The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Scotland

My wife and I were in East Lothian for a family event. I found a hotel in Gullane on Tripadvisor. I asked my family for a restaurant recommendation. They did not reply in time. I looked on Tripadvisor and was intrigued by La Potiniere's intimate approach. I was also intrigued by its reviews and thought they were too good to be true, but thought if even if 50% of the reviews were genuine it must be pretty good. I booked and fortunately the night we were there La Potiniere was open and they had a table available for my wife and I. Well, the reviews were right and some! My wife and I have lived and worked around the world, and have been very fortunate to dine in some of the world's top restaurants for business and pleasure. We debated and concluded La Potiniere gets into our Top 10. The food was superb, but so was the intimate, personal, quiet, refined, professional environment and service. It was not pretentious, formal, stuffy nor up its own @r5e unlike many of the top restaurants. It was also excellent value for its quality. We also had the wine pairing to complete the experience. We only saw the Keith part of the Keith and Mary equation, as Mary was creating her magic in the kitchen, however, Keith had just a perfect approach to us as diners service-wise. He was passionate about his restaurant, its food etc and took the time to answer all our questions about how things were prepared, the ingredients used etc. We shall return! Thank you La Potiniere for a truly wonderful evening of food, wine and service.

Haggis traditionnel avec la sauce à la moutarde et whiskey ! 😍 Une belle façon de découvrir le haggis! C’était délicieux!

Delicious donuts and croissants! We also got the yogurt bowl which we loved. This place was cozy and the staff was great. Would recommend!

We were lucky enough to be able to book for New Year’s Eve lunch, and what a superb experience. The setting is magical, the food excellent and the staff excellent. Already looking forward to when I can return.

Delicious savoury and sweet food, freshly prepared, very friendly service. On a par with the best tea rooms anywhere in the world.

The best meal I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely outstanding. We went here whilst on holiday to celebrate my partners birthday. We wanted a special meal and wow did we get it. The restaurant is beautiful and intimate and right in the heart of Oban so very easy to walk to. Sitting at the chefs table watching him cook and hearing about how he sourced ingredients and about the local area was lovely. The food was indescribable it was simply stunning. We are still talking about the venison and scallops a week later. If you want something a little bit different and special this is it. We will definitely be back.

What a gem of a place! I stopped by for a take away coffee and cake and it was delicious! Also, lovely service. It is worth a visit:

Fabulous food, some of the best food we have eaten in a long time. Warm friendly welcome from the owners and relaxed dining in comfortable surroundings. Will definitely go again. Great value for the money.

Gran cafetería en Glasgow que ofrece cruasanes frescos y sabrosos y el café es tan encantador como el personal amable! 😌 No puedo esperar a volver!

Ordered online via Scoffable for my daughter and I. I ordered the Chicken Cheese Bacon & Hash Brown Burger. Omg this was amazing! The burger was sooo tasty and the chips were fab too! The estimated time was 1hr, but came in 20mins. I was caught short and forgot to tip my driver - apologies! Its a shame your own order website appears down and having to use Scoffable instead. Great local cafe. Thanks again.

Still our favourite place for lunch and dinner. Excellent value for delicious food, gorgeous wines and a well stocked bar, not to forget the Excellent service. Who could ask for more.

Best wee artisan Bakery ever so fresh n tasty you're choice eat in or take away deliscious

Cosy spot for a delicious breakfast! Great friendly service. We enjoyed the pancakes and the full Scottish breakfast. Great that it opened early even on a Sunday!

Excellent curry salmon and the lamb was really tasty. Friendly welcome with excellent menu, and Christmas menu- not great atmosphere - felt like the only table talking !

We stayed at the property for one night and were very happy with everything. The room (double bed) was perfect for our short stay and had everything we needed. The shower was excellent and the bed comfortable. We were upgraded to a Seaview room upon arrival and we really enjoyed the great views of the bay and Inverness. Andrea, our host, gave us a warm welcome and served us a wonderful (cooked) breakfast the next morning. Parking is available on the street right outside the door. So you really don't have to look long here. There is also a lounge with a refrigerator and a winter garden. However, we didn't use this during our stay. We will definitely be happy to sleep here again when planning a trip to Inverness.
