The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Central Scotland

Outstanding food and service . This is our second visit to this restaurant and the new manager has made a massive difference to the ambiance of the restaurant. The food was exceptional , the paired wines were exquisite and the service impeccable. Highly recommend this restaurant.

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.

A fun restaurant with interesting decor and menu themed around thinking and philosophy. We were able to get a table pretty quickly (only a 5 minute wait) despite it being a busy evening. The food was delicious and had lovely service too.

We were passing through after arriving on the morning ferry in Aberdeen and looked up good places for breakfast in Dundee. We were so pleased to have found this place! We had the Scottish breakfast, which was great, really well cooked, accompanied by fruit juice and good coffee and we ate sitting in the sun outside. A perfect break in our journey.

Called in for drinks at Lunchtime and decided to go back for an early dinner. Sat outside as we had our dogs with us. Mike came to take our order. He brought out heated cushions as it was getting a bit cool. One of the girls fetched water for our dogs. The food was fabulous, home made Pizza and a Chicken burger with fries. The pups shared the Pizza crust, they enjoyed it too.! Super friendly staff, good location. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a flat white. Lovely coffee and service. Great views.

Always stop here when in Oban. Bit pricey... Fish haven't got far to travel off the boat. Otherwise 5 star

This is a cautionary tale rather than a review! I note that the Castle Stalker View Cafe is shown at being less than 5 miles from Kingairloch estate. That's technically correct, but those 5 miles are by sea: by road it's nearer 25 miles, as one has to drive up to Ardgour, cross the Corran Ferry, and then drive down the other side of Loch Linnhe to Appin.

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

Have been to this cafe numerous times now, because of the delicious meals and fabulous welcoming staff. Not that it’s relevant but we choose to go here because of the food and staff, and not because of what The Mustard Seed is about, but I love the place, but we took my mum/nan today for her 91St Birthday. We reserved a table and at the end of our meals the staff came out and sang happy birthday and presented her with a muffin with a candle. It made my mum cry. What an absolutely beautiful thing to do. So thank you to everyone there who made this a lovely and thoughtful occasion.

What a wonderful experience the service was spot on our evening server did an amazing job , the tasting menu was top notch especially the Forrest tea . Room wa lovely and we were treating lovely this was our 10year anniversary sill definitely be going back if only for the breakfast granola which is by far one of the best ones I’ve tasted just wish I asked for the recipe aswell as would love to remake this at home .

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.

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

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;
