Braidwoods

I like my food and I enjoy taking the time to eat out once in a while. So the missus and I decided to try Braidwoods after her parents went and raved about it. On arrival a pleasent lady introduced herself, I think she was the owner, and gave us the option of any table. Canapes were brought out and they were the finest vol au vents stuffed with bacon and mushroom, so small and dainty, the taste was devine. The menu contained approximately twelve items for the entire four courses. Starters were the scallops served on a bed of peas and topped with parma ham, one word could describe this. Unfortunatelly I am not God, so I will have to try with my limited vocabulary, awesome . The way I judge anywhere I eat, is can I do any better myself and the answer for the canapes ands the starter was a resounding NO! The secon course for myself was the new potato and garlic soup. Oh me you could taste the new potato through everything, beautiful it was so good I forgot what the missus had, no she had the parmasan tart and we both loved it. The main was pork for the both of us and again heaven in you mouth. Pork fillet with apple topped with Arran blue cheese. Well after that we had to finish the 4 courses and both finished with the chocolatiest of chocolate tarts I have ever eaten. It was a wee bit expensive but the quality and the service. In fact I am going there again next week and I can't wait to see what treats they have for my pallet this time. Oh good thing is the wine list isn't too shabby and the house wine is about £4 a glass. I would recommend that everyone visit here at least once just to experience this type of cooking at least once.

We did it again 3 weeks ago and guess what it was just as good. the canapes were the same and I was so happy about that.
Everything was just magic and we are going back again, but I havent told the wife yet, whoo hoo.

For fine dining, it doesn’t get better than this in the west coast of Scotland. This was a lunch for two - seasonal fresh food, served with style, in a beautiful remote environment by really friendly staff at very reasonable prices for what you get. A well run restaurant by an excellent couple who clearly know their stuff and certainly deserve all the awards they have won. The menu changes regularly so we certainly will be visiting again, and again!

Lovely food in an intimate and rural location. Nice service, not over the top. Small and relaxed, it's a must visit for those close to Glasgow.

Well deserved Michellen star, fantastic food, charming atmosphere.

Amazing michelin star food for a very reasonable price. Have been many times and recommend

Fabulous food; very reasonable prices - compared to 'down south'. Prime example of how cooking can be better than Masterchef. Lovely homely environment, well polished from many years of perfecting their craft both in the kitchen and front of house. Will definitely visit again. Loved it.
