We ate here after visiting the castle on our way back down, and what an absolute treat! This place really is worth a visit, it's super cute and cozy, the staff are so friendly, and the food was great! It's a real gem, whether going there for lunch, or popping in to grab a packed lunch to take up to the castle, it's absolutely worth checking out!

Found this little gem on a visit to the old town jail. Perfect for a light lunch, fresh or homemade produce. Tasty homemade cordials, reasonably priced. Would highly recommend

Cute little place with quick service and tasty food. We enjoyed the lentil soup of the day, the chicken sandwich, and the cheese toasty.

Fantastic food at this busy tourist hotspot. We had to leave a phone number and wait 20-30 minutes for a table, but it was well worth it! Ethiopian lentil soup, absolutely delicious, a little spicy, great flavour. Really good. 9/10 Chicken and bacon toastie on brown bread, really nice, fresh flavours, toasted to perfection. I had this with a side of the ethiopian soup 9/10 Cheese toastie, check out that cheese pull! Need I say more? 9/10 Hot chocolate, copious amounts of whipped cream and marshmallows went down a treat with our youngest lunch guest. Good stuff 8/10. Overall I was very impressed with the food, the waiting staff were perfectly attentive, and the bill came in at only £27 for 3 - excellent value!

Excellent lunch spot in Stirling, located very close to the castle! We enjoyed tea, coffee, and toasties. The coffee menu was quite large and served in an individual French press, which was great! Really cool, historic building, as well. Definitely recommend for a laid back afternoon spot.

Ero alla ricerca di qualche zuppa casereccia e buona scozzese, e qui ho colmato la mia voglia. Ho preso la zuppa del giorno con lenticchie, basilico e limone servita con pane di segale: deliziosa. Il mio compagno ha optato per una baked potato servita con insalata ed è rimasto soddisfatto anche lui. Personale gentile. Ci tornerei.

Good and cheap food, without pretensions. You have a cullen skink soup of the day, 3 sizes to choose from. You complete that with a roast potato or toast and you are delighted. With cost with drink of about 15 euros. They don't have beer, but they allow you to bring it from the store across the street. They are very friendly and helpful. It was recommended to us by the guide, who usually eats there when he goes with a group through Stirling.

Great to have a Scottish lunch as Spanish food at 3:00 p.m., they close the kitchen at 3:30 p.m. The building is historic and the kitchen setup is somewhat peculiar. The staff is very friendly and the food is good, especially soups and salads.

Popped in here today for a pot of tea & coffee. Service good & staff friendly however, the coffee & walnut cake was very dry with not much flavour. The (withered) potted plants by the window badly need some TLC. A bowl of water was kindly provided for my dog.

We each had smoked salmon and cream cheese sandwiches, home made broccoli and chicken soup, and their homemade cordials (strawberry & basil and rhubarb, orange & vanilla). Everything was amazing.

We stopped for lunch here after visiting Stirling Castle and I’m so glad we did! The food, atmosphere, and service were superb. I tried the baked potato with tarragon chicken, a toastie with cheddar + ham + homemade baked beans, and a cup of split pea + leek + chipotle chili soup. Would happily take another train from Edinburgh just to eat here again.

A very nice little cafe with lots of goodies. You can have a little lunch here or coffee with cake. The ambience is excellent as is the service. Even though there were language problems initially, these were quickly resolved. The toilet is funny. To get to the toilet you have to go through the kitchen. Impossible in Europe. The health department would immediately close everything down. But despite everything, we were very satisfied and can only recommend this restaurant.

Stopped off in Stirling for lunch as we drove up to the Highlands from Yorkshire. It was busy but we were welcomed and seated straight away. Our dog was offered a drink and snacks and then we were given the menu, that's exactly how I like it to be.

💯 A quiet and simple place, in a pretty old stone building seemingly steeped in history, near the castle. You can meet very friendly and welcoming staff there. The cooked potatoes, side dishes, salad, raw vegetables and toasts are excellent. We feel that they make a point of making the dishes “homemade”. Special mention to the pickle compote 😉. A perfect address to recharge your batteries, while taking a quiet break, before hitting the Scottish roads again! I recommend 1000%

Classic hangout and great food I come here with my buddies every couple of weeks to hangout, where the food is great and the staff really look after us. Almost every time I order the chicken gyros, which is a satisfying mix of chicken, chips, sauce and spices. 8/10 I have ordered the double portion once, but honestly it's huge and unless you're super hungry, a single portion is more than enough. My vegan friend swears by the souvlaki

Excellent fusion dishes After stopping in at HAVN bakery next door, they mentioned that this was their partner restaurant, and it seems the quality is equal or better here. The food was an interesting fusion of italian and asian dishes, the chef has a real talent for balancing sweet and savoury. We had, Wild mushroom arancini, these were phenomenal! The depth of flavour from the mushrooms was unmatched, 10/10 Pig out fries, a bit more comfort food than their other dishes, but it was good to munch on and definitely filled a hole, 8/10 Xinjiang lamb, presentation was like something you get in a michelin restaurant... if it weren't for the log of meat which I'll be honest looked a little odd. I wasn't 100% sold on the cold terrine-style used here, but the flavours from the sauces, especially the apple sauce, were fantastic. If the meat has been more like an actual chunk of meat from lamb roasted on the bone this could have been a 10/10, but as it was something wasn't quite right for me, so 8.5/10 Roasted beetroot with pear and cavolo nero, this dish was wonderful, bursting with flavour, not too heavy, brilliant stuff 9/10 Overall we had an excellent experience. We actually tried to come back for round 2 another day but it was fully booked - always a good sign! We'll be back another day, don't you worry!
