Charcoal grills and Lunan Bay tasting menus.

Dinner in Angus is mostly a family affair. In the village of Inverkeilor near Lunan Bay, a restaurant with rooms has served tasting menus of the Scottish larder since 1986. In Arbroath you can choose between home-made Greek dishes on the High Street, Neapolitan pizza from an open kitchen on Applegate, and breakfast, tapas and wine on Keptie Street. In Montrose, a clubhouse of 1901 by the golf links now cooks steaks and burgers over charcoal, with an Australian lean. Book ahead for the tasting menu, and for weekends anywhere.

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.

Andreou's Bistro.

Halfway between the abbey and the harbour on Arbroath's High Street, Andreou's brings a Greek taverna to the Angus coast. The tables wear blue gingham, and the cooking is the kind you would find at home in Greece. Start with mezze, dips, olives and warm pitta, then move on to grills, oven dishes or fish cooked simply with lemon. Gluten-free and vegan dishes are marked on the menu. It is a family-run place and dogs are welcome, with water bowls at the door. Book ahead for a table at the weekend.

Roo's Leap.

On Traill Drive, where Montrose gives way to the links and the dunes, the Albert Golf Club's clubhouse of 1901 has been Roo's Leap since 1984. It is a relaxed family restaurant with an Australian lean, looking out over the golf course. The kitchen cooks over charcoal in a Josper oven, with steaks and pork from Yorkes of Dundee and burgers pressed by hand from grass-fed beef. There's a tiki bar, the Kon-Tiki, attached. It fills up after a round or a walk on the beach, so book at the weekend.
