  • 2. Coach House Coffee Shop

    $

    With its over-the-top Scottishness, this lively restaurant and café serving Scottish classics fits perfectly into its surroundings. Long wooden tables, a large chimney with an open fire in the winter months, and a cabinet full of mouthwatering cakes baked by the owner create a cheerful atmosphere. Favorites include rich soups and stovies (large round rolls filled to overflowing), as well as the ubiquitous haggis, served in king-size quantities. It's worth asking for tea served in ceramic teapots representing everything from dining rooms to telephone boxes (bonus: the pots are for sale in the shop). The picturesque village of Luss attracts visitors because of its association with a favorite Scottish TV soap opera, Take the High Road, which ran from 1994 to 2003. Some cruises depart from its pier.

    $

    For over 20 years, restaurant namesake Effie baked her glorious cakes and scones here and her family continues the tradition, using her same recipes. The charming, traditional tearoom is hugely popular, with paintings and photographs emphasizing its long history, but what keeps the customers coming back is the superb baking, rich homemade soups, and creative breakfast menu.

  • 4. Restaurant Andrew Fairlie

    $$$$

    The late chef Andrew Fairlie established his restaurant in the Gleneagles Hotel in 2001, winning two Michelin stars for his elegant and restrained dishes, and setting in motion a food revolution that changed Scottish cooking. Fairlie's training was in classical French kitchens, and though his restaurant menus were firmly embedded in local Scottish produce, like pheasant and lobster, his style remained classic and detailed. Sadly, Fairlie died in 2019, but his commitment to training and supporting young chefs means that his team at the Gleneagles restaurant continues to maintain his legacy. The dégustation menu is £165 per person (wine pairing is an extra £95 or £150), but there are also three-course (£125) and four-course (£155) options available.

    Off A823, Auchterarder, Perth and Kinross, PH3 1NF, Scotland
    01764-694267

    Known For

    • Two Michelin stars
    • Cuisine marrying France and Scotland
    • A commitment to local produce
  • 5. The Birds and the Bees

    $$

    This lively pub in a converted whitewashed farmhouse is a little hard to find but worth the effort for the extensive menu---from burgers and steaks to jambalaya, curry, and haggis "draped" in a whisky-and-mustard sauce. This is all good home cooking without pretensions, and the servings are more than generous. Inside, the buzz of conversation bounces off dark-wood walls decorated with a fashionable collection of bric-a-brac. From the outside terrace you can look across fields to the hills beyond.
