The queue at Armando's - ma favorite time tae hide fae ma troubles and squeeze in the line. Shout oot 'wan fish supper' - fan oot ma cash then keek roon this auld school memory stash. Gless bottles o Limeade an Barr's Irn-Bru The cigarette case (wi fags hidden noo). Armando's hauns chip at the order mountain and baptise his treats in his Trevi Fountain. The staff stay dead calm though the queue runs for miles as they serve salt an sauce wi slow-fading smiles. The food's cooked sae fresh it's nae bother tae wait in deep-fried Dunfermline ye're at heaven's gate. The punters are ayways a moveable feast wi stories tae tell ye the maist or the least. A quiet man whoops Hoops when they win the Old Firm says next door's Union Jack really makes him squirm. As a Mexican couple across on a whim waft right up the road fae the Holiday Inn a weathered auld worthy laughs 'that wis a peach: plenty mushies there under the copper beech'. Insiders pop heids in - haloed by the sun and grab somethin tasty tae munch on the run. Ma order is ready - I shuffle ma feet but turn at the door cos I feel bitter-sweet. The fish smells amazing - I'm no bein rude it's just that I'm no really here for the food. Although it's cash only I come tae spend time and blend in wi aw human life in the line. When ye just need a breather, this is the place tae abandon the rats and drap oot the race. The world spins and skelters so STOP - look aroon in the queue at Armando's - yer cue tae SLOW DOON.

Great little pub, everyone welcome, felt like a home from home, (not that we stay in a pub)! Will definitely be back any time we are in Forfar.

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.
