点评:We dropped into the café whilst visiting the town for a pre-season friendly rugby match (if such a thing exists).
It was a busy place which is usually a good sign, and proved to be the case on this occasion, however we managed to get a table for two. The walls were lined with some nice artwork which was for sale and we noticed that they also sold some greeting cards and small gifts.
The menu had a good selection and we opted for their homemade flatbreads - one with mozzarella cheese, red peppers, tomato and rocket and one with hot smoked salmon, guacamole, tomato salsa & feta cheese (£10 each). Surprisingly there was wine on offer too so we had a small (175ml) and a large (250ml) glass of Waters Edge Merlot at £4.50 & £6.00 respectively.
The food was very good and filling and the wine was not bad either so we were entirely satisfied on that aspect. We probably didn’t need a reminder from our server (who sounded more Geordie than Scottish) about the drink driving limits in Scotland but he was possibly trying to be helpful!
We noticed on arrival that the cake display was magnificent so could not resist having a slice of the Pineapple & Coconut cake and the Cranachan cake along with two mugs of coffee all of which were first class. The moist sponge and fillings were superb and we’d probably have had another slice each as a takeaway had we not been a bit far from home. My wife’s choice of the Cranachan probably just tipped the taste test as a winner however there were several untried options which took our interest and will need to await a return visit.
Total cost for lunch for two was just over £42.
Could easily recommend to others.
翻译:我们在镇上观看橄榄球季前友谊赛(如果真有这种比赛的话)的途中,顺便去了这家咖啡馆。
咖啡馆生意兴隆,这通常是一个好兆头,这次也确实如此。不过,我们还是设法订到了一张两人桌。墙上挂着一些出售的精美艺术品,我们注意到他们也出售一些贺卡和小礼物。
菜单选择丰富,我们点了他们自制的扁面包——一种是马苏里拉奶酪、红椒、番茄和芝麻菜,另一种是热熏鲑鱼、鳄梨酱、番茄莎莎酱和羊乳酪(每种10英镑)。令人惊讶的是,他们还提供葡萄酒,我们点了一杯小杯(175毫升)和一杯大杯(250毫升)的Waters Edge梅洛葡萄酒,价格分别为4.50英镑和6.00英镑。
食物非常美味,而且很饱腹,葡萄酒也不错,所以我们对葡萄酒的品质非常满意。我们可能不需要服务员(他听起来更像乔迪人而不是苏格兰人)提醒我们苏格兰的酒驾限制,但他可能是想帮我们!
我们到达时注意到蛋糕摆盘精美,忍不住点了一块菠萝椰子蛋糕和一块克兰纳尚蛋糕,还喝了两杯咖啡,味道都很棒。湿润的海绵蛋糕和馅料都非常棒,如果不是离家有点远,我们可能会再点一块带走。我妻子点的克兰纳尚蛋糕可能只是在味觉测试中胜出,不过还有几个没尝过的选择引起了我们的兴趣,需要等下次再来。
两人午餐的总花费略高于42英镑。
强烈推荐给其他人。
