1830 Eatery in Inverclyde

We had a Çilbir and buttermilk chicken. I am more of a Shakshuka than Çilbir when it comes to poached eggs but I decided to give it a try. Definitely a good choice: Perfectly cooked and presented, they were delicious, as was the coffee. I sampled the chicken, it too was extremely good. It's a bit far from Edinburgh where I live, but anyone passing in the area will enjoy the friendly place and quality of food. They wouldn't be out of place in any more fashionable city or location. A great little find. I'll try the Shakshuka next time I am in the area.

Amazing food, coffee, and service. Highly recommend!

We had just Coffee, unfortunately was very busy, on Saturday noon is hard to find a table, when we did, unfortunately was dirty, I guess not enough staff. Coffee was good though 👌

Been wanting to try for a while and decided to go today as I had a hospital appointment! Wow we all had hot rolls and sourdough with delicious coffees. Rolls made to perfection and my friend also had a delicious empire biscuit! Will definitely come back here! So nice!

Called in for brunch after a walk up to the French Memorial and back. Excellent food and dog friendly. Nice choice of food. The mushroom pancakes were particularly delicious. We would recommend a visit. No table reservations available and we got the last table which we were very relieved at. It isn’t licensed but our hot drinks were very nice.

First time dinner. The food was lovely. Staff attentive. Definitely be back

We were visiting Scotland for the Piping Live week in Glasgow - went for brunch here - absolutely buzzing wee cafe - great staff and fabulous food - definitely worth a visit

Very family friendly place, great service and the most delicious food in and around Glasgow area. Enjoyed the variety of food and the freshness of our ordered meal. Definitely coming back another time!!!

Something truly different, you won’t find another menu like this locally, with unique dishes and a wide and varied selection. Great friendly service, nice buzz about the place. Reasonable lunch portions and the food is outstanding. Recommended for breakfast / brunch / lunch.

Great food and coffee wee gem 💎 of a place 👌

Great Full Scottish breakfast and friendly service

Fantastic brunch place - great value - great food - and great service.

Can't recommend this place enough. First class food and service.

A great spot for brunch. We had delicious pancakes, freshly made and tried the shakshouka. We'll be back!

Quality food and perfectly cooked. Service excellent. All 3 served together. Small area but well spaced.prices reflect the quality of the food.

Love the food here. Absolutely delicious

We found this fantastic eatery eighteen months ago and have been in every week since. Sometimes twice a week. The food is always exceptional and on each visit we are asked how our food and drinks are. We have never been disappointed. We take family and friends there. Recommend it to everyone. Buy vouchers as gifts for friends and family to try. All of whom love it as much as we do. I've yet to meet anyone who doesn't rave about this eatery.

Visited for lunch yesterday. Good food and excellent service - well worth a visit.

I'd been looking forward to going to this establishment with a family member, not least because of the building's long history in Gourock and the rave reviews I'd heard from friends. The experience, however, was a letdown. To drink, I ordered an extra hot latte. When it arrived, it was tepid and bordering on cold. I asked to have it warmed up, and in response got the excuse which irritates me more than any other in a hospitality setting: "We can't, if we do that, we'll scorch the milk!" These words came from none other than the owner of the establishment. It seems that, in her eyes, what the customer actually wants counts for nothing. She further tried to evade responsibility for making the coffee as asked for by saying that the barista was at risk of scalding her hand if she made the milk any hotter. Health and safety obviously is paramount, but that's the first time in two decades or so I've heard that excuse for not being able to provide extra hot coffee. At the very least, the coffee should have arrived at the table a lot warmer than what it did. The owner reluctantly had the barista warm the coffee, but when it arrived back at the table, I couldn't make out any difference. The food I ordered, a bacon and potato scone roll, was barely any better. The bacon was a tad on the greasy side, and the inside of the roll came slathered in butter. (Okay, the onus was on me to request a dry roll, but the serving staff should also take the time to ask customers how they prefer their roll.) My dining partner was slightly more complementary about her breakfast, but only just. She ordered an Americano, precisely to avoid the problem that I encountered with my latte, and said that it was an acceptable temperature and tasted okay. She wasn't quite so enthusiastic about her scrambled eggs, however, commenting that they were a bit rubbery and lacking in texture. All of the above might not have been quite so galling if it hadn't been for the price -- effectively 18 pounds for two cups of coffee, a roll, and scrambled eggs on sourdough toast. It's rather unfortunate that our experience was so negative. This eatery is in a prime location, and the building itself steeped in local history, having been around for nearly 200 years. With some tweaks to the coffee and food, as well as a willingness to listen to customers, it has the potential to become one of the area's top eateries.

Lovely little café with a good atmosphere. I stopped for somewhere to relax and read a book for a bit by myself, ordered a latte & rocky road both of which were delicious! Everything was reasonably priced & the lady was very friendly. I'd definitely come here again!

Tried for first time today. Best veggie breakfast I've had!

Exceptional and unexpected. I was intending to turn around the car when I pulled into their small car park and then saw the cafe and thought I’d give it a go. Decor simple but upmarket, warm welcome and exceptional quality food Light meals with an Eastern European slant. I will make a great effort to come back here.

Our go-to cafe in Gourock. Everything on the menu is fantastic and just consistently good. Friendly staff too

Warm, friendly and cozy always welcoming. Great food, coffee and cakes. We came as customers and stayed to make friends with staff Luda Marina Oxana and Galina who make us feel special every vist with time for a chat and sharing news. Highly recommended. Tasteful seasonal decor

Always greeted with the warmest of welcomes. Food and coffee are consistently excellent and of superb quality . Service is exceptionally attentive and friendly. Tastefully decorated.

Went in for late lunch,3pm, told kitchen was closed! Will not be back. Must be making too much money !

A really rather good brunch and so unbelievably friendly.

The lady in charge, Liuda, is obviously proud of her cuisine which consists of breakfasts, brunches, teas, coffees, cakes and scones. She has actually met celebrity chefs like John Torode, The Hairy Bikers and Mary Berry and has tweaked her scone recipe which taste fantastic! The standards are high everything is cooked to order. Will be back!

Lovely service, good coffee and the lightest buttermilk pancakes with bacon and maple.

Been meaning to visit since it opened and finally got around to it today. It did not disappoint! Menu isn't extensive however there is still plenty to choose from. I had the avocado toast which was more than I could have hoped for. Delicious and very filling....so much so I didn't have room for one of their fabulous looking cakes. Lovely surroundings and staff. Highly recommend a visit, I'll definitely be back.

My husband and I had lunch here today, the food was lovely, to follow the coffee and cakes were delicious. The staff are friendly and helpful. We would highly recommend making a visit to this establishment.

Different foods!! But very tasty good service!! Brilliant

Had brunch there recently, absolutely excellent. Great little place, efficient service, great food. Will definitely be back

Beautiful little eatery by the seaside brilliant staff and amazing food 😍

Lovely place and thoroughly enjoyed avocado toast.

Second time we have been here, first time was wonderful and couldn't wait to go again, unfortunately it's taken so long to go back! Really good coffee, fresh and delicious full breakfast, amazing pancakes!! Topped off with such a lovely hostess. If you get the chance you must go!!

Brunch for 5, all of whom enjoyed their meal. Last time service was not so good, this time it was perfect. Lovely place for coffee and a natter.

Fantastic food and lovely people!

Food was delicious. Lovely fresh tomatoes avocado and salad. Beautifully presented . I would definitely recommend this place STAFF PLEASANT AND ATTENTI VE. WILL RETURN.

First time today, very nice interior, 2 very good quality latte's. One excellent full Scottish breakfast and one pancakes with yogurt and berries. Excellent service, very highly recommend!! Can't wait to go again!!

What can i say about this cafe / restaurant?! I saw a facebook post of a big breakfast plate £9.95 it looked amazing, thought let's try it once if its no good nothing much lost. Guys, Girls and all my friends you need to get this place saved in Google maps best càfe food ever!!! Seriously Great clean presentation all freshly cooked no grease, eggs as you like all with a smile, sweet espresso, water with your meal again with a smile. Owner out front happy and proud but humble enough to bring her wee chef out to receive the well earned gratitude of this hungry chef on his day off. Menu is simple and short but plenty variety and all fairly priced, what you receive is worth more. If you want a greasy spoon look elsewhere this place is a gem and real diamond that did that unicorn of things by meeting and exceeding my expectations.

A great new find in the heart of Gourock. We arrived at lunchtime. It was packed. I enjoyed the sweet peaches dish with rosemary and ricotta. The smoked salmon and eggs was fantastic too. The customer service was great too- very attentive waitstaff. We will return to this restaurant! We returned to have the pancakes. They were fantastic!

Lovely place, fantastic food, amazing people! We will be back!

Delicious coffee, delicious food and lovely lady. Couldn’t ask for more from a cafe 😊

Wow! An incredible brunch here. Found on route back home and so glad we stopped here. I had the Potato hash which was unbelievably tasty and great portion size too, Mum had the full breakfast which had lovely bacon and potato cake too. The staff were so friendly and welcoming also and they played happy music which is always a bonus! Would highly recommend if passing by. Thanks again!

Nice coffee and tea. Good service.

Really great coffee and food! Friendly staff who seem to really enjoy their jobs. The pancakes are the best I’ve tasted! Cant wait to go back.

Came for lunch one Sunday with my mum and toddler. Cafe was busy and obviously a popular lunch spot. Our food was lovely and we followed up with scones, that did not disappoint! Would recommend.

Most delicious 😋 brunch. Friendly staff. Will definitely return.

Excellent food. Original ideas which are so well executed. The atmosphere is warm and invìting and the young lady serving us was charming.

Went for brunch today for the first time at 1830 with my sister. We were blown away with the quality of the food. The staff were also very friendly and accommodating. Great first impressions and we will definitely be back!

Lovely, welcoming staff and delicious food and drinks.

I'd heard that the 1830 was good and a breakfast visit confirmed this. The potato has was particularly impressive and the service was friendly. Yes, you'll pay a wee bit more than your average café fry-up. But it's definitely worth it.

The food was lovely. However, there was a bit of wait.

Delicious food alway well presented, lovley girls front line.

Great little place for breakfast or lunch, I can personally recommend the potato hash. They also have daily specials which are usually very good. A very different menu from the local offerings, so it stands out from it competition. The staff are also very helpful and polite, weve been a few times and never had a bad experience, we've even dragged others along. Cant recommended this place enough, well worth a visit.

After being recommended to us we went for breakfast. We're definitely not disappointed, both had scrambled eggs with salmon on BUTTERED sourdough toast. The plates were warmed too. Delightful place, friendly polite smiley staff. We will be back SOON

Вкусно,уютно,чисто, Рекомендую!)

A great new find in the heart of Gourock. We arrived at lunchtime. It was packed. I enjoyed the sweet peaches dish with rosemary and ricotta. The smoked salmon and eggs was fantastic too. The customer service was great too- very attentive waitstaff. We will return to this restaurant!

Lovely place great coffee food and excellent service 🥰

Full breakfast was great, will be back for another.

Food was delicious. Staff were so lovely. I would definitely recommend brunch and will go back again.

Tasty food, friendly staff, I will be back.x

Staff very friendly and food was lovely and fresh. Would recommend a visit.

Popped in yesterday for some fantastic carrot cake and coffee from Stefan. Lovely chap who insisted I try the carrot cake. Will definitely be back for another slice.

What I had was OK but very limited menu

Stefan very welcoming and friendly. Recommended the local water and baked goods. Will become a regular here to sample his next recommendation which is a cup of tea.

Nice lunch consisting of a bacon roll and great tasting soup.

This place is great! Stephen recommended a glass of water to go with my black coffee and a lovely toast and jam dish. The staff are great and the food looks brilliant. Will be back soon.

First time here. Cake and coffee were fab 👌

Nipped in for a coffee earlier today, great service by Stefan, he also suggested I had a piece of Carrot Cake that was really good.

Stopped by for a quick coffee this morning, I was very impressed with the establishment on my arrival. Barista (Stefan) recommended the black americano which was a fantastic choice! I will return

The grilled peaches are awesome. The coffee is the best in Inverclyde.

First time here - lovely place, friendly staff and the best vegetarian breakfast - delicious and well presented. Would highly recommend.

First visit. Friendly service. Great hot chocolate. Cosy little place.

Nice place food was very good Although you are restricted if you don't like Sourdough

Really delicious food and big, generous portions. Very friendly service.

What a wonderful place is 1830 Eatery. The name comes from the date of construction for the building apparently: The staff could not have been more helpful and friendly and full marks to Stefan and Olivia for a polite, efficient and friendly service during our...

The food was tasty , service attentive and friendly . I found the coffee disappointing, a little bland.

went there today for spot of lunch,both of us had brunch stack.it was lovely the produce was first class,staff were nice to.not the cheapest but you only get what you pay for and we will be back. thanks 1830

Went here for lunch today and it was well tasty! I had the Brunch Stack and my partner had the vegetarian Avocado, Poached Eggs on Toast. Arrived at 12:50 and had to wait for a table but when we left there were a few tables spare, so midday must have been their peak. Would definitely recommend.

Club sandwich 🥪 was great, very filling. Highly recommended.

I enjoyed my brunch. I had the potato hash and it was delicious, there was so much flavour… probably the best I have tried since coming back! After wards I had the scone which came with a perfect amount of clotted cream and jam, fabulous!...

First time I haven't winced at the bitterness levels of a cappuccino. So, that was a reassuring start. I had scrambled egg on sourdough toast, hubby had the brunch stack. They both arrived together, and both were piping hot, which isn't always the case in most eateries. Mine was perfect, all cooked well, lovely little garnish of chives, bread crispy and fresh. I hardly ever clear a plate, but this time, I did. Staff really polite and friendly, service with a smile. This little place has the atmosphere of a friendly, family run cafe, with the quality of an expensive restaurant. Highly recommended, well done 1830.

Recently opened in what was the Albert Hotel ,1830 Eatery is already establishing itself as a great meeting place for breakfast ,brunch or coffee & cake . On our 1st visit we just had tea & scones -great selection of teas and the fruit or...

Newly opened, decided to try for early week brunch. Place very busy, had to wait outside for around 10 mins to get a table. Service quite erratic, not sure if down to staff shortage. Menus given, no drink order taken. Two tables that arrived after...

Lovely light lunch, avocado and pomegranate salad. Beautiful presentation. Nice Staff. We didn't try the cakes but they certainly looked good.

Trying the newest eatery in town. We had a tasty lunch - potato hash and chicken burger - both were delish!

Absolutely fantastic food, great service and easy to park close by! We can particularly recommend the Club Sandwich and the Brunch Stack. Great quality coffee too and the cakes are wonderful.

Just tried this new eatery for the first time and was seriously impressed. Had breakfast and everything was outstanding. Price,fooddrink and service 5 star.

Brilliant new cafe in Gourock. We ate breakfast and had hot drinks and all were exceptional. Very friendly staff as well. Dog friendly also.

1st time visit, and definitely wouldn't be the last! Lovely relaxing atmosphere P.S. they're dog friendly! Amazing coffee and delicious food, had the breakfast stack and club sandwich. Generous portion size, had to take some cakes home as we were too full! Lovely homemade cakes...

Excellent service and food was really tasty , we had the chicken club and breakfast stack which were both fantastic and great value for the portion. Coffee was delicious also. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

Lovely food, plated perfectly complimented by very friendly staff! Will definitely be back.

Great lunch, great coffee, great cake options and fantastic service…love this new addition to Gourock- well worth the trip!

The place was full the whole time we were in and I am sure the service will get better, which is why I have given the place a 5 star. The food was absolutely delicious and once any teething problems are ironed out this place...

I loved the food . The perfect amount . It was delicious 😋

Had lunch here today with my husband. The food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. Great to see a new business in town. Staff were helpful, cheery and efficient. We’ll be back very soon!
