The Riverside - Stirling

Wow. Simply wow. My wife, daughter (16), and I spent 7 wonderful days in Scotland. Our last couple days were in and around Dunblane. The Riverside is a gem amongst restaurants. The setting beautiful alongside the river. The decor is modern yet somehow tradition. The menu is amazing (my vegetarian wife greatly appreciated the meatless options). The proprietor clearly has a knack for creating positive culinary and entertaining experiences. We saw happy dogs, a 64 year old’s birthday, and young children being allowed to be kids. Mhairi was a wonderful and engaging waitperson. All and all a 10:10.

Excellent Sunday Lunch cooked to perfection with fresh local ingredients. Excellent. Staff were knowledgeable and attentive which made the experience.

As soon as we walked in the door, we felt very welcome. All the staff were friendly and very efficient. We had the haggis, scallops, and a calamari special to start, followed by the haddock and chips, lamb rump and mac and cheese. Everything was delicious.

Really good menu and wine list. Haggis starter was really good as was the ribeye. Fast friendly service even though It was quite busy. would recommend.

Had a fantastic meal and drinks last night , food was amazing can recommend the scallops and the Mediterranean bowl . The staff was amazing too they couldn’t do enough for you .
