Small traditional menu of fish and chips, haggis, pies, egg and chips etc. I had a small fish and chips which was more than enough for me. They off soft drinks, traditional afters etc. Comfortable and friendly. I was very happy to find this place having got stranded North of the border by storm Ali.

Licensed cafe-bistro.
A wet and chilly day, on o'clock lunchtime. McTaggarts was busy, but they found room for two people who wanted a bite in dreary November.Two soups: broccoli and almond and lentil and ham. Oat crackers with one, bacon roll the other. An Americano with milk on the side. Major problem: both soups very tepid, both dreadfully over-salted. Why didn't I complain on the spot? Typical British letting it go; mea culpa. Crackers OK (could hardly not be), bacon roll tasty and well-filled. The coffee? Hot, yes, but very muddy-tasting. There's no excuse for poor coffee nowadays. Staff all pleasant, but w lad who took my payment at the end got into a frightful muddle, offering me three different prices before we finally settled on one that seemed probable.McT's has won awards in the past but it seems to be rather on the slide. Those soups were unforgivable - not just the lack of heat but the terrible over-salting. At a time when there's a great awareness of the dangers of excessive salt in the diet, I do think the consume can be allowed to choose the salinity of their own soup. We can always add salt to soup, but we can't remove it once it is there. And the coffee used to be excellent and reliable - maybe a bit more staff training? Maybe a machine needs cleabibg?Hi Martin BThanks for your post. I can clarify a few issues for you. Firstly, if you ever find the food not to your satisfaction, please say so. We will gladly change it and will not be offended in the least. Sometimes soup is served a little cold, sometimes it is too hot. It happens.Our coffee is the highest quality. It is not cheap but we buy in high quality stuff. If you felt it tasted "muddy", we put two shots in an Americano, many other coffee establishments just give you one and I feel the coffee can be watery. It is a matter of opinion, of course but the quality can not be questioned. All our staff are trained to serve all the different coffees. Human error is a fact of life but I can assure you, no one who serves coffee in the café is incompetent or untrained.As for the soup, again, it's a matter of taste. You can't please everyone. There's rarely a day when the soups don't sell out. You claim standards at the café are "on the slide". If performance is "on the slide" I'd say some kind of pattern would have to be evident rather than a one event which is not to your satisfaction. Just today we introduced a new menu with several innovative items which I don't think is indicative of an establishment which takes its customers for granted. Lastly, the young chap who got muddled on the till. He's a new start, a smashing young lad who we are delighted to have in our team. I hope you can see things from our point of view. Next time should things not be to your satisfaction, please say so and we will make amends. Best wishes, John

A dozen people attended the evening session for dinner at this establishment. Ordered what was described as a bit of everything. About 15 minute wait, then plates of food arrived for a help yourself to what you want session.!Very well presented Mediterranean style of food where everyone sampled 5-6 different types and flavoured dishes.Followed by a home made sponged layered cake with fresh cream.Coffee followed.Never been to this establishment before. About 10 other diners in 3 groups also present. A very good evening. Thought it a bit pricey but quality was there.Didnât manage to check the toilets. Parking not great as building on a corner of a main crossroads with traffic lights. Expect to walk about 200-300 yds to find a space.Would recommend this for âlargishâ groups only as I have not dined here with 1-3 people.

Cramond Falls Cafe is situated in a beautiful spot on the River Almond, Edinburgh. We are known for our cakes and scones, our traditional Scottish breakfasts and our warm welcome. We have two large outdoor areas and a cosy lounge with log fire and 16th ce
We went for brunch with friends and loved this place. The service was 1st class - I actually thought the owner knew my friends because she was so lovely but it was the first time they'd been! Plenty of seating on the front by the water, in the back courtyard or inside. Delicious food, we had a full scottish breakfast with haggis and amazing scones which are all baked in-house. Can't wait to visit our friends again so we can return.

The Stables Kitchen, set within the beautiful Hopetoun House in South Queensferry, provides an elegant and sophisticated setting for meetings with friends, family lunches, business meetings and group dining, everything completed with delicious homemade fo
This was the third time visiting the stables kitchen, lovely food that was enjoyed by all and a brilliant atmosphere to go with an overall lovely night. So much thought and detail went into the night and the hard work by all staff was much appreciated. The butterscotch pannacotta was beautiful, as were the sausage roll and scotch egg, and all of the food served! Thanks again ladies!

Cafe serving locally sourced produce on a plate.Friendly and Inviting everything made while you wait. Takeaway available. Gluten free/vegan /non dairy available. Buffet catered for.
I returned to this small welcoming comfortable cafe in the heart of this little historic town on Good Friday.I had the large Scottish cooked breakfast with tea and top up for a more than reasonable £6.99.This included Link and Lorne sausage,fried egg,tomatoes,potato scone,beans,mushrooms,black pudding/haggis, bacon and four buttered toast.The owner was as pleasant and chatty as ever.The menu is always very fresh,remarkably extensive and based on local produce eg the fish and chips are a delight.Bus,train,PO,Library,Museum,free parking,and Historical buildings are nearby.Thank you for your lovely reviewâï¸

Holidaying in the area we went for a saunter around south Queensferry and came across this place. Went in for coffee which was excellent and couldn't resist the pastries. All in all a great find run, it seemed, by two guys who couldn't have been more helpful. Well done.

5 of us went for my sons birthday dinner, food was ok but service was terrible, we were seated upstairs (as requested), the young waiter boy was hopeless, not proactive at all in clearing tables, checking everything was ok, we had to keep calling him over - as he just stood all night at the top of the stairs! It wasnt even busy. We all received our food together apart from 1, when we chased it up took ages for the last meal to come - the waiter boy hadnt even realised we were a meal missing! I think he needs some more training. Not sure I will be back

Small cafe serving fresh tasty food and great coffee (and Tea)
Eight of us in a walking group called in here for lunch after walking from Dunfermline on the new Fife Pilgrim Way. I was expecting nothing more than a standard local "greasy spoon" type Scottish cafe, but I couldn't have been more wrong.The place is quite small, but they'd managed to reserve a big table that we could all sit around together, which was great. The menu was excellent, great choice of smaller brunch type dishes, soups, wraps, sandwiches, everything you could possibly want for a light (or heavier) lunch. I, and a good few of us, opted for the special, which was toasted foccaccia with proscuitto, salad and a few other things in it, plus mini-breadsticks and crisps with home made humous and a bowl of olives on the side. At only £6.99 it was great value and the quantity was so generous that I struggled to finish it, though I did manage...The service was great too - the girl who served us was bright, attentive, friendly, organised and generally on top of things. All great qualities that, sadly, are often missing. Our food came quickly and was politely served and everyone in the group thought the quality was excellent.So, top marks to Rankins, Would thoroughly recommend it.
