Fishers
— Our review: What a meal. I couldn’t fault the service, the food or the price. This is quality Scottish seafood cooked without fuss but full of flavour. There’s the classic 'Moules et Frites' in a white cream sauce, I chose Sea Bass stuff with ginger, garlic and corriander also sampled, the Tuna crusted with cumin, it was presented with a sour cream sauce didn’t sound great but tasted sensational.
Tip: Book a table at the bar, its more atmospheric however if you’re with kids perhaps the larger tables around the corner.

Daniel’s Bistro
— Close to the harbour foreshore I'd book a table for lunch after a visit to The Royal Yacht Britannia, which is a great visit. You'll be feeling like something more refined.
