The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Central Scotland

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.

Excel·lent Hotel, small, friendly keepers, in a pedestrian street. The parking is a bit away but free during the night. Good breakfast, but no dinner, with plenty of options not far away. Double room (it was set at twins, but they modified it to please us) with a reasonable bathroom.

Food was delicious, kids even had empty plates. Staff were great couldn’t be more helpful. Great atmosphere, fab music, we will defo be back

Stopped here for a drink here on a busy Saturday afternoon, plenty bar staff working so was served after a short wait. Most of the tables were taken, however found a spot where we could stand or we had a couple of free stools. What was immediately noticeable were empty glasses and surfaces very stick, something that could be easy to get done but possibly not enough staff in general. I've limited mobility so it's a hike to the downstairs toilet. I think that's where I found a big issue, this is a big city centre pub, with no hand dryer or paper towels, which is absolutely disgusting if anyone thinks that this is acceptable in 2024 going into 2025 then we are going back to the dark ages. This needs to to sorted or reported to the local authorities.

For the price it's pretty good, but it's true that the service was a bit rushed and inside the place they have two wasted and obstructed bars.

Went for breakfast only to find they're closed! I hope to return one day and give a five star review.

Lovely staff,Amazing food,stunning cocktails and great music

Popped in for a bite to eat. Spotted the langoustines on the menu and had to have them. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive.

Very disappointing experience: menu hard to understand, personnel had no idea on what to serve and how, and horribly overpriced.

the names changed CAFE BELLA firstly we should of walked straight a way the customers were looking glum. then we realised most were waiting a long time for meals. we sat down to order and found that the waiter told us every thing was off the menu except over priced fish and chips he hassled us to order quickly and ran around at high speed .after getting our food there was a hurry get our money and leave..he cleared the table whilst we were still drinking our teas and coffee. he was also very rude to other customers beacause they wanted to see a menu ..A WARNING TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS >>>>STAY AWAY>>>>

This is a delightful guesthouse for big group trips. Chloe and Lydia were very helpful and welcoming. We were up for a milestone birthday celebration and enjoyed a Full Scottish Breakfast before a memorable lunch for 16 of us. The surrounding area is beautiful and despite battling Storm Babet we enjoyed the unspoilt scenery. The In. Is a short drive away from the world famous Gleneagles Golf Resort and we were warmly welcomed by all the locals in the area. Highly Recommended.

The restaurant is one we have visited reasonably often as it is local, friendly and has a lovely view. The menu has enough choice and is tasty enough. However on our last visit we were given an arrival time of 7.45 pm but when we sat down we were almost immediately asked for our orders with no time to read the menu or the wine list. We really didn't linger over studying the menu but she obviously wanted to get the order into the kitchen as fast as she could - 3 times she pressed us and it did feel very hurried. Study the wine list? No time .... opt for the house white because there wasn't time to look for anything else. I do understand that kitchens need to finish up but then perhaps make the last booking a little earlier to accommodate this?

We've visited a few times now for both lunch and dinner and have really enjoyed the experience. The food is delicious, the restaurant itself is beautiful, the service has always been very good and the view is spectacular! The restaurant also has a little drinks terrace overlooking the river, which seems to be very popular in the summer. Will definitely be back!

Went for lunch but they were only serving coffee and cake, which we tried. Coffee was awful and cake was worse. Really disappointing as we had been looking forward to going there.

Ok I’ve read some shocking reviews (anything less than 4*)I’ve been coming Up here to work for years, the pies are nothing less than amazing. If you don’t like pie bobs - you don’t like pie it’s that simple. I’m not normally a pie person but their chicken curry and chilli nacho are a m a z i n g… Chilli sausage roll - wowCakes - wowCustomer service - 90% great, we all have bad days and perhaps one or twice I’ve had a neutral service but it’s not been bad or rude.
