It’s a cliché to declare a certain food or restaurant to be ‘the taste of Scotland’ but Howie’s really does meet that mark. It features locally and ethically sourced ingredients with Scottish beef, fish and lamb to choose from. There is a range of dishes that are all authentically Scottish but the menu also doesn’t shy away from including more diverse options, like curry and even vegetarian haggis (shocking stuff, I know!), so don’t worry there is something for everyone. This place has a cosy atmosphere with walls painted in warm tones and antlers on the wall to say “Hey, this is the best of Scotland so relax and eat your meal.”
