The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Stirling Central Scotland

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

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.

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.

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?
