1. Allanwater Cafe
$ | |Run by the Bechelli family for four generations, this casual, light, and airy café in Bridge of Allan, just a couple of miles from Stirling, is a popular spot with locals. It is a well-tried Scottish combination of fish-and-chip restaurant and ice-cream parlor. Try the traditional "fish tea"—here confusingly called "catch of the day"—which consists of fish-and-chips served with tea or coffee and bread and butter. This place is time-honored, tasty, and a good value. There's a tantalizing selection of Italian ice cream too—if you have room.

2. Brea
$$ | |This unpretentious and popular place with wooden tables and chairs has a menu that celebrates Scottish food, though well-made burgers and steaks are also permanent features. The food offers some new takes on traditional favorites such as the rolled haddock with salmon, the Cullen skink soup, and haggis in various guises. Unusually, the desserts are house-made, and it shows. A range of Scottish beers and gins are available, too.

3. Deli Ecosse
$ | |Don't miss it: in one corner of the square, off Callander's main street, a narrow door opens into a high-ceilinged old church hall crowded with good things to eat there or take away. You can order tasty soups, house-made cakes, and plump sandwiches from the counter, or try the excellent coffee or a glass of wine. The arched wooden ceiling and wooden floors, together with the wooden tables and shelves of food, somehow create a very homey setting.

4. Pier Café
$ | |At the historic Stronachlachar Pier, this light-filled coffee shop has a satisfying lunch menu (burgers and sandwiches) and a deck with expansive views over Loch Katrine. Cakes, scones, and soups are made on the premises. You can also have breakfast and dinner (some nights); there's even a bar. Many people get off the boat from Trossachs Pier here before cycling or walking along the road around the loch. It's lovely and not too demanding.

5. The Taybank
$$$ | |This lovely spot overlooking the River Tay continues a tradition as a musical meeting place once owned by Scottish singer and composer Dougie MacLean. The restaurant places emphasis on Scottish fare, but there are burgers and pizza in the bar as well as an extremely popular beer garden right by the river. There's live music several nights a week, and the walls are lined with instruments that you're welcome to play. The restaurant also has simple but comfortable rooms to stay the night.
