Had a fantastic dinner last night 03/04/25. Great location Loch side, charming decor, lovely attentive staff. We had just a main course each, and both ordered the Tequila Mussels, these mains were very generous portions, and were delicious and the best mussel dish we've both had, the accompaniments were all lovely too. They do takeaway as well. Can't wait to go back again and try out the rest of the menu, we'd highly recommended this Bistro.

As soon as you walk in you are made to feel so welcome by Mark and his staff. The food was outstanding. Everything was so fresh and lots of local produce used. Mark is very enthusiastic about his food and genuinely cares that you enjoy your meal. Lots of vegan
options. Will definitely be be back.
Fantastic - lovely location, friendly staff and excellent food at very reasonable prices. We were staying in one of the adjacent lodges for a long weekend break, and never expected there to be a restaurant. Had the steak pie which was immense - an enormous portion of melt in your mouth steak which very nearly beat me!
Fantastic wee place right next to thebeach. Really relaxed vibes with indoor and outdoor seating under a big canopy…great for Scottish summers! We had a couple of rolls on sausage and coffee. All was delicious! The coffee was so good we went back in for more after our walk on the beach.
The staff are great here and there is lots of options for food and drinks. I was speaking to one of the owners today (I think!) and he was just a lovely guy! Been here a couple of times now and will make sure I visit again next time I’m in St Andrews.

I'm not normally a coffee person, but they had strawberry lattes with homemade strawberry syrup, so I had too.
The folks who ran the shop were absolutely lovely, really sold us on coming back later this year.
Now this is what I call a bowl of soup. The tastiest chicken and rice soup I've ever had. So filling unfortunately I had no room for a tasty toastie or any of the cakes on display. This welcoming cafe in the pretty village of Kirkmichael in South Ayrshire is well worth the drive. Just 20 mins from Ayr.
This man is just the highlight if the train station in arbroath. Best service in town and he is there in all coldness also. his coffee is the best. I love the Americano but have had the latte and cappuccino too and equally as good. Have to get a coffee each time I get the train and he's there!
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to Maddie and her mother for creating our absolutely stunning red velvet and Victoria sponge wedding cake. Both tiers were not only beautiful but also an absolute hit with our guests—they couldn’t stop raving about them! Every bite was a delight, and the cakes truly melted in our mouths. We’re already looking forward to our next visit to Helensburgh to indulge in more of your incredible creations. Highly recommended—your cakes are pure magic!
Tuve el mejor desayuno con mi niño esta mañana, mi hija tuvo 2 tortitas y 2 cejas ya que esa es su nueva comida favorita esta semana! Tenía los huevos Benedict con un pudín negro, era tan sabroso y a mi hija le encantaba el suyo. El personal es muy amable y es absolutamente impecable! Tan limpio, que volverá al 100%
