The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Central Scotland

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.

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.

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.

Great Restaurant. The food was fantastic. The place itself was unique and fun to look around. The staff was nice and polite. They all worked as a team, so we were seated and served very quickly. Cilantto Lime Chicken is phenomenal. Overall, it was a great, well run place.

Superb dinner before a gig at the Perth Concert Hall next door. Food was excellent and all staff friendly. Had baked salmon, steak burger and lemon posset - absolutely delicious!

We popped into Poppies on our way home and were pleasantly surprised! We ordered a small and large Scottish breakfast, almond milk porridge, and some coffees — everything was absolutely delicious. Big compliments to the chef! The five female staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Our children treated themselves to the meringue and strawberry Swiss roll, and they loved it. Everything tasted super fresh and homemade. Unfortunately, we did notice one of the male staff members wiping his nose with his fingers before handing out cutlery, which was quite off-putting. My wife mentioned it to the manager, who took the complaint seriously and dealt with it professionally and efficiently. Despite that one issue, our overall experience was superb. Excellent food, warm service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Fantastic staff and food. Have been for both brunch and afternoon teas and couldn't fault it. Tasty cake selection too! One of the best cafés around Dundee.

The food was so good, especially the quarter pounder burger and onion rings

Ooh this chippy is ACE! Grandson had jumbo sausage & we had Haddock & Chips! Both brilliant! Service was so quick even though the place was full.

Pulled in as fancied a drink, and really glad we did! View of castle spectacular and the place itself was just so lovely! Had a coffee, hot chocolate and some cake, was so relaxed and welcoming, and loved the music. Could have literally sat in there for hours just looking out the window. If you are in the area please go in!

I can really recomend both the food and the accomodation at The Craigs Hotel in Callander. We had a lovely stay with a genuine indian dinner, dinner was excellent! friendly staff, in a well looked after hotell. Thankyou from us Lena Hadal and Tim Carter

What we appreciate about this gem of a cafe is the relaxing and friendly environment that ooozes in everything. The range of scone flavours must be unique and they are baked on site , and often not just plain, fruit and cheese! There is a wide range of tray bakes that cater for all tastes. The staff are excellent, kind and patient, and never rush those visiting. For regular clients there is a loyalty system , meaning if you buy nine hot drinks you receive the tenth one free. As well as being a cafe there are books, greeting cards, postcards, and gifts for sale.

Great breakfast, good choice (even for vegetarians/vegans) and friendly helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast - next time we might even try the breakfast cocktail …

We visited Polly’s pantry for afternoon tea on Mother’s Day. We’d seen them on tv and had been waiting for an occasion to book. It did not disappoint. The afternoon tea was absolutely delicious!!!!! Can’t recommend them highly enough and were very particular catering to our food allergies. The cake Bon Bon’s (not sure if this is the correct name) were a firm favourite! Can’t wait to book again soon. Lovely family run business everyone should support locally.

We were accommodated without a booking even on a busy Thursday night. We were offered the special deal but didn't really think there was a real saving. We had the haggis bonbons (ok but heavy); a delicious prawn dish; lovely albondigas; tasty, but small, smoked salmon and sour cream on breads;
