Region of hearty eaters, Scotland seduces with excellent tables created by outstanding chefs who compete in refinement. The dishes are elaborated with exceptional products, and what to say about the whisky, the incredible smoked salmon, as well as the other fishes, or the mutton that is prepared with flavor and the sausages as the haggis (stuffed paunch) or the morcilla... Are exquisite specialties.

Each one of the restaurants that we recommend have been catalogued as the best of the region: Balmoral and Santini in Edinburg, The Marcliffe in Aberdeen, Inverlochy Castle in Fort Williams, Stobo Castle near Peeblesshire, Boath House next to Inverness, and the Hotel du Vin at One Devonshire Gardens in Glasgow.

In Boath House, the chef Charlie Lockley (4 AA Rosette, one of the three in Scotland with this award) uses vegetables and fruits harvested in the garden of that magnificent Georgian mansion in the country. Charlie’s passion is to read the old cook books to find and improve extraordinary recipes using the best products of the region. The result is a fabulous experience.

In the Hotel du Vin diner is served in an elegant ambience of that Victorian building, the wine cellar is spectacular and the whisky bar is very beautiful. The chef Paul Tamburrini squanders art in the preparation of incredible dishes, such as the artichoke soup with bits of foie gras or the rack of mutton chops with spongy mint sauce.

Inverlochy Castle is an invitation to feel like a King for one moment and have diner in one of the most beautiful castles in Scotland, enjoying the elaborated dishes that combine elegance, refinement and enhanced flavors with fabulous sauces.
