"This charming, unpretentious bistro by the river is a delightful find. The decor creates a lovely atmosphere. We enjoyed a variety of dishes including smoked salmon, fish and chips, scallops, and scampi linguini, as well as a filet of salmon with crispy skin served on a bed of mussel and pea risotto. Our group of four unanimously agreed that it was the best meal we had during our visit to the UK. The total bill, which included two glasses of wine, was £106. I highly recommend this place!"

We had an amazing meal at McBain's. Both the sea bass and salmon were cooked to perfection. This was the best dinner we enjoyed during our two-week trip.

The food was excellent, although the service was a bit slow. If you manage to get a table near the windows, you'll enjoy a beautiful view. I would definitely return!

Wonderful restaurant! We got there at 5:30 when it opened up and it was full by @6. The service was superb, but the food was even better! Presentation on par with the taste. One of our best dinners, if not the best! View menu

McBain's is the perfect spot for an amazing meal that is both fresh and locally sourced. The food is outstanding, and the staff is incredibly friendly! I strongly recommend trying the venison. Just make sure to make a reservation, as the restaurant has a cozy atmosphere and tends to fill up quickly.

We made an unplanned stop for a late lunch, and it exceeded our expectations! The staff were consistently friendly and professional, always attentive to our needs. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced. We visited during the phase 2 'circuit-breaker' of COVID-19, so we weren't able to sample their wine selection; however, their mocktails were fantastic! Six very satisfied diners—we will definitely be back!

"Oh, what a day we had at The White House for my auntie’s 88th! It was pure magic, right from the off. The team there couldn’t have been more welcoming, making us all feel right at home in the heart of Scotland. Now, let’s gab about the food it was out of this world! We started with gluten free fish n chips, and let me tell you, it was as good as any chippy by the sea – crispy, golden, and just packed with flavor. The venison steak and beef short rib? Cooked just how you’d want them, tender and full of taste. The gluten free burgers were a hit too, so juicy and well seasoned. For pudding, we had these scoops of ice cream, smooth as you like, and an apple crunch cheesecake that was simply to die for. But it was our server, Anastasia, who really made our day. She was a wee star – always there with a smile, quick with a recommendation, and knew her menu inside out. I barely noticed our water bottle was empty, and whoosh, there she was with a full one. That’s service for you! The atmosphere in The White House was just as warm and inviting as you’d hope for. It felt like sitting in a cosy wee pub in the Highlands, with all the charm and friendliness you’d expect. So, if you’re ever in the mood for a meal that’s as satisfying as a wee dram on a cold night, head to The White House. It’s not just eating; it’s a proper Scottish experience, full of heart and soul"
