The selected Scottish restaurants have been recognised for their exceptional food, service, and overall dining experience.
OpenTable also noted a rise in mid-week and early dinner dining between 4 and 6 pm over the past year.
Laure Bornet, vice-president of International Growth at OpenTable said: “We’re seeing a shift in UK dining habits. Brits are breaking away from traditional patterns by embracing earlier dinner times and mid-week dining, which is good news for restaurants as these times can be typically quieter.
“According to new research, these trends are set to continue into 2025 – whether it’s a Wednesday evening tasting menu or an early dinner with colleagues, diners are mixing it up and creating their own dining prime time.”
