Scottish Arms reviews
5 Star Review by Stefan Di Benedetto
Drove down to Bowral from Sydney on Sunday and stopped for dinner at the Scottish Arms Hotel and it was just amazing. The decor was so cool, the staff were really friendly and the food was incredible. We ordered some garlic breads for an entree and schnitzels, curry, calamari and steak for the mains. Highly recommend this pub.
5 Star Review by Jordan Macri
Very friendly staff at the bistro. We were informed of a delay but they insured we had garlic bread early so we didnt starve. It was a very busy night, but they made a table specially for us so my pregnant wife could be comfortable. Food was delicious and sauces were to die for

What a great venue! Because it was out of town, I hadn't visited before but I'll definitely be visiting again. Access is easy for people of all mobility levels. The calm ambiance which contributes to easy conversation. Lots of parking. Great food. The food includes excellent vegan dishes. The chef reportedly was vegan until arriving in Australia and so provides wonderful dishes. Great outdoor area that is mostly under cover which was great today in the rain but would be wonderful in mid summer too. On my second visit I sat outside in the sunshine with my friend and dog. Staff supplied water for my puppy and then gave her many leftovers. Food was still fabulous. Highly recommended.

Picked here at random for dinner on an overnight stay in Bowral. Lucked out big time. Great food, cannot praise the staff enough for their help and enthusiasm, and a couple of beers new to me. I highly recommend as a great family tavern style venue. Thanks all.

A rainy Wednesday night treat. Peking Duck Spring Rolls (shared) Mains : 1/2 rack Pork Ribs & 300oz. Angus Rump steak. Food was delicious. Good atmosphere with the joint about 75% full. Friendly, courteous staff - nothing was any trouble to them. Beaut place

Great food and good variety but not too much, so you know if freshly cooked. Friendly atmosphere and nicely tucked away.
