The best restaurants in Stirling Central Scotland

We came in quite late last night for a last minute dinner. We have ordered take away before but never sat in. Quite a few people in so a good sign. Food was outstanding! Great portion sizes, taste was unbelievable. By far one of the best Indian meals we have had. Unfortunately for us, the service let us down massively. Our server was quite blunt, no pleasantries, seemed quite rude. We did observe him on other tables though and it didn't seem to be the case with those. Maybe they were regulars? Should never be the case anyway. If it wasn't for the service we would have left 5 stars.

Cafe with a fine deli... Had soup and sandwich... Wonderful fresh food... Great portion size and brill coffee... Been in a few times and can highly recommend... Family run and try their very best to pleade all the time.

Absolutamente increíble! El dueño nos agradó en la puerta, nos dio un tour, explicó todas las opciones de postres disponibles. Nos encantó ver la pasión! ¡El servicio al cliente 1000/10! Sin duda volveremos el año que viene.

On arriving we were surprised the fence was broken in the car park all lying on the ground? Attention to detail? At reception we could see outside terrace furniture all piled up and dead plants? Not very welcoming We ordered and the starters tasted lovely but lacked content? A slither of avocado and a few prawns? Not quite a seafood cocktail £13? Main course …. £35? 2 slices of beef? Sadly quite tough and lacking taste? Not special for the price? Overall it felt a “sloppy “ experience lacking care, attention to detail and we left feeling disappointed rather than having had “great time” with fab food? Sorry won’t be back and would no longer recommend to friends

Fantastic food: a novel, varied & delicious selection of freshly cooked dishes. Good vegetarian & fish options. Really friendly serving team. BYOB with no corkage charge. Highly recommended

Almuerzo perfecto! Rollo de tocino para el pequeño y haggis, queso y panini de chutney de cebolla dulce para mí. También té y un delicioso batido de frutas. No he comido algo tan sabroso en mucho tiempo. Todo está recién hecho y delicioso. Extremadamente amable y personal de hola.

What an absolute Gem of a place! We were staying for a week near by at Glen Finglas and had passed this place several times on our way out. It has quite a reputation for its excellent homemade cakes, coffee, and wholesome homemade food.Opening times(at this time of year) are restricted to Fri, Sat, Sun and Mon and so we only managed to visit once on the Fri before we left. It was very busy but it was a beautiful day and there was plenty of seating outside if required and several parking places also. We were warmly welcomed by the friendly owner who allocated us a table and the wait was explained to us. The wait was certainly worth it when our homemade soup with home baked ciabatta bread arrived with lovely coffee! Both were delicious. The cakes also looked yummy too but we didn't indulge! There were also healthy salads and vegan food available. While we were waiting I also made friends with the owner's delightful black and white gentle, friendly and affectionate border collie. Obviously this place is dog friendly. The cafe was spotlessly clean,( I'm very fussy ) warm welcoming and a little Quirky which we loved. The owner does a terrific job of making this small business work very well. It's a real Gem away from the busier cafe's in Callandar and we look forward to returning and sampling the cakes as well the next time we're staying in the area. we would both highly recommend a visit.

Came here with my partner and the Outlaws. Pizza was great, nicely cooked and the sugo was amazing, so flavourful and delicious. The pizza was a bit thinner and crispier than I personally consider Neapolitan, but that’s really splitting hairs because it was very tasty. I opted for pepperoni. The chips were astonishingly good. I don’t need a pizza AND chips, but I would order the chips again without hesitation. Service was personal and professional and the restaurant ambience and environment was a pleasure to sit in.

My husband and I stayed in the hotel and had a dinner included in our stay. The menu offered a decent range of choices, all using seasonal, local produce and with a Scottish twist. I chose the venison carpaccio starter and my husband chose the Cullen Skink Bon bons, both were quite delicious - a balance of tastes and textures. Our mains were Chicken Supreme and Pancetta wrapped cod - again these were nicely balanced plates, good sized portions (without being too much) and beautifully presented. We managed desserts in the shape of an affogato and a hot toddy crème brûlée and again were not disappointed. Our server, Grant, also managed the bar, which sticks a decent selection of drinks and wine. We enjoyed this first meal so much that we dined in house on our second night too. My husband particularly loved the steak pie (which was a full crust pie) and I was delighted by my handmade beetroot and goats cheese tortelloni. We believe this menu changes seasonally and we will be back to try it again later this year! I’d thoroughly recommend the Abbotsford restaurant.

Great place excellent service and lovely food would recommend cakes and scones are lovely good value for money lovely retro

Bonnie wee cafe based in Stirling city centre with cosy decor, homely feel and Wifi. Service was quick, friendly and cheerful ! Only popped in for takeaway coffee and cakes today (Bourbon Brownie and Cinnamon Bun) for the hike up Ben Mieke. But I will definitely be back for brunch and pancakes another day (because I saw someone eating the banana pancake stack and it looked incredible!) Both cakes were absolutely delicious; the cinnamon bun was particularly tasty! And trust me as a coffee snob, I can definitely approve the divine Oat Latte ! Worth the visit and will definitely return again for more sweet treats and coffee in future.

My mum and I recently decided to try out this cafe for lunch and we were very impressed with the tapas/small plate dishes, and with the cake. The food was fresh and delicious. Today I went back with my baby and found it to be a lovely cafe to breastfeed in as well - there is a small family area at the back which is lamp lit and affords some privacy. The staff are very friendly, and were particularly good when I was flustered with a hungry baby today. This is just what Stirling was needing - my new favourite cafe!

Happy faces all round as this cafe served snacks, cakes and drinks to a satisfied mix of customers. Saturday lunchtime crowd said everything and my order was spot on for what I needed. Highly recommended.

Toller Pub im Herzen von Sterling. So, wie ein Pub sein muss... Nette, freundliche Bedienung, Gute Bierauswahl... Live Musik ab 21 Uhr.... Was will man mehr...

Wonderful little bakery in Aberfoyle. We popped in to find some treats to take home after our holiday- ended up buying half the shop lol! Staff were delightful and very friendly and can be watched making the shop's goods. Lovely products from traditional Scottish gifts to biscuits, cakes, jams and chutneys. All very reasonably priced and packaged so beautifully we bought lots of items as gifts. We bought a Mars tray bake, lemon and elderberry and Tea cakes, shortbreads and numerous flavours of cookies. All were absolutely delicious and melt-in-the-mouth. An absolute must-visit if anywhere in the area. Will definitely be ordering more online, thank you!
