprinkling of quinoa…. For £19.

We had the carvery which was nice. I ordered a strawberry tart for dessert, however this fell below my expectations. The pastry was very thin & salty, filled with scooshy cream with at most 2 thinly sliced strawberries. The thing that bothered me more than this was the attitude of the male employee ( I presume Supervisor) when the waiter relayed my comments. His raised voice could be heard in the restaurant when he said " It's too salty??". How very unprofessional!

He estado aquí varias veces con mi pareja, siempre estamos encantados con el servicio y la calidad de los alimentos.

We enjoy eating at Shackleton’s. If you are staying at Channings it is a very easy place to grab a bite to eat. Everyone is nice and we enjoy the food.

Where do I start ……… booked there gig package deal to take me and my 5 friends to the Pink concert, amazing value for money and wish I had used this before will definitely use again. We turned up early as the manageress had advised they were very busy. We were meet with a very warm welcome and sat down, we ordered some cocktails to start. Lovely cocktails served by very friendly staff, great selection of food for a set meal. I had the Cajun Chicken was lovely. Staff were very attentive and there was a great wee buzz in the place, it was full to the brim but very well organised. The Manager Carly I think her name was is an absolute asset to yous so friendly and all her staff on the ball. She made sure everything managed for getting all 100 people I think she said out onto the bus, we even had takeaway cocktails 🍸 🫶. Thanks for making the start of our day fabulous.

A pawfect little spot with a pawsome puppacino!! My hoomans love bringing me here and I’m always spoiled by the wonderful staff. Woof woof! Can’t wait to visit again soon.

I used to frequent Cafe Truva at the shore a number of years ago and was looking forward to visiting their Lady Lawson street branch on a visit to town. What a disappointment! The ‘panini spice’ that I used to love was a delicious mix of spiced chicken, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes served with a lovely Turkish-salad meze. Unfortunately there must be profit margins to protect here and the quality of product has been compromised beyond all recognition...bland strips of processed chicken, one piece of sun dried tomato all cooked without seemingly much care. The side salad used to be a real treat served with feta cheese, stuffed vine leaves, tzatziki and cous cous, instead you are now served some chopped lettuce, tomato and cucumber with no dressing.....distressing stuff. I hope they are reading and take these comments into consideration, will not return in a hurry which is a crying shame.

A bit overpriced , I thought , for what you get on their smallish dinner plates . Chips are nice , but food had no presentation . Also , pub was really cold . Sorry to say , I have had nicer meals in other places locally , and not as dear.

Llevé a una madre y una tía mayores a almorzar el sábado, que tal vez no fue el mejor día, ya que estaba muy ocupado y ruidoso. El sándwich club era sabroso, pero los sándwiches de bistec eran difíciles de comer debido al bistec delgado y el pan duro de chapata. El servicio fue bueno pero nos dieron la factura de la mesa contigua al final, que era más que la nuestra. Afortunadamente se dieron cuenta, así que intercambiamos! !

Came to Edinburgh on a 2-day stint to get a taste of the city. Seen this coffee place as one of the recommended and went in eager to taste. Upon entering, it was an unwelcoming atmosphere. In the brief interaction with one of the guys, he was extremely rude and embarrassed my friend in front of other patrons. We were tourists and visiting a number of places to get a sense of Edinburgh in general, incl. all the different recommended bakeries/coffee shops etc. We were not aware of the 'ONLY SPEND IN OUR SHOP, EAT FROM OUR SHOP' policy they had in place, and so took a snack from a local bakery that we seen recommended. Had we known that he was going to inhospitably call it out infront of everyone and make us feel unwelcome, we would never have went in. From a tourist point, its restrictive and detracts from the overall experience of exploring the area's culinary offerings - maybe the guys should keep this in mind for future given that Edinburgh is a city full of tourists? I should also mention that I initially was going to buy a snack from their cafe, as my friend had their own but I had none, however there was only one non-fresh looking croissant left on display? So we were not even aware they even did snacks. We then sat in uncomfortable silence for the duration, quickly drank the coffee, waited to pay (at least 7minutes) a hefty sum for a tiny coffee. Definitely dont recommend for tourists and will not be back

Restaurant closed. No sign of life. Was after opening time. Tables and chairs not yet out. Saw someone else walk away too so that's more than just me they missed out on.

Great find - best coffee I've had in Glasgow - they really know what they are doing here with the coffee. I've tried many rated coffee shops and this surpasses all by quite a way. The offered pastries were also very good. A must visit in Glasgow - you will not be disappointed..

Nasty. Everything was soaked in oil and trying too hard to be different. I now know why I haven’t eaten smoked haddock in batter before, because it doesn’t work and never will. The lemon chunks (in the burger) didn’t help either, a very confused kettle of fish.

The Gretel has recently been reopened by new management who, I understand, used to run The Fleece in Selkirk. My husband and I went for lunch much in a Saturday for our wedding anniversary. The staff were really welcoming as soon as we walked in. The tables are spaced out nicely and the dining room area is attractive. The menu was interesting and it took us a while to decide what to have. In the meantime I had a glass of wine and my husband had a pint of the IPA which he said was very good. In the end we decided on the baked goats cheese with chilli marmalade and sliced baguette and the haggis Bon Bon’s for starters. Main courses were gressingham duck breast with blackberry sauce and haddock and chips. Both were again lovely. We finically decided on creme brûlée and sticky toffee pudding to complete our meal. Would definitely recommend and we’ll be back one evening for cocktails.
