They took me sightseeing for a couple of days. For lunch we dined here. I ordered the combo of Cullen skink soup and sandwich (coronation chicken (curry flavor)). I didn't notice on the menu a choice of a full sandwich or half sandwich. I ended up with the full sandwich. For me, it was too much food. I could have easily just enjoyed the soup. Everything was delicious!! I loved the creaminess of the soup, the potatoes, and the smoked fish. I hope I can find smoked fish at home to make this soup. The interior is charming; the waitress attentive. A most enjoyable lunch with wonderful friends.

Pricing is moderate - but worth it.

The most important reason we stopped here is we read they had Highland Cows you could feed. Locally they are nicknamed "coos". Highland Cattle are a unique breed with long hair and long horns. You will see them all over the Highlands and when we came 10 years ago I remember we saw some at a farm. I think feed is 2 pounds, they will eat aggressively and your hands and palms will be wet from cow slobber! The premade food didn't look great but we were here around 5 and we knew they kids wouldn't make it all the way back to Edinburgh from here without some kind of snack. We spent way too much time debating options and seeing what they had and ended up with the the hotdog. Had a bite, nothing stood out as good or bad and it was perfect for what we were looking for.

In September 2022 we were again on holiday and had lunch there. We are still very impressed with the whole set up, service and food still excellent. intend to visit again in a couple of days.

The service almost always was super attentive and always made sure we were taken care of. 10/10 recommend the millionaire bars they were almost always delicious and moist I also think it might depend on the baker whose baking too which batch and cutting the bars and desserts because somedays the pieces are different or taste just a little bit better but regardless always tasty! However the only one we did not like surprisingly was the carrot cake. It was just weirdly dense not cakie and like juicy its a bit weird to explain but just wasnt our favorite. Everything else though awesome and the food is just superb! I think my favorite was the vegan fry or haggis toastie if you like a bit of sweet and salty combo! If you go on the weekends however I do recommend having a booking or you most likely wont get in till later in the day. I'll miss you hideaway the best food!

I had the bacon and mozzarella baguette with hot salsa and guacamole and it was absolutely delicious. Lots of cheese, lots of bacon, lots of yum. The Hideaway is just the perfect spot for tea and cake, I definitely want to sample their baked goods soon. Very, very soon!

On our last day in Scotland, we headed in to the town of Stirling to go visit the Stirling Castle. I came across Toast on my Yelp app, and we decided that was exactly what we wanted. GPS drops you off about two doors before the actual location so continue to walk around the bend. The restaurant sits on the corner with a beautiful window view. There are a good amount of tables for the size of the space and seating you can sit to chat or as a single that looks out the window. There is a men and women's bathroom, and inside the women's restroom is a changing station for babies. The staff was very welcoming and kind, the service was fast, and the food was fresh and delicious! What an amazing find and pick. I ordered a latte, and my husband got a cappuccino. We both ordered the same breakfast which was an omelet with goat cheese and spinach. The omelet came with a small green salad, and we ordered a side of toast to split. It was the perfect amount of food. The toast taste so much better than the states. It came with a side of butter and red jam. Maybe raspberry? Whatever it was, we loved it! The goat cheese was smooth and creamy and the greens were refreshing and just plain fresh. Everything tasted better than what you would normally imagine. Breakfast isn't my favorite meal of the day, but the day we dined here it was! The location is only about a ten minutes drive from the castle. If you are in the area, I highly recommend coming here, and if we ever go back to Scotland and are close we will definitely go back as well. I wish I could pick this place up and bring it home with me.

A lovely little diner located in Stirling…read more The diner itself is quite small and I'd reccommend making a booking around peak times. It's definitely not fancy or dressy, it's pretty laid back and the breakfasts are incredibly cheap. Coming in for lunch, we both ordered the specials off the menu- beef with mushroom and cream sauce for me and Thai beef for my pal- both served as sandwiches with fries which we swapped for salad topped with sweet potato without issue. It's very much all about home cooking, which is why i cant understand why breakfasts range between £3-7 and the mains jump to £18-19. For what it was, the food was good. We also ordered coffee and homemade carrot cake which was delightful. The owner of Gabe's was a really friendly man, though he did push the specials quite strongly- we even planned o order the ceasar salad but he continued to push the beef so we just changed out order. Overall a nice place if you're in the area.

Sunday and Brunch go hand in hand. Or at least they should…read more After a busy morning trawling around Garden centres, my brother and I were excited to try eating in Gabe's Diner. Unfortunately, this was not to be. While it was quite busy when we arrived there were visibly still a number of tables free and we were shown to a table within about four minutes. The tables themselves were clean, but the menus on the tables left a greasy feeling on my hands. After being seated we were left sitting for 14 minutes before someone came over to ask us what we wanted. My order was taken fine, but when my brother asked what was in the homemade milkshakes the waiting staff had to go and look it up, after finding out what flavours were available, a second member of staff came over to ask if he could pick something else as it took too long to prepare a milkshake and they were very busy. Now a small diner running out of stock half way through the service is one thing, but to ask a paying customer not to order something because it takes too long to make, seems a little cheeky to me. Giving them the benefit of the doubt my brother ordered a latte he didn't particularly want before going on to order the scrambled eggs, with bacon served on a toasted bagel. And that as they say, is where the straw broke the camels back. They had unfortunately run out of bagels, and rather than asking whether a toast substitute was acceptable just presumed it would be fine and went straight on to offer brown or white bread. We made the executive decision to walk out after this, too many little things just hadn't gone to plan, and add to that the waiting time between being seated and a drinks order being taken, neither of us felt compelled to stay. Perhaps this time just wasn't meant to be, and I'd like to think I'd go back and actually try the food sometime, but this experience was enough to put me off going back for quite a while.
