Angus

Sourdough, tasting menus and farm teas.

Eating in Angus runs from farm tea rooms to a long-standing restaurant with rooms near Lunan Bay, where the tasting menus are drawn from the Scottish larder. Arbroath has a Greek bistro on the High Street, a Neapolitan pizzeria and a new deli serving tapas and wine. Montrose has a sourdough bakery, a gluten-free café where you can paint a pot, and charcoal steaks by the golf links. Out in the country there is a fruit farm near Carnoustie and there are farm cafés near Lintrathen. Book ahead for dinner at weekends, especially in summer.

The Wandering Bear Cafe.

By Loch of Lintrathen, in the rolling hills of the Angus glens, the Wandering Bear is a family business run by Lauren and Calum. What began as the Wee Bear has grown into a café, a farm shop and a lodge. The café sits in a round dining room under a spoked timber roof, with windows onto the countryside and a counter laden with home baking. There are coffees, soups and light lunches, and the farm shop stocks local produce for anyone staying in the glens. It makes a good stop on the way up Glen Isla.

From the magazine16 hours agoThe printed copy of Issue 10Issue 10Spring / Summer 2025

Susie Walker Munro, who grows tea on her family's farm in Angus, helped bring in a scientific test that can show whether tea sold as Scottish really was grown in Scotland.

Susie planted her first tea in 2007, and in 2016 she brought together a group of women growers as Tea Gardens of Scotland, with small plantations in abandoned walled gardens and farms across Perthshire, Kincardineshire, Angus and Fife. With Aberdeen University and the Scottish Tea Factory, the growers began using ionomics to test where a tea comes from, so tea passed off as made and grown in Scotland can now be caught out. As she puts it, 'If a customer is paying a higher price for rare Scottish tea they want to know it is genuinely Scottish tea in the tin'.

Gordon's Restaurant & Rooms.

Gordon and Maria Watson opened Gordon's on the main street of Inverkeilor, near Lunan Bay, in 1986. Today Maria looks after the dining room while their son Garry cooks alone in the kitchen. His food is modern and precise and built on the Scottish larder, in dishes such as local lamb with seasonal girolles, with fresh bread and butter to begin. The tasting menu fills an evening, and the restaurant has a place in the Michelin Guide. There are five bedrooms upstairs and in the courtyard, so dinner need not end with a drive. Book well ahead.

Lilybank Bakehouse.

Behind a dark red shopfront on Montrose High Street, Lilybank Bakehouse sells the bread that Stuart King first baked in his own kitchen in 2023. The micro-bakery grew so fast that in 2025 it moved into a High Street shop owned by ProMo, the community group bringing life back to the town centre. The sourdough has dark, blistered crusts and is made with local organic flour. There are croissants and trays of buns heaped with fruit and icing too. Everything goes quickly, so it pays to get there early.

East Scryne Fruit.

Just north of Carnoustie, East Scryne grows soft fruit, and every summer it opens a farm shop and tea room. The strawberries, raspberries and blueberries are picked in the fields each morning and go straight into the shop and the kitchen. The tea room is vintage in style and serves barista coffee, scones, fresh strawberry tarts and ice cream mixed to order with fresh fruit. Outside there is a play park with a bouncy pillow, a straw bale castle and miniature cashmere goats to feed. Take home a punnet and a jar of the farm's lemon curd.

Murton Farm & Nature Reserve.

On the eastern edge of Forfar, Murton is a hundred acres of farm and nature reserve, run by a charity that teaches children and adults about the land. Paths wind round a chain of lochs among reeds, birch and gorse, and donkeys come to the fence of the little visitor farm to say hello. The tearoom is much loved in its own right. Scones are baked every morning, and the soups and specials use local, seasonal produce. The reserve is free to wander, so it makes an easy half-day out with children.
