It's open throughout the day, so you can drop in for coffee or brunch; but they really excel at the pre-show dinners. Really nice food that is well-presented with attentive service. Good sized portions too. If you want a classy theatre experience come and eat here beforehand, but allow plenty of time so that you can relax into the genteel atmosphere and enjoy the views across the Clyde.

It was quite busy, with the headlining band eating right among the other patrons, but we were able to find one empty table which was nice. We ordered our drinks and sat down and enjoyed the atmosphere before the concert. This is a huge bistro, plenty of seating for a meal if you're in the area (with or without seeing something on at The Beacon) and plenty of nice staff members around to help. Even though we were only here for a quick drink, a staff member came over to make sure we weren't after a meal. Looking back, it would have been nice to have a bite to eat, as we weren't able to score any solid meal after the event, only drinks. Great place, and I love the star lamps in the windows.

In this area there is no shortage of cafe's dotted around the town, this one stood out with the red exterior and probably one of the healthier places to go. Seemed a nice enough place inside, if you are early enough you can grab something to eat of the breakfast menu that is served until 12 noon. Lunch menu is pretty simple with the usual sandwiches, panini's, salads & filled jacket potatoes, I went for the healthier option and went for the egg mayonnaise filled jacket potato with a coffee, pretty good value at £7.50. Great views over the bay from the dining area, would definitely come back & visit again.

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!

Having had brunch here previously, heading here for lunch was something I was excited about. It was very busy this time round so service was understandably a little slower. We did have a short wait for a table but it really wasn't long till we were seated considering it was peak lunching hour. Oh my word. Sandwich heaven. 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!

The restaurant recommends you make reservations, as it is a very small space, so I wasn't hopeful but luckily it wasn't busy and there were a few tables available. Service was lovely, so friendly and hospitable. We loved hearing our server talk with the locals about their day and all that. Felt really homey and I appreciated that. The food was delicious, presented well and came out super fast. We did not have to wait very long for our breakfast at all. My tea was excellent, I think it was a sea chai or something like that.

This was in May of 2017. I am back visiting in Scotland and tried to order the same thing again and they said they couldn't do it. Which is strange because there is ice cream on their menu. They just gave me a regular iced coffee with ice. I also got a chewy meringue and it was delicious (pictured in the photo). I was pretty disappointed that I couldn't get the ice cream coffee however I still recommend it. It's a very cute spot and you're steps away from the water with an amazing view.

We took a drive out to Three Sisters Bake for a special occasion (Graeme's birthday!) - if you take…read morethe attitude that the trip there and back is part of the adventure, you'll love it. The weather wasn't the best so I found it a little stressful but we found our way there in the end! I think the easiest way to get there is via Paisley/Bridge of Weir but if you like a long drive, you could go via Port Glasgow (ahem). I'd never been to Quarrier's Village before and was keen to get out and explore after lunch but with the rain, didn't have a chance. Quarrier's is like something out of a movie, lots of open, grassy green space and cute houses. It's a really delightful area. Three Sisters Bake is easy to find at the end of Faith Avenue and is one of the most magical cafés I've stepped into in a long time. I was there for the food, but I think the decor won me over just as much. I love the bright colours and attention to detail - this is a real wonderland, the kind of place you only see on wedding blogs and Pinterest. Onto the food. We were there for a long time, so ordered loads of food - the seafood platter to share for starter, and then I had the gourmet cheese on toast. With a heavenly mackerel pate and some seriously juice prawns with chilli and coriander this was a great way to start off a long lunch and made a good size starter between two. There was also some really soft and smooth smoked salmon on the board which I scoffed up while Graeme wasn't looking. The cheese on toast was way more fancy than I'd expected and came with a smothering of rocket - probably one of my favourite green things, so I was well chuffed. There was also leek hiding under the mature cheddar which definitely upped the age limit of this cheese on toast. For desserts we had a look at the cake counter but as I don't have much of a sweet tooth, I initially wasn't fussed. That was until I overheard the waitress delivering coconut and lime tart to the table behind me. I love coconut and lime! I tried to order it but that was actually part of their wedding tasting menu, not a dessert they were serving that day. But the delightful waitress went to check, and got a slice just for me - what a gem! Service was impeccable, friendly and warm and you can tell they all know a lot about the menu and that all the food is freshly prepared. I'm not sure I've managed to do Three Sisters Bake justice, but one thing I do know for sure - if you haven't been, you really need to go!
