Hermanns Restaurant

Options are limited in the area around Stirling Castle and I can’t say I’ve ever heard of Austrian-​Scottish Fusion before, but this turned out to be a really lovely place!
It’s an elegant little space with great service. The a la carte menu looked really interesting, but they also have a set dinner menu that’s a great deal– around £18 for two courses and around £21 for three courses. The smoked salmon appetizer is incredible; I order it every chance I get in Scotland, but this one was particularly delicious. The Scottish sirloin was delicious as well, with a yummy mushroom sauce and side of vegetables and potatoes. For dessert we both had a hazelnut bramble tart; I’d never had bramble berries before but ended up really enjoying this dish, as well as the scoop of ice cream topping it. The wine list was great as well; we tried an Austrian zweigelt that paired fantastically with steak.
If you want a a nice upscale dinner in Stirling, this is an excellent choice.

The first place in Scotland that I had haggis, and I didn’t hate it! I think that deserves five stars on its own. Great staff and delicious food. Worth the trip!

Great food, charming atmosphere. Option of a set dinner or a la carte. We came here for the first night of our honeymoon because they had some good vegetarian options for my wife. We also came to find out that they had gluten free bread!
Overall, really great choice if you want to spend a little for a nice dinner. Plus it’s right by Stirling castle!

Loved dining here. Great service and friendly staff. Food was served fresh and every dish was delicious. A bit pricey, but for a nice evening out, Hermanns is a great place to stop.

Quiet restaurant, excellent service with very high quality food at a reasonable price. Mixture of dishes to suit most taste, including your kids. Location is right next to the Castle.

An unusual, but rather interesting mix of Austrian and Scottish dishes makes this a must-​visit restaurant in Stirling. Slightly more expensive compared to other local restaurants, but the great food and service more than make up for that. The beef/​steak dishes are fantastic.
They have menus online:

Hermans has been around for a long time. Run by a Austrian, there are usualy 2 types of snitzel on the menu.
Handy for the Tollbooth for a pre concert meal or just to enjoy for a full evening.
