    Quite simply the best coffee, the best food, the best cakes, the best company, not just in Kirriemuir but for miles around.

    For such a msall cafe, they sure have a big menu to offer!…read more This used to be a workies cafe. ie small, hot & smelled like bacon & beans! It has recently been taken over by a local couple who have transformed it so that it looks like a small french cafe! All coucehs and soft furnishings, with low lighting and soft music. Sounds great? Thats beacuse it is!! I took my nephew there for lunch last weekend, he's 3 and his choice from the the menu? Stovies. (This is a child who normally only eats beans & sausages). He cleaned his plate! I had lentil soup. All I can say is can I have some more please?

    We stopped at the Dirliebane early November for lunch and its a lovely place.Staff very nice and…read morefriendly,environment comfortable,quite stylish and very clean too.It seemed to be a popular local meeting place and there was a real friendly/family vibe.Quiet enough to sit and read the newspapers at the big comfy sofas and there were a couple of customers doing just that while we were there. Menu was good and the food was superb.I had the stovies and they were fab,served with oatcakes.Best hot chocolate ever.Hubby had a toastie and salad,the homemade coleslaw was the best he had tasted. The gigantic fresh baked scones looked really tempting and we took some away with us.Fabulous also. Nicest eatery/coffee shop We have had the pleasure of eating in for a while.Real home made hearty menu and friendly faces.What more could you ask for?

    What a lovely Glasgow gem. Having had the best salted caramel brownie at the Good Food Show from…read morehere I decided it was time to pay the sisters in Killearn a visit. A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch

    Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.
