The best restaurants in Central Scotland

We popped in today for our first visit and will definitely be back. Nonnina's is in a quirky spot, through a bike workshop, but it is welcoming and cosy. We were fortunate that the pizza oven had warmed up - I had a pizza and my husband had a soup and panini combo. Both freshly made, they arrived piping hot and my pizza, in particular, was delicious. A perfect crispy base with just the right amount of toppings. The owner was very friendly and is obviously very good at what he does. Highly recommended.

What a great find - real coffee and service to match. We had cake and filled rolls ( freshly baked on site) ,bacon from the butcher next door. Proper ground coffee with a real taste to it. Judging from the the number of people eating , it is always busy. Congratulations to Alex on a well run café. We will return as often as possible.

Saw the shop on a tv programme so we decided to drive over from Edinburgh. We purchased a number of items and went home. Haggis tastes absolutely amazing and well deserved top awards. Mince/Scotch pies - very tasty and we enjoyed them immensely.Well done, we will be back.

Where else would we go for hubby’s 50th cake than our very favourite cake shop in Perth. His favourite cakes and dessert are millionaire shortbread and key lime pie ….so we had a tier of each ! So delish and loved by all our guests at the Party!

We’ve stayed just down the road from the Gaelic Centre four times now but this is the first time we’ve realised that the cafe is open outwith special events. We had excellent coffee and scones served by lovely friendly staff. The centre is very peaceful and has great views. We also really enjoyed seeing the paintings by local artist Dieter Finger - both the landscapes and the impressive portraits of some of the musicians who’ve played at the Lagavulin jazz festival in the past.

Really good value, tasty food, excellent pancakes and ice cream. A nice place to be. Will be returning for certain.

Great food. service okay. Fine if your looking for a casual dining experience and don't mind sitting really, really, really!!! close to the next table. Giving it 5 stars as the food is very tasty.

delicious, super healthy food. got a combo of 3 salads - lentils with roasted carrots, roasted potatoes and third was brussel sprouts with chick peas and a yogurt sauce. Will definitely return!

We were staying locally snd wanted to get a bit closer to some of the famous highland cows. We were taken on a walk though the farm firlds by the owner Jane to meet the different groups of cows including some really young ones. Jane was fascinating providing insight into the running of the farm and Highland Fold business, the farm ecosystem and the North Atlantic rainforest plus of course the star attraction highland cows themselves! We had a fabulous afternoon and would highly recommend the experience plus the barn cafe where we had coffee, delicious cake and ice cream!

My wife and I visited Donna’s Harbour Cafe, Shore Road, Perth for the first time on Wednesday the 30th of October 2024. We were greeted by the very friendly Donna (the owner) and we all enjoyed a bit of banter. There was so much choice of food that it was hard to decide what to order, but I chose a Frankfurter in a Bun with plenty of Fried Onions and my wife had the awesome homemade Macaroni and Cheese with a generous portion of chips. Our meals were well cooked and very tasty for a reasonable price and served with a lovely smile. This Cafe is very clean and the tables are nicely set out. The Harbour Cafe has a great atmosphere to dine in because it’s relaxed and informal with free parking available. My wife and I would highly recommend Donna’s Harbour Cafe. We will certainly return at some future date. Mike & Liz Dear (Aberdeen).

First time in Leven, wanted a bite to eat - came across Oscars. Lovely mug of coffee (nice and strong); followed by a bacon roll for me and a BLT for Himself. All absolutely delicious, and fresh - bread not just good, excellent!

Wife and I had a couple of really tasty dishes on Fri night in the rugby field pitch in Stockbridge. We must have raised the average age somewhat! Surrounded by 20 somethings, what a hoot to watch. Good food.

A really friendly place that shows what can be achieved when a community pulls together to save a pub at it’s heart. Great selection of Gins and really great music events.

A really amazing snack van, that's sells top quality food and its extremely cheap. Highly recommend!!

Found this little gem last year and were delighted to find they'd risen to the Covid challenge and were operating on a takeaway basis, so on our road north this autumn we were able to book our lunch in advance, and it was every bit as good as what we ate indoors there on our previous visit. Food absolutely fresh and full of flavour - the Mexican GF wrap absolutely zinging and the Ham and Cheese Foccacia utterly delicious. Beautifully presented in environmentally friendly packaging. And the cakes - well, let's not even think about the calorie count - they were fantastic, both the ones we enjoyed on our picnic and those we took for our family to share for socially distanced morning coffee the following day. If you are in Arbroath area, please do yourself a favour and eat at Wild Thyme - you will not regret it, especially if you are veggie, vegan or GF and fed up being palmed off with a single tasteless afterthought on a menu.
