Brodie's

A visit to Brodie's could help  homesick Scots find succour by offering plenty of familiar food. The vivacious atmosphere in the restaurant is bolstered by their cheerful owners, Andy and Daavar who love serving an assortment of freshly prepared Caledonian cuisine.

The menu includes Loch Fyne mussels, scallops and Scotch broth, while the popular haggis and black puddings are supplied by McCaskie's of Wemyss Bay. The delicious chicken and black pudding stovies with dauphinoise potatoes might even make you forget grandma's cooking! Wholesome and bold choices might include popes eye steak baby boilers with roast vegetables and a choice of garlic butter, peppercorn or spicy tomato sauce, and monkfish and crayfish tails with bacon in a creamy garlic and white wine sauce.

Scottish bards may have worked overtime to pen poems about wonderful food and their world-beating whisky, but the team at Brodies's seem to enjoy their work by serving affordable food with interesting variations, and whisky.
