    It seems that I wound up having fish and chips at the Allan Water four years too late. I wish I'd…read morerocked up here in first year of university for a chippie because I'd have been back here countless times over the years. I wish I'd a time machine! 'Can I have a small please?' HOLD ON A SECOND. - There's been a mistake. This is not small. But yes! Yes, it is. Such is the portion control at the Allanwater cafe. I couldn't finish my small fish supper. If you can finish medium, I commend you. Huge portions, great value and the efficient staff worked through the out-the-door queue with great ease! If you want fish and chips in Stirling, this is the place for it. - Most definitely!

    Came here twice during a four day stay in Dunblane, once for breakfast and then for dinner. Being a…read moreforeigner, I had to go for the English breakfast. Honestly, I enjoyed it. It's a large portion, you get half a slice of a black pudding sausage, a full sausage (deep fried ), large pork slices which I believe was supposed to be bacon, and a fried egg and beans over a slice of bread. The local I was with wasn't too impressed but as this is my review, I think it was fine. We also came for dinner- ordered carry out fish and chips. I had high expectations for this place based on local reviews and experiences. I'm not quite sure what went wrong- it may have been the 10-15 min ride home that made the batter/fish soggy but overall I wasn't too impressed. The batter was bland and it was a bit alarming to watch how much vinegar and salt was added to the dish before it was served. The slab of fish was huge, however and you can easily feed 2 with the medium portion. Maybe the fish would have been better if I ate it right away. In any case, this place still gets 4 stars, weighted more for the breakfast.

    I popped in here after a spot of shopping in Bridge of Allan. Whilst I had a good idea of where I'd…read morego for a quick tea, Café 33 caught my eye with its bright hanging fairy lights inside. Café 33 it is then! I wandered in to chalkboards, quirky signs and LOTS of Christmas decorations. ('Tis the season to be jolly and all!) It's eclectic and quirky! - Maybe a little bit much for some but I really loved the vibe. To me it felt very much like an old style cafe where you could sit and wile away the hours over a tea and cake. And there's lots of cake! Including gluten free options! They all looked delicious! The boards boast their gluten free meals and they aim to offer low-fat dishes where possible! I'm not sure if it's somewhere I'd head for an evening meal but as it got closer to 5, Café 33 showed no sign of getting quieter. It was bustling! And service was fast and friendly despite this. Whilst the cakes were tempting, I opted for my usual. (Chai latte, if you're asking!) I find that larger coffee chains can be a little too generous with the syrup and make theirs sickly sweet but Café 33's was a perfect mix of frothy milk, lovely chai tea and a generous dusting of cinnamon. Just the right amount of sweetness! So much so that I had a second! I'm sure I'll be back soon for my third!

It was agonising to have to make a choice!!! If I lived in Bridge of Allan I would make a point of visiting this cafe every week to try a bit of everything! There are savoury snacks and light lunches available too of course. I embarrassed myself hugely by knocking my full latte over the table and floor - what a mess!! The owner came over and quickly cleaned the table and floor before bringing me another latte - which she didn't add to the bill. Needless to say I was very apologetic and grateful. Definitely a lovely little cafe - and I can't recommend those wonderful cakes highly enough!!!

    Today marked the first birthday of the Bluebell Tearoom and since I'd wanted to visit for a long…read moretime, there was no better time than the present. Why, hello there, Bluebell Tearoom! Birthday banners, complimentary birthday tablet and an afternoon tea raffle for every customer. And of course, the perfect excuse for cake. We are in just the right place for it, after all. Crisp and white and fresh like a beautiful spring day, the tearoom is cute and cosey and the welcome warm. Whilst small in size, there are certainly a good amount of seats and despite arriving slap-bang in the middle of lunchtime, we were able to get a table for two. The first thing that caught my eye was the crockery. We had some dainty little matching cups, bowls, saucers. And there were some more pretty selections displayed on the walls. Tea is always served best in a magnificent teacup. The bluebell are testament to this. It certainly is a the perfect spot for tea and cake! I had Cock-a-Leekie soup which was delicious, wholesome, warming. - The perfect prelude to the main event. Oh boy, did we have trouble choosing a cake from the selection. Despite it being the Bluebell's super special first birthday, you will always find such a plentiful selection of cake, including plenty of gluten free selections and it really was a delight to hear about just how many cakes and gluten free options they prepare daily. Today, there was Lemon and Coconut, Cranberry and Orange, Carrot...Would we like to have a peek at the selection? Oh, mama! Now we're talking. They look delightful. Every single one of them. After far too much time spent making a decision, I go for the Lemon and Coconut. My friend and I do a swap (always the best thing to do in these situations!) and I get to have a nibble of his slice of the Cranberry and Orange. Mmmm. They're both so light and with just the right amount of sweetness. I genuinely can't make up my mind which I liked best. Just perfect with the Japanese cherry green tea I had to accompany the afternoon sugar fix. If you asked me where to go for tea and cake in Stirling a few days ago, I might have told you to just hop on the train to Glasgow. That would have been silly of me. And I hope you didn't listen. - Do go to the Bluebell Tearoom. And take me with you!

Wonderful home baked cakes, great dry cured bacon and scotch pancakes, daily roast sandwiches made with honey and oat bread and served with gravy. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant food! The only thing better than the food here is the service. Lisa treats her customers as though they were family and you won't find a warmer welcome anywhere in Scotland. Fantastic! Highly recommended.

First time for me but a couple of the other had been prior. Service from the start was nice. Called for a table on a Saturday night which was available as they told us that the rush cleared out not that long ago. Menu was quite impressive. So much to choose from. It was a mixture of Chinese, Japanese, Korean and plenty of other dishes that I've never even heard of. Obviously what we get in the states is completely different from what you get in the UK. Food was good, it didn't take long to arrive. Some dishes were a bit different from what I'm used to but it was good. Overall, I did enjoyed my meal.

We all agreed it was just not very good. We not only decided t not order from them again, but we threw away the leftovers. The menu had quite a bit of variety and we really wanted to like it, but the quality just wasn't there. The steamed prawn dumpling and shu mai combo was tasteless and cold. Beef and broccoli was so salty that no one finished it. The rice was very dry and you got i small cup that came with it for 2 cups of a dish. Bad ratio. Pork chow mein had a funny after taste ....One of our group tried the sushi and said it was old tasting so she didn't finish it. Just a bust on everything. However, the woman who answered the phone was friendly and happy to take our order. We also had it delivered as we ere tired from a long day of sightseeing.
