Nice cosy spacious cafe with comfy seating and reasonable prices although not a great selection of cakes and fancies.

There are occasions that food is great but there are also occasions that food could be a lot better. But still a four star for me.

Great place for breakfast, lunch, snack or just a coffee and bit of cake. Nice relaxing warm surroundings, nice place to look over at the working stables from your table whilst having your lunch having a chat. Great place to bring your family as there's usually something going on in the yard or outdoor arena.

When in the area to watch a football game we stopped here for breakfast, very nice, hot food. Reasonably priced, if in the area would stop again.

Having read the favourable reviews, I had looked forward to lunch here but, sadly, left feeling disappointed. The smell of old fat was off-putting. The chips tasted of old fat - and for some reason the cook had decided to season them for me - far too much salt and pepper. The friendly staff must have been having a day off. A smile would have been welcome.

Sat down as a family of 6 at a table, and after 10 minutes of the waitress ignoring us, we got up and left. We were not inconspicuous as we had loud children also with us, and felt particularly annoyed as she seemed to be cleaning other customer's tables. It was such an awful introduction to the place we left.

Our first time visiting the Stables Bistro was quite the disappointment. The food was of average quality and the burger could do with a bit of seasoning. The service however was quite poor; the waitress looked like she needed a decent sleep and her stoic expression matched the nonplussed behaviour throughout the experience. After finishing I had to get up to ask for the bill, but stood waiting at the counter whilst the cashier sat at one of the restaurant tables zoned into her smartphone - eventually she noticed and sprang into action. When I responded in a ‘so-so’ kind of way to her question if everything had been ok, her demeanour changed to a negative expression, no further enquiry was made as to why I wasn’t satisfied and the bill was simply paid and we left. Just a small town middle of the road joint. Nothing special.

My family and I visited for lunch a few weeks ago and had a pleasant lunch we each had a burger with different toppings and they were all nice. Value was reasonable and service was good.

This eatery caters mainly for visitors and participants of the riding centre. It suits my mother in law as it is local to her home. Food is generous in terms of portion size and the menu is varied. Prices reasonable. Service with a smile. The environment both inside and out is a bit tired so personally I wouldn't choose it. But it provides a venue for a convenient family lunch.

Visit for lunch menu not extensive but adequate and reasonably priced. Soup and sandwich well presented and tasty. Friendly staff would visit again.

Quite expensive for what you get,limited healthy options & wouldn’t day it’s suitable for kids with no kids menu and not offered high chair for our 2yr old, then saw them on way out - so they were available!

Good coffee and nice place for a quick bit to eat. A very comfortable place for a stop over. It is attached to a riding school so you can have a donkey ride too

Took my daughter here for lunch today. I had the bacon BBQ burger with cheese, and it was delicious. Good quality meat, thick tasty bacon and the crinkle chips were fab. Daughter loved her chicken nuggets. Very friendly service and nice decor. Will definitely be back again, and would recommend to anyone!

I have visited the Stables a few times now with my parents and always left raving about the food and coffee! From the soups to the toast and pate and sandwiches to the scones with jam and cream, the place is great value for money and the service is always top notch. I popped in with my girlfriend as we were waiting for our dog to be picked up at the vets along the road and once again have not been disappointed with the food or the tastiest cappuccino I've ever had. Will definitely be back. Thanks

A cosy place to relax, watch the horses and observe the riding lessons. The place is very clean. I walked-in trying to book a lesson but everything was full booked since it was summer. So I had to satisfy myself by observing the lessons and enjoying a cup of coffee with a slice of carrot cake. Book in advance your lesson.

Lovely warm welcome from friendly attentive staff. Varied menu with food made fresh to order all very well priced. We have eaten here a few times and have never been disappointed, the log burner is lovely in the colder months and the windows looking out onto the activity in the stable yard make for a lovely experience.

Tried the bistro during a short stay in May 2017, as a group we feel that the food was rather bland / poor quality with not a great selection but the prices are very high .We ventured to other local restaurants and were more impressed . Inn on the Loch is superior with lovely views and is 10 mins walk away for example.

Tenemos una visita familiar al Bistro cada sábado después de mis hijas grand caballo y lección que todos esperamos. Y ¿por qué no? Deliciosos hamburguesas (los únicos mi hija gran comer! ! Magnífica casa de hecho), sopas, sándwiches y comidas con abundante paninis, ensaladas, patatas fritas en la parte correctamente preparado y si tienes habitación después de todo que probar los postres caseros. Los propietarios y el personal es tan amable que te sientas como en casa. El servicio es rápido. Quemadores de madera durante los meses más fríos. Ambiente encantador. Usted puede mirar fuera de las ventanas en los acontecimientos especiales en el patio estable. En general, un lugar muy agradable para comer y pasar tiempo en el complejo estable.

Popped in here on a Sunday morning for breakfast, I knew from the menu online that choices were quite limited (3 fillings on ciabatta rolls) so I wasn't disappointed but if you're going here looking for a fry up you're out of luck! However, the food was lovely and fresh, the setting is very pleasant watching the horses come and go and the service was prompt and friendly. There is an extensive lunch and afternoon menu as well so I'd like to go back and try it out for an afternoon meal. It closes at 4pm so no dinner options which is a shame as Lanark is low on good restaurants for evening meals.

We went for lunch today and were not disappointed. We had fish and chips which were the best we have tasted and a Super salad. Only drawback was the continuous noise from one young child who shouted constantly. His parent and grandparents completely ignored the racket oblivious of the discomfort it was causing fellow diners. Service was excellent and the bistro has a lovely atmosphere.

Stopped here with my sister to have a bite of lunch. It is really cosy inside but modern at the same time and very neat and tidy. A good space for couples or groups. They have a really good variety/choice on their menu and the food was lovely. Would definitely recommend to anyone passing by looking for somewhere to stop and we will definitely be back. (Unfortunately no photos were taken on this trip)

My daughter and I had our meals in the Stables Bistro during a recent riding holiday. The food was lovely, the staff were friendly, it was nice to look out to the yard during the daytime and very pleasant to relax there with a glass of wine in the evening. It was a great place for us to catch up with fellow holiday makers but with plenty of parking it would be great for stopping by when out for a drive or holding working lunches and dinners

We have eaten lunch here on 2 Saturdays consecutively and have been very impressed with everything. The welcome and atmosphere is very convivial, and we were seated and served with drink within 2-3 minutes on both occasions. The menu is varied with some excellent and original specials that I would highly recommend - the chicken escalope served with pea and asparagus risotto was to die for!!All of the staff really make you feel at home, taking the time to make polite conversation, despite it being very busy at times. Overall, if you're looking for a reasonably priced, good quality, tasty meal in pleasant surroundings where nothing is too much trouble, this is the place for you!!

Pleasant atmosphere. Quiet with friendly service and enjoyable food. The bistro is situated within the equestrian centre which situated within the grounds of the old Lanark horse racing grounds next to Lanark Loch. From Lanark travel towards Hyndford Bridge and past the Inn on the Loch to get to the Bistro which sits on the left hand side

We are from North Lanarkshire and decided to spend a day in Lanark for a spot of shopping and a little sight seeing. Anyway after the afore mentioned activities' we decided to find somewhere to eat. We had noticed this little restaurant while driving past what I used to know as the Lanark racecourse back in the mid 1970s, Therefore we parked our car which there is ample parking and walk round buildings and decided to try the Bistro. It was not overly busy, however there were a couple of other tables occupied. We loved the buildings and the authenticity of them fitted in with the local surroundings. One of the first things that hit us as we entered how impeccably clean everything was. The staff were very prompt in attending to us, . We ordered some drinks, prior to ordering our food. We never had long to wait before our meals arrived. We were only really looking for something hearty. My partner and I were very impressed by this little restaurant that we will surely return, And perhaps make a regular visit. We can only praise everything about this little Bistro. The staff were very polite, informative , helpful and above all just really nice people. We look forward to returning sometime soon, And we may even give the accommodation a try by arranging an overnight.

We had a delicious lunch, the menu is varied, a great range of starters and mains, with a daily special on the board.It is very well laid out, warm and welcoming.The tables are spacious and the leather seats are lovely and comfy. The staff are attentive but not intrusive and extremely welcoming.Our food was beautifully presented, the haggis balls were piping hot and the dressed salad was tasty, there were plenty of prawns in the Marie Rose sauce.The battered chicken was delicious and light, served with a yummy garlic dip.The burger has a great range of options and comes with a hearty bowl of fries. Excellent portion sizes, and very well priced.

Although Helen and I have lived in the area for over six years, this is a restaurant we have not really heard of. We only discovered it because we walked our two Golden Retrievers on the old racecourse which is near to the restaurant. Having decided on trying the restaurant out for a lunch on a Saturday, we were very pleasantly surprised to find how nice it was. There was a warm welcome in more than one sense - a lovely log burner and very friendly staff. All we required on this occasion was a light lunch. We had booked a table which was just as well as the restaurant was busy. We were ushered to our table and a very nice waitress took our order. It was very apparent right from the word go that we had walked into a very clean warm and friendly place. The food was reasonably priced as were the drinks and both were served quickly and with a lot of thought. While we were there, it became apparent that there was a young male trainee who was cleaning the tables after a couple left. The manager very quickly stepped in and showed him how to clean the tables (and chairs) really thoroughly which gave us a lot of confidence. The loos were spotless and we simply couldn't fault the place. We will certainly return to this restaurant. Thank you for a lovely lunch!
