Amazing mini break at the Waterloo Arms. Nothing is too much trouble. Fish and chips to die for. Martha made a wonderful breakfast and so considerate. Angie the manager so friendly and welcoming. Kieran did a great breakfast
Very poor value, Spent £25 on the seafood platter no langastines so they supplemented with Scallops which i thought would be ok. when it came out there must have been about 2 Scallops thinly sliced fanned over the plate a small piece of fish and small pile of crab meat and two slices of brown bread.
We went for takeaway before getting ferry to Stornoway. Ordered an egg roll and bacon and egg roll. On opening when we got to our car we could not believe how poor they looked. Toasted stake rolls, overdone fried eggs and overdone bacon. Will not go back to this cafe again!
We loved Vandal Perth and were gutted when it closed. So we naturally thought we'd try Dundee as we expected the same experience. Sadly the food was worse, it was incredibly expensive for what it was. The place was freezing and overall just a poor experience. You have to pay extra for fries, and they sneakily include a 10% service charge to the bill on top. Just pay your staff properly instead! Be transparent.
Shame, but we aren't going to risk another visit.
We mourn the day our favourite Edinburgh restaurant The Dogs closed. So we thought we'd check out proprietor David Ramsden's new project - a wee wine bar on Bread Street. Dogs, ponies... if you're an animal lover, you're in good company. But it's David's impeccable taste and dogged (!) commitment to quality that earned our loyalty years ago and keeps us coming back for more culinary adventures.
The Fat Pony offers a range of truly hand-picked (and handmade) wines, meats and cheeses from around the world. Hand-picked but without the snobbery. There's a lot of choice, so don't be shy to ask for recommendations. The reply may be deadpan, but that's just theatrical bluffing, because this man always gets it right when I challenge him to surprise me!
A stylish yet relaxed space, with good music playing in the background. A carafe of wine and a few tapas make for the perfect quick pre-theatre dinner - being just around the corner from the Lyceum, Usher Hall and Traverse.
I was a bit embarrassed to ask for coffee after the beautiful Primativo, but David was ready with yet another surprise: great coffee served in the most divine Wedgwood cups!
PS: Dogs welcome!
PPS: Beautiful toilets!
Not sure if it was an off day, had high hope for the cafe however. Ordered food, was informed there were no beans left so we changed our order. 1 minute went by an I heard the waiter tell the next tables they had gotten beans. Food arrived, food was fine. Asked for ketchup, waited for a few minutes and seen the waiter had forgot so had to get up myself. Asked for some more butter. Don’t think one small butter would do two slices of toast. Toast was cold & so was the mug of tea. Went to pay and waited, the waitress completely ignored me, she was busy however a simple “ I’ll be with you in a sec” would have gone a long way. Won’t be the last visit would like to try again. Not a massive issues just a little disappointed.
We always enjoy a great meal at Saffrons’s and tonight’s special Valentines Banquet knocked it out of the park - as they say!
Amazing tastes of street food and over 9 courses! Great experience. Some of the best tastes of India we have ever had. Please arrange something like this again soon!
Thank you to all the staff who were helpful and courteous and helped make it a great experience.
Deliciosas rosquillas! Nos las entregaron en nuestro hotel y tuvimos un banquete alimentado con pasta. Fue difícil elegir nuestro favorito, porque todos eran muy sabrosos.
