The best restaurants in Central Scotland

Thanks so much to Beth and the team for catering to my low-fodmap diet at TRNSMT this past weekend. They were very helpful in looking into my dietary requirements and seeing what they could come up with for me - saving me from being stuck with plain fries all weekend. The food was great despite the restrictions, and my girlfriend (who especially liked the curry sauce) and friends enjoyed theirs too! They didn't seem too busy either time I went, which was lucky for me not having to queue but a bit of a shame in that they definitely deserved to be busier.

Amazing as usual We live in the village, but travelled from Bristol after a trip away, and thought we would wait till we got home to Stanley to have a meal. As usual it didn’t disappoint, Julie and Kenny are amazing hosts, and the food was 5 star as we have come to expect. As the saying goes “There’s no place like home” thank you both

My husband and I came across this little bakery yesterday whilst visiting Burntisland. What a gem it is. We bought 2 sweet treats and OMG!!!! We will definitely be back to try your sourdough bread. Lovely lady served us too x

I’ve been to Dollar Park about a hundred times and never went into the Cafe, but after hearing about their cakes and tray bakes, it was added to the list to check out. And I’m glad I did, cause this place is a little gem! Great selection of all the usual suspects, from sandwiches to toasties, soup, hot rolls, full cooked breakfasts, pancakes, hot drinks and cakes. There’s also a specials board that changes regularly. For todays visit we tried some hot rolls (Bacon & Lorne Sausage) plus the Haggis, Cheese and Chilli Jam Toastie. All of which were top-class! Great quality ingredients and cooked perfectly! Finished it off by trying some of their home baking and WOW, great selection and all done to a very high standard. We went with the Bakewell Slice, Apple Turnover Cake, and a tub of Chocolate Ice-Cream. Would return for these alone, they were that good! VERY reasonably priced, too! If you haven’t checked this place out, then definitely give it a look. There’s also some tables outside if the weather is good enough, and the surrounding gardens opposite the Cafe are great for a short walk.

Great crab sandwiches and smoked salmon sandwiches. Lobster salad is also very good value for money and very tasty. Highly recommended

I live in oban and was stay ing at the station hotel in perth for 7 nights was here for a funeral and have tried other places when I seen this lovely restaurant

Great beer, very tasty burgers of good quality, great venue with indoor and outdoor seating. Friendly staff. Well worth a visit!

Best coffee we have had in a very long time, great sandwiches we had the salami was really tasty and filling! Well worth a visit!

Can't find a better bar in Callander lovely food and friendly staff and live music can't go wrong with this place and they allow dogs which is great

Me encantó el ambiente. Fue muy realista y silencioso. Perfecto para salir con amigos o estudiar. Muy buenas vibraciones con la música de fondo y las decoraciones. La camarera fue muy amable con nosotros y charló con nosotros un rato. Gente muy agradable. Sus pasteles son realmente buenos, son muy sabrosos y se nota que están hechos a mano. Las mesas son grandes y los asientos cómodos. Hay mucho espacio. Muy buena iluminación natural, con grandes ventanales. ¡Definitivamente regresaré! ¡Recomiendo encarecidamente este lugar!

Brilliant place. The couple who run it are really friendly and happy to discuss the food and offer suggestions. We had venison burger, cajun chicken wrap and shared chips. Portion sizes are big and the food is delicious. The chips are great - much better than those served at Talla Na Marra. I've never seen a wrap wrapped the way it was - more like a crepe, but there was lots of chicken on it as well as cheese, onions and salad. Really tasty. Venison burger was huge and melt in the mouth. Add 2 cans of pop and it came to less than £20 for a filling, hot, tasty meal. Couldn't recommend Island Bites more highly.

We were gifted an afternoon tea and we are so grateful! Ordering was easy and the lovely girl delivering our tray of goodies made it even more exciting as she seemed genuinely interested in whether it was a special occasion. We totally enjoyed every item on the generous platter and cannot pick out one item as the best - although the passion fruit chocolate with which we finished maybe stands out! Would certainly recommend.

Just stumbled across this Anderson's and had the Nice Buns for lunch. Seriously one of the best burgers I've ever had and amazing value for money! Friendly staff, great decor and amazing vegan/vegetarian food - will 100% be back to try more of the menu. What a place!

Best coffee in town and lovely meals to be had, amazing customer-friendly atmosphere and customer service, you feel relaxed and at home whilst enjoying a lovely hot beverage and great company, I recommend highly and shall be returning, thank you for such a warm welcome :)

Love this place great home made food. This is a favourite stop off when up this way. Fab cheese burgers and lots of cakes. Not only food, but garden centre, gifts & sheds. Will be back again soon.
