The Park Bistro Linlithgo in West Lothian

Excellent restaurant when you fancy a drive out Excellent food and service and in a beautiful location.

Great place to eat or just stop off for a coffee located right next to Union canal ,friendly staff and great service 👍🏻 nachos some of the best I ever had

Nachos burnt ,really hard. Steak pie small,not value for money. Service very slow.

First time here and we were not disappointed. Forgot to take photos 🤦🏼‍♀️. We had a steak pie and chips, and Thai beef sizzler with rice. Was very filling and really liked the rustic decor. Will definitely be back

Food in the garden was served in paper bags with wooden cutlery, expensive and not very much.

Nice enough but hugely put off by all the waste. Everything served outside was in disposable containers and bags. There were no bins to recycle them either. Such an unnecessary waste.

I've at a LOT of burgers in a lot of places all over the world and The Park Bistro burgers are up there with the best of them!

Lovely lunch with my niece and would definitely go back. Super fresh food, friendly staff and decent value for portions. We had haggis Bon bons, focaccia and two scones and all tasty. Drinks quite expensive (soft) but not outrageous. Nice setting and good ambience

Food could do with being hotter, probably ok for the average person

Good staff .. efficient service .. but menu lacked lighter / smaller offerings

Just back from The Park Bistro in linlithgow. Photo's don't do it justice. Is very comfy and exceptionally clean 👌 The staff are all very helpful and very pleasant youngsters. We had steak pie and burger. Both meals were hot and tasted really nice. Will definitely be back and would definitely recommend x

The food is fine but the amount of waste created by putting everything into takeaway boxes is less than ideal, especially when everyone is eating outside but within the restaurant premises. There are no recycling facilities so compostable boxes are being mixed with drink cans and plastic lids and paper bags. Three recycling bins would be easy to set up or perhaps going back to using normal plates and cutlery might be better.

My son and new daughter in law had his reception here about 70/80

Ordered from the "take away" menu and ate outside. Service was great and food was fabulous!

I wish I could comment on the food but I can’t as we wanted to sit outside as it was one of those rare days in Scotland where the sun was shining. However we were given the “outside menu” which did not have fish and chips on it (that’s what we wanted) we were told by the guy behind the bar that fish and chip were only served inside. I asked why this was and could we be served the fish and chips outside the response was an abrupt NO! When I asked why I was told it was only served on the “inside menu” !!!! We promptly left with a very bad impression of the establishment and we will not be returning. I suggest that the staff are trained to understand the term FLEXABILITY and customer service

Nice range of food and drink. Pleasant atmosphere indide.Good service from staff. Benches outside for a sunny day. Car park. Next to union canal.

Very nice brunch in nice surroundings! Great staff!

Great venue, the food was delicious, friendly staff

Great setting in the country overlooking the canal. Good food, service and friendly staff.

Had team lunch here. Food was okay. Their drinks were very good and refreshing. I got veg. Quesadillas and the tortillas were really crunchy and breaking apart rather than being crispy. Feel it was too dried. I got their Victoria sandwich cake for pudding it was too dry as well. The rest of the team also thought that the food was okay, just short of great. We will be returning though since this could be one off day. But the staff were friendly and location was convenient for us all.

Great place to have lunch. When the weather is good a walk along the canal to this gem is always one of our favourites. The staff are really friendly and the food is top notch. Highly recommend.

Coffee and hot chocolate was good. Carrot and walnut cake was homemade, nothing special though

Lovely place for food ,bwalk along the canal and stop off for lunch

Lovely place to eat along the Union Canal. Open longer hours at the weekend. Friendly staff with great locally sourced food.

Been a few years since I was last here. Sadly I feel the quality has slipped since a possible change of owner. Portions less. Quality not as it used to be and overpriced. For what it was. The chicken mango and cheese toasted sandwich was as filling as the beef burger for half the price and was way tastier.

Nice place can sit inside or out.food good.beer good

Had a lovely lunch. Staff very lovely and efficient nothing was a bother for them. Had a main and desert all gluten free, beautifully presented and so tasty. Will be back!

We enjoyed a lovely burger and chips. Lots of choice of different burgers.

We hired a narrowboat on the Union Canal for a week in may 2024. We planned our route specifically to land at The Park Bistro on Wednesday morning at opening time, the forecast was sunny, and we intended to sit outside with our dog and enjoy a full cooked scottish breakfast. What a disappointment. We found a table outside in a lovely sunny position and I went inside to order, only to be told they don't serve full cooked breakfast outside, only inside. So then I enquired if we could take our dog inside so we could enjoy a breakfast. Again the answer was a resounding 'no'. So, sadly we left and made other plans. I cannot give a star rating on 'food' as we didn't get the opportunity to try any. But they were unhelpful and unwelcoming so have scored a one star for service and atmosphere.

Lovely bistro with friendly staff and a relaxed atmosphere. The biscoff waffle desert was the best pudding I've eaten anywhere... DEEELISH!! 🤤😁

Biscoff pancake was amazing! Scottish fully loaded breakfast was nice too. And nice mug of Americano☕️

I’ve never been before and simply stopped for coffee as we were passing. The atmosphere and menu looked so good that we decided to stay for dinner. The staff were excellent as was the ambience, while the food was exceptional for a place of this size and type. While the menu isn’t massive, there is a good range, in bistro style, and the quality was fantastic. Definitely recommend and will visit again if I’m ever in the area

Food is just fine nothing special in my opinion. The venue is rural & peaceful. Prices are very reasonable.

Great spot between Falkirk and Edinburgh. I use it to catch up with friends when I don’t want to be in Linlithgow. Lovely staff. Good food choice. Great coffee. Just on the side of the canal With parking.

A very nice meal and atmosphere, not overcrowded and very friendly staff.

Fantastic hide away x Good excellent staff amazing so friendly and the location is so beautiful

We went there today for lunch. The meal, service and staff where fantastic. A very busy place very popular.

The place is beautiful, the decoration is charming and the staff is very nice. The cuisine is truly delicious. For a stopover before going to visit the area, it's really great.

We had an excellent 2 meals last week!!

We came across this bistro as we're having a walk along the canal from linlithgow it is such a beautiful place and the staff were amazing so friendly definitely be going back

Great wee place beside the canal. Service was extremely quick and polite. The food & drinks didn't take too long to order. The burger was extremely good, cooked just right and very tasty. The chicken sandwich was also very tasty too. Will certainly visit again.

Excellent food, plenty of parking , great for meeting up with friends

Great place to stay for a coffee or for a proper meal. Perfect to get something outside with the nice weather or enjoying the inside. Friendly staff!

First visit with friends and lovely mid-morning breakfast/brunch. Good service and excellent food. Not too expensive either. Very clean and tidy. We will return.

Right on the canal, perfect pit stop. I can only comment on breakfast/brunch but it’s always been great

Breakfast sweet chill jam black pudding and goats cheese well worth a try

Burger takeaway - best burger I've had in a long time. Great range on the menu on both burgers and fries 👌🏻

We are regulars and We sat outside as it was bookings only, which isn't surprising, however they lost out of many sets of people who got turned away, but I think they need to extend the restaurant to encompass the outdoor seating area and use the concrete side garden for outdoor eating, because they are losing out on customers. The food is lovely, and the service is great. But they need to think bigger and extend their dining hours in the evening at weekends to 9pm to cover renovation costs.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and a tasty vegan flatbread made as vegetarian for breakfast. And a bean burger and quesadilla for lunch, yum. 😀 Close to the Union Cancel so can go for a stroll afterwards.

Very nice place to stop for coffee and a cake when on a chilly cycle.

Overpriced , had soup & a veggie roll wish l hadn't not a difficult request but had a pricetag of from memory £14.00 .

Had coffee and a bite to eat while attending a car meeting. Lovely location and great service

Lovely meal in a very nice environment. Staff were excellent, genuinely very helpful. Looking forward to another visit 😊

Excellent food and fantastic choice

Gem of a find friendly and relaxed atmosphere and the food and coffee we're excellent

We love this place. The staff are so friendly. The burgers are out of this world. It's great and it's relatively cheap. Last time we were there for lunch for 4. Everyone had burgers and chips. Think it was about 72 quid.

The best burger and chips I've had in a very long time. Would highly recommend!

Didn't eat but a lovely place and setting

We’ve been to the Park Bistro twice now and it’s been fantastic each time, the food is great quality and all of our dishes have been delicious (*except for the Lemon Meringue Pie which was disappointing with solid meringue and soggy base but I have very high standards as my Mum makes the BEST) The Biscoff Toffee Waffle is epic! The Pork Tenderloin was incredible and everyone enjoyed it both times we’ve been. The staff are friendly even when it’s busy, memorable place.

Probably the best burger I have ever had. Breakfast is also fantastic. Really nice atmosphere. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Very welcoming and polite waiter

There's nowhere better for breakfast, coffee & snacks (gluten free too) after our Linlithgow Kayak Racing club's Saturday morning paddles. The staff are just the best and always look after us superbly! Very highly recommended!

Really good, been a couple of times.food is excellent

We always love The Park Bistro. Both dine in and take away are fabulous and the staff and super attentive to meeting your needs with gluten free and other preferences. The take away system online is brilliant - lots of options and collection has always been fabulous. Take away packaging is biodegradable ⭐ Dining in - inside or outside are both great options. Access is easy outside but there is also plenty of accessable space indoors. All food is gorgeous with the different chips to choose from being a favourite! Great options for children too - both dine in and take away. My little boy has a select few places he'll enjoy eating - this is his favourite! Plenty of parking at the restaurant or over the road there is an overflow car park and easy access to the canal for a stroll afterwards. Highly recommended The Park Bistro!

Well thought out menu. Food to suit all with prices to match

Stopped by for lunch.We all enjoyed sitting outside and the great beer and food!

Great place, good food and fantastic service.

The food was excellent and service was prompt and friendly.

Honest food with affordable prices. nicly situated next to Union Canal. Who ever runs the kitchen for sure knows what is doing.

Wonderful location and pleasant staff. Most disappointing were the scones which were not fresh. If serving old scones, which you should be, then at least heat them.

Was here with my parents on Saturday lunchtime, it is a nice location by the canal and was very busy which is always a good sign. There were a couple of mistakes with both our starters and the coffee order but both were quickly rectified. I would say that it is quite expensive for what you get. For example, the haggis ball starter I would expect a minimum of 3 but only got two, there should definitely be less salad, less dip and at least one more haggis ball on the plate. Main was well presented, I had the chicken caesar salad and it was very good, chicken and bacon were nice and warm and the salad had a good sprinkling of parmesan and dressing. The croutons were tasty as well. I had the lemon meringue pie for dessert. It was OK but no better than what you could pick up at the supermarket for £5 less.

Amazing place for a bite or a drink! Great atmosphere + friendly staff. Delicious food with vegan options! Stopped for a burger and fries and enjoyed them outdoors - they have a huge tent or lots of tables in the sunshine if you want to stock up on all the vit D you can get, when the sun's finally out! Or you can enjoy the cosy atmosphere inside when the weather turns - Nice views of the canal. Came here on my 🏍️ while out and about in the area but definitely planning to stop here again when on a bicycle ride, next. Saved in my faves on maps 🤘🏻

Very good choice to cater for most tastes.

Best lunch we’ve had in ages and super friendly waiter/waitress

Great burger and chips, well priced, friendly staff. Hard to find that these days, this place is great.

Very nice food, just a pity about all the wasted packaging for sitting on patio. I ordered a burger and received burger wrapped in paper, paper in a box, box in a bag, plastic cup and wooden cutlery. Awful lot of waste for one person.

Had coffee with friends. Booked for a meal

Super eating along side the Union Canal near Falkirk.

Popped in for a quick bite to eat on a Friday afternoon. We were lucky to get a seat inside at it seamed very busy (normally a good sign) but would happily have eaten outside. Menu was very appealing and both food and service were very good. Located on the canal so ideal for a stroll before or afterwards. Would visit again.

Great place, good food, a bit expensive though.

Absolutely lovely breakfast, and lovely coffees. The meat was so delicious 😋

Nice place to sit and have a meal or even outside for a coffee. Staff are pleasant with good service. Walks along the canal right next to it if your inclined as well. Recommended.

As always good food and service. Burgers were top notch.

Nice food Nice spot Can't complain

We visited here at the weekend, we used to go here years ago and loved it. Although the venue has been done up since we last visited the menu has went down hill. We visited with our daughter who only wanted a little cheese sandwich. I asked for this and was told they couldnt make that, we would have to order the grilled cheese bun with bacon and asked for it to be ungrilled and no bacon…. What came was a disgrace, a dry brioche bun with 2 slice of cheese (the shiny plastic type). The cheese wasnt even put inside the dry bun, it was placed to the side. It came with some chips, we were charged £6.50 for this which is shocking. My partner ordered haggis bon bon starter which was only 2 small bon bons. He also ordered fish and chips which came microwaved peas and no sauce. My meal, the grilled cajun chicken was probably the only meal that we had no complaints about and was nice. Our desserts were really nice but my scone was tiny! We were charged £65 for everything. The service was really lovely but sadly we wont ever be back.

Wonderful meal we had. Cooked to perfection. Staff were very attentive and friendly.

Good food, quick service and reasonably priced. Highly recommended

Great food made to order separate full menus for gluten free and for Dairy free! Friendly staff and nice atmosphere and happy to adjust anything they can

Food was really good , service was excellent, lovely atmosphere

I had a cappuccino ☕️ and rocky road truffle. Wifey had cuppa 🫖 and a scoon🧁. Was ok, would like to be back for some burger 🍔 and chips 🍟 next time, but not sure what the dog 🐕 was having on top of the tables outside.

A bit overpriced but enjoyable.

Lovely staff and delicious breaky!

Love the decor and the welcoming atmosphere in this place. Food was pretty decent and I can imagine it being lovely to eat outside once the weather is warmer. Definitely coming back!

Our Golden Wedding family party on Sunday 19th March the staff excelled themselves beautiful food great atmosphere can recommend this place

The First time at the Park Bistro today the staff were great and friendly and the meals were great, i will go back again to this place

Took my daughter there for her birthday we all loved it food and staff great

Lovely place. Easy wheelchair access. Great coffee

We stopped off for a refuel while out on a bike ride. Lovely staff and amazing cakes 🎂

Ok, visited first time today. Nice setting, lovely staff, great set up. Quesedilla... you would think Mexican? Not a tiny single bit. Nothing at all. A tin of sweetcorn with unidentfiable pepper pieces and aside from the grated cheese which left it absolutely greasy, that was it...a layer of soggy spinach..no quac, no chilli, no salsa, no spicing no sour cream, a total embarassment of a dish. Coffee was nice, £33 for two dishes for lunch, we left hungry

We stopped for lunch , it was really nice.
