The Scottish Cafe and Restaurant
The Mound, Edinburgh
Alex R had a merry old time at a Christmas party at this restaurant in the National Gallery Complex, where "the food was quite excellent and looked great". Their three-course set lunch is £26.95 including coffee, and locally sourced.
The Grill on the Corner
21-25 Bothwell Street, Glasgow
Marc F recommends here for "fussy eaters" - "the waiter couldn't have been more accommodating and kind". So if you have dietary requirements, then head here for their 3 course Christmas lunch for £24.95 featuring turkey with all the trimmings.
New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North, New Town, Edinburgh
The Christmas menu at this all-American BYOB diner heaves into harbour at just £18.95 for three courses. The starter of "lovely and crispy" deep-fried potato skins with "tangy" chili mayo is a winner for Claire L, especially followed by the "huge" sirloin steak, "cooked to perfection".
The Curler's Rest
256-260 Byres Road, Glasgow
Raving about the Christmas menu, Joe H says "at the bargain price of £19 for two courses at Christmas, I can honestly say that I haven't had any better for this price". Three courses for £22 and vegetarians are happily accommodated!
David Bann
56-58 St Mary's Street, Old Town, Edinburgh
Julie G aims to pick a favourite for each time of year at this seasonal vegetarian restaurant, and of her winter choices, the "Jerusalem artichoke and celeriac puff pastry" forms part of the set menu for Christmas, with two courses at £16.50 or £21.50 for three.
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street, Glasgow
If you're looking for "a restaurant that tries a little harder and manages to be both relaxed and informal while turning out excellent fare" then Andrew M tips you head here. Christmas lunch comes in at £18.50 per person with a delicious sounding bacon chop as an option for main!
L'Escargot Blanc
17 Queensferry Street, West End, Edinburgh
When sampling this French spot's three-course festive set menu at £19.95, Nadya S was delighted with her "huge, plump and tasty" mussels and particularly impressed with the chocolate tart for dessert: "Very French, very rich and very dark. Yum".
The Hanoi Bike Shop
8 Ruthven Lane, Glasgow
With a 3-course menu for £22.95 you can try something a little exotic this year! They make their own tofu so why not try the Bike Shop tofu, spinach and Brussels sprouts in chili and lemongrass?
La Garrigue
31 Jeffrey Street, Old Town, Edinburgh
A "thoroughly great restaurant that I would definitely recommend," declares Nic G. The "top quality" food comes at "affordable prices," too with a £15.50 three-course set menu for groups (8 to 50 people).
The Sisters
36 Kelvingrove Street, Glasgow
If you're looking for a real Christmas treat, dinner here is £36 for a four-course meal. Alison M sums up the experience by saying "a lovely intimate atmosphere with a great selection on the menu, and food cooked to its best".
