Cafe at Canada Wood in Falkirk

Stopped in for lunch with mum. Not been in a while and it was better than I remembered. I had the goats cheese salad and my mum had the pate and focaccia. We both thoroughly enjoyed the food.

Lovely wee gem right in the countryside. Tasty lunch before heading back up the road

Really nice inside. Colours on the drive there and back lovely during Autumn. Service great. Good good, amazing cakes. Ordered breakfast roll with decafe tea. Very nice, gobbled it up before remembering to take pictures. Booking advised. On this particular Sunday, opened at 0930 Ground floor and disabled access. Next visit when it snows.

Love it here. We sat outside after a long walk along the trails. Just coffee and soft drinks but I have had the food and it's gorgeous

Myself and 2 friends visited here today we hadn’t booked as we were just visiting the area but would like to thank the super friendly member who managed to get us a table it was so appreciated . We had lovely soup and toasted sandwiches the venue it’s self was beautiful with love atmosphere and fab decor so welcoming on such a blustery autumn day. Thank-you again

Visited many times & I've never been disappointed . Friendly place for digs and kids! Good menu 👌

Lovely place. I go there after walk in the lovely surroundings. Gorgeous food and good coffee.

Hidden Gem. If you want to eat inside, book a table. It's dog friendly. The breakfast was absolutely awesome; recommend Turkish eggs and French toast with bacon. The produce is really high quality - the bacon was next level. The team are brilliant. Will be coming back here for breakfast and dog walks in the future!

Thoroughly enjoyed my pig's cheek croque madame. My wife had a soup and sandwich deal and scoffed the lot, which says everything about the quality of the food.

Good food, slightly expensive especially for lunches. Give it a try. GF menu.

Just had coffee but I'll be back.

A hidden gem for some lunch. Very well presented and tasty food along with some exceptional service.

Really good place, service good, friendly and welcoming. Food good too.

Food was really good. However it's a bit expensive. Enjoyed taking in the cabin interior and views from outside. Great place to sit with a cuppa and a catch up with a pal. Bonus of the place is they are Dog friendly.

Lovely brunch Friendly attentive staff

Rural venue with fantastic views and attentive friendly staff. Served by Gill/Jill on this occasion for breakfast. Lovely mains and choice of cakes. I have enjoyed breakfast and lunch here. It has a dog friendly eating area outside.

Fanstastic cafe near nice walks and bike trails. Staff exceptionally friendly and helpful and food great !

Fantastic food, warm and friendly staff. Update... Visited this evening for a 7 course taster menu. Wow! Simply outstanding. What a gem of a place. Everyone involved at Canada Wood should be proud of themselves. A great experience.

Quite possibly the greatest empire biscuit in the world.

One of our favourites for breakfast, but on Sunday it was disappointing. We always have the same, scrambled eggs and bacon. On Sunday the eggs were not seasoned and not creamy as usual and we were served 2 small pieces of bacon, whereas we are usually served three or indeed 4 pieces last time. The food was delivered very quickly after ordering which was unusual which made us think that the food was not cooked to order. Will give Canada Wood another chance but if it doesn't improve then unfortunately we will only have coffee.

Visited for lunch, friendly, warm welcome. Perfect view out the window. Food was excellent. Service perfect. Highly recommend.

If you like barking dogs, this is the place for you. I think, because of the "pet friendly" - classification, it attracts especially dog owners. I am not even kidding, every table on the outdoor sitting area had a dog (some even multiple) and as you can expect, they didn't get along well. The experience was unpleasant, but the food and the drinks were good. Price are okay as well.

Lunch with friends . We all had Ceaser Chicken Sandwich which was lovely , I asked for a side portion of chips ,has to be the smallest portion I've ever had anywhere. Coffee was lovely. There was an issue with their WiFi which was holding up a few people but not the staff's fault . We also came last week for breakfast which was lovely only fault was baked beans with my full breakfast ,they had onions through them which I didn't enjoy , my friends had Hebridean eggs benedict which they said was beautiful. Would 100% recommend this place and lovely seating areas outside fir dog walkers .

Such lovely staff, great atmosphere and beautiful surroundings

Fantastic place for a well earned snack or in our case a meal, after a long walk in the Canada Woods - highly recommend

Lovely staff and location but the food was massively overpriced for what you got. Mac and cheese at £14.50 for a medium sized ramekin of mac and cheese which tasted mostly just of creamy and a sprinkling of skinny fries. Kids sandwich is half a sandwich (2pieces of bread with filling, of which you get two bits). I know prices are higher throughout all industries, but throw a bit of salad on the plate to bulk things out before you charge £15 for something that costs pennies to produce. Would definitely not eat there again despite the lovely location, free parking and nice staff. Just not worth the money. £2.75 for a can of Fanta? Thank goodness we stuck with water.

Nice enough place, trading on location though, food is not very good. Clientele are on the older side and don’t seem to mind.

Fabulous Cafe, great food options available as well as dietary ones too! Great cafe for dogs too 🐕🐕

Brilliant parking Lovely walks Looks like great cycling (didn't have time to try, but packed with bikes) Brilliant cafe, dog friendly (recommend booking if taking a dog). The cooked breakfast is SO good. There is also a bike shop which I wasn't allowed to go in encase I left with a new bike. 😁

All very good, my only complaint is a limited choice of light bites for lunch.

I love it here - come for a coffee and lunch and their brilliant Sunday roast dinners.😊

We had such a lovely time at this venue, from the brunch we ordered to the excellent refreshments. We had great service from the team, particularly our waiter/server Finlay. The team were efficient with our booking and organized us a lovely table inside the venue. As we were really enjoying the venue and the weather, not to mention that we got to see some deer, Finlay organized with the manager to get us another table outside. We were so impressed that we didn't want to leave, so not only will be returning to this venue; it is also highly recommended.

A pleasant place for lunch on a sunny day. Our salads were very tasty, the view was lovely and the team there are very friendly and helpful. It's a great location for a walk too. All in all a lovely experience. Recommended..

Great lunch yesterday, It was my friend’s 1st time visiting as well. They enjoyed it and even took home some cakes 👌🏻.

Came up for breakfast with the kids for my 40th, absolutely exceptional as always! Amazing food, great service and stunning location 👌

We had coffee and cakes outside with our doggo. Was lovely cakes and nice coffee.

A bit of a hidden gem this one. Excellent staff and free parking (but you need the barrier code from staff). Relaxed and clean interior with a great selection of goodies for after your food. All of the food was decent stuff. The coffee was a bit weak but that's a preference thing and subjective. Would come back if I was hiking the area.

Absolutely love Canada Wood - definitely my go to place 😍

Nice cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. Great for light bites or larger dishes. I normally have tea and cake. Cakes are always nice. Friends have enjoyed main meals and soups with no complaints. Cafe can be busy at times so you may have to wait to be seated. Cafe is dog friendly.

Great wee place. Food is delicious, staff friendly and dog friendly. Macaroni is highly recommended

Great being able to take the dog in with us, and the late opening on Sunday nights food.was great and good.service

Very friendly service in a lovely setting with easy access parking and plenty of outdoor seating. Prices are reasonable, and the inside atmosphere is very nice with a welcoming dog wall of visiting pets as well. Was reasonably busy, but breakfast in this case arrived quite quickly with plenty of staff available. A nice selection of deserts & cakes and the food quality was great with only the bacon being not to my taste. Would visit agaij especially in the nicer weather although I suspect booking a table would be best as it's a popular area. Parking was free in the nearby car park.

Cannot get enough of the place! It’s in a great location where you can go on lovely walks. I have a little dog so can take him into the cafe afterwards to relax. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and take the time out to make sure everything is great with your meal. Food is always outstanding, very fresh and alot to choose from. Overall an amazing place

came here for my birthday lunch with my family and was very impressed! The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and accomodating! They went out their way to make sure we were very comfortable which i appreciated! very chill atmosphere and dog friendly too! will defo be back here

This restaurant was a disappointment on a few levels. (In response to the unprofessional reply from the owners after my poor experience, I went through the other reviews and this is not an isolated incident, consider further customer relation training for your front of house staff and servers to help them deal with busier times instead of brushing off complaints and pretending that there is no room for improvement, very poor management indeed!) The service was so poor by the hostess/manager, unwelcoming and a bit rude, that I do not want to go back. The sound is also a bit overwhelming as there is no audio damping and it is very difficult to hear across a table.

Delicious food it is in a great location. Friendly professional staff

Great food great walks for the dog

Homemade Veggie pate tasted amazing! Dog friendly Cafe too 🐶🐶💜

Great food let down by poor inattentive service. Waited ages for our coffees only to find when we have up and went to pay that our order hadn't even been placed.

Great place to stop by if using the local paths for walks or cycle. Large carpark, I've been a few times as a handy mid way meeting point to meet friends. Staff friendly, cafe cosy with tasty food and cake selections. Great hot chocolate had after our cold walk!

Great as always. Good choice of breakfast

A great cafe on the outskirts of Falkirk, surrounded by long walks and cycle paths. Great food with really attentive, friendly staff. Dog friendly, but often worth booking ahead as it can be busy.

The menu has been changed, and they have taken off the Pate we would normally have We took a salmon dish instead....not the right choice for us . There is a new owner and it felt different, sadly i don't think we will be hurrying back .

My first visit here after recommendations from my daughter. Service was friendly and professional, food was absolutely delicious, beautiful setting. Will definitely be back.

Went here for the first time today with my other half. Was not disappointed. We had only intended to get coffee and cakes and ended up having lunch when we realised how good the food looked. More expensive than some places but you get what you pay for with decent portion sizes, value for money and excellent service. There are things on the menu with a price range to suit everyone We will definitely be back sometime.

Lovely breakfasts in a beautiful setting.

Great service. Food was fantastic. Amazing views.

They serve illy coffee which I love and food and service very good.

Excellent. Great place, dog friendly, with lovely staff....and cake, what's not to like🙂

Good coffee, and what a bonus that it's dog friendly in a section of it. Not cheap, but fair value for money in today's economic climate! Book a dog friendly table ahead of time if you're coming on a weekend.

Excellent food and surroundings, be prepared to hit your purse or wallet quite hard tho"

Service was very good and the food was tasty and fresh. Dog friendly which is excellent, it would be great if they offered a doggy menu.

Stylish modern cafe with a small indoor dog friendly area (think best to book for this bit), there is a large outdoor seating area where dogs are also welcome. Friendly and attentive staff, delicious food served on a very hot plate (always a good thing!) would definitely recommend. With the added benefit of taking a walk afterwards to burn off some calories!

Lovely new menu and friendly staff. A great place for a post walk bite & good facilities for the dogs too

Calum was a very pleasant & helpful young man today. Keep up the good work

Really nice food for after a walk or bike ride on Callendar estate. Book ahead for weekend lunchtime, it gets busy.

Some say the Queen opened the cafe at the Falkirk wheel, few realise that the king goes to the Cafe at Canada Wood for soup of the day!

This place is beautiful and the food and service was outstanding. Would definitely recommend!

Over multiple visits over the years, it appears the vibe and how welcome you are made, depends heavily on who's working. Recently made to feel like it would have been easier if we hadn't asked for lunch. Portion size seems to be smaller too?

Super cafe in the middle of nowhere (quite hard to access/find so drive slowly if following google maps) with lovely outdoor seating and excellent food for lunch. I had a wonderful salmon open sandwich. The £2.75 soup add-on is just enough. Lots of walking and cycling trails are nearby and end up here so there are often dogs and bikes.

Excellent location, friendly staff and great menu.

Excellent cafe, I will be back.

Great place for a breakfast. Kitchen style lunches too. Bring your bike to enjoy the various cycle paths in the wood. Good idea to book to avoid waiting. Another visit, another great breakfast.

Excellent food and friendly staff

Arrived late lunchtime and it was busy. Our order was taken quickly but there was a wait for the food: however it was very very fresh and the Canada salad probably one of the best as it wasn’t bulked up with cheap salad leaves. We had to twice catch the wait staffs eye as it appeared we’d been overlooked for the drinks/cake menu and then taking payment..that said the staff were very polite & friendly. Definitely coming back with the dogs as it’s very dog friendly Well worth the visit.

Lovely spot to rest up after a long walk from Falkirk, especially on the outside terrace on a sunny day.

Another great place for taking the dog a walk or cycling or even just for something to eat staff are really helpful and friendly plenty of parking (free) as well

A truly stunning location, totally supprised by the team of youngsters working there, not a raised voice or squealing voices normally associated with young adults, the management should be proud of them all

Nice wee stop for a spot of lunch!

Nice place for a coffee or lunch

Lovely meal served quickly by lovely staff.

Just had coffee and an empire. Both great!

Nice food a nice place sit in great service the staff are so polite and helpful a good car park to a clean place and a place for dogs I would recommend comeing here !

Excellent service and good quality food. Location is lovely to. Also dog friendly, which is a bonus as lots of nice walks around.

Great service, lovely people and fantastic food.

Coffee and cake lovely...walks good in surrounding areas. Dogs welcome in the cafe which was great.

Always a pleasure to visit here 😀

A great pitstop when out on the bike!

What a great little place. We visited for breakfast for the first time today and food was lovely, service was great (drinks took a little while to come but it was very busy so completely understandable), and the cafe itself is super cosy and modern. Great veggie options and lots of parking. We booked a table ahead of time and I’m so glad we did, it was so busy even at 10am on a Saturday! Went for a walk out to the Falkirk Wheel afterwards. Would recommend. We’ll defo be back.

Lovely little cafe with amazing food warm friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff and dog friendly.

In a class of its own in the Falkirk area. Hard to beat for quality food, excellent service and stylish surroundings.

Nice little place. Great food and service.

Very polite staff. Super busy on the day I visited. You might need to make reservation. Take out Tea £2

Lovely staff, gorgeous location, food of my friends seemed good but my burger couldn't have been more cooked if you left it in the Sahara for a few days. Bone dry and hard to cut. Bun also a bit old. Shame as overall it was tasty, just dry. Maybe n3xt time I'll have the fish and chips

There is a lot to like about this place. Firstly the setting is ideal for a good walk and food afterwards. The menu is lovely and I have worked my way through most of it. They have a nice little dog section indoors and offer blankets for them and a larger outdoor area for when busy. Worth the visit 😁

I took a client here last week fora late lunch after shooting at the National Shooting Centre. Really excellent food - I had a delicious soup and open sandwich. Really great coffee. This place is a hidden gem.

Just visited the café for breakfast - very nice. Looks as if good walks near by. Planning to come back with dog and check out walks and have another lovely breakfast.

Food was tasty and decent portions.

Lovely place for lunch. Good food and great service .

Lovely cafe in nice location. Staff are friendly and food comes very quickly. Really nice mint hot chocolate. A bit expensive, but food is lovely. Dog friendly.
