    Very nice place for brunch. All the food was very good, definitely recommend the potato rosti. The poach eggs were perfectly cooked as well. Definitely a must go for some food. Not a massive place though but waiting a bit is good.

    Just what we wanted for lunch. Delicious soup of the day with plenty of bread. We also had fantastic tempura broccoli and a decent bowl of chips. Glass of red wine on a cold day. Lovely service too. Lots of choice on the menu and the Scottish breakfasts looked huge!

    This restaurant has a diverse menu, we had fish and chips, risotto and an Indian curry dish. Impressively they were all good. Everyone got to have their preferred dish at the same restaurant. We did have to eat outside since it was very busy in the city but there is an overhang and a heater. Service was also great, the only issue, which is more with the rules in Scotland, is that you can smoke in the outside seating areas at restaurants, and someone did smoke which kind of sucks, I'm surprised this is still allowed around the UK and often why we avoid eating outside.
