A hearty blend of fresh seasonal vegetables simmered in a flavorful broth.

"during the time of the covid so service was a bit strange, although still charming and effective. but young, oh young was eating well. all my friends and I (5 in total) finished another plate, and the star of it was all the steak pee. by far and above the absolute best steak pie I had ever had so far in the whole of England during my 2 years stay. Five stars only. the location itself is also very charming and welcoming, beautiful even. perfect in the late afternoon and evening."

"On a wet and windy Saturday morning four of us were in need of hearty breakfast. We weren't disappointed. Virtually every eatery in Portree was closed for some reason. As we trudged around town through the wind and rain, the unmistakable smell of fried bacon filled our nostrils. We followed our noses and were led to The Caledonian Cafe. Not long after sitting at a table, we were warmly greeted by one of the staff. She took our order large quantities of fried food, tea and Irn Bru. The drinks soon arrived, followed by our fried breakfasts. Now, I do like a fried breakfast, and this one was exceptional. All of the food arrived without any grease on the plate. The fried egg was perfect slightly frilly and crispy around the edges with a lovely runny yolk. I'd never had a tattie scone or a Lorne sausage before both were delicious. We left the cafe more than satisfied with full bellies and smiles on our faces.... despite the driving rain!"

"great price ratio and the food taste like I have been transported to a little osteria somewhere in rom. the environment is very cozy and informal and not very busy. there were Italian families there that tell me that eating is actually real (we all know how Italians with foods are really demanding, but if a restaurant serves Italian cuisine and it has Italian customers, then it is the real ding safe! it is amazing how even a simple brunette can taste so good! extra points for the carbonara!"

"We had a table booked for 5 last night and our whole party were beyond impressed.My Mam who usually never eats 1 course whenever we eat out, absolutely adored everything she ordered (all 3 courses) as did we all.Would recommend the 10oz steak and the Angus steak burger, perfect chunky chips and of course they do sticky toffee pudding everything was well cooked, staff were lovely and friendly.Very Covid-19 award with appropriate measures in place. We will be returning and give it a big thumbs up!"

"I had a mixed experience at Latino this week, as I visited twice. The food was excellent on both occasions, but the service and atmosphere varied. During my first visit, the service was just right - not too slow, not too fast. The restaurant was not very busy, and Astrid, the server, was lovely. We conversed in English and Italian, she asked all the right questions, and was very welcoming. I left a positive review on the feedback card. However, on my second visit, despite my previous good review, the service was cold and efficient. I had made a reservation for 7:30pm, arrived at 7:20pm, and had my food on the table by 7:30pm. I had ordered a wine to start and one for my meal, but they both arrived at the same time. It seemed like they were in a rush to serve me. Astrid was still pleasant, but the two gentlemen who served me seemed more focused on getting me to pay and leave. I mentioned this difference on the feedback card, but received no response. The reason for my average feedback score is due to the inconsistency in service between the two visits. In conclusion, the food was fantastic, prices were fair, and overall it was a pleasant place to dine. Kerr WELLS."

"My husband and son and I decided to stop here for lunch one Monday. We arrived just after 12pm. Sat down, had our drinks and food order taken and my little boy needed to use the toilet. My husband took him to the public toilets which to his utter disgust where completely blocked and disgustingly dirty. He then tried to take him to the restaurant toilets and they where pretty much the same! Could not use them. He alerted a member of staff and it wasn’t even acknowledged and I took him to the female restaurant toilets which where not as bad but had definitely not been cleaned. We again spoke to what was meant to be a young girl duty manager. Her response was oh the cleaners mustn’t have been in?? Seriously? Is there not checks done before opening? If environmental health had of shown up they would have been shut down. We only ate our food because we had already ordered. My husband decided to email to advise of the dirty standards and never got a response, hence now the review. Absolute disgrace. Standards have dropped massively."

"Celebrating my wife’s 30th birthday at this restaurant was absolutely amazing. I was really stressed about accommodating such a large group, but the staff blew me away with how helpful they were. Huge shoutout to Katie and Luke – they went above and beyond to make sure we were all comfortable. They even helped carry our enormous cake, which was no small feat! Their effort truly made the night special for everyone."

"I can't stress how amazing this restaurant is. we came from birmingham and looked for a place to eat so, we went randomly on google to search for restaurants and came over this. the position of him perfect, I love how it is in the middle of a park. the man who served us was so sweet and friendly that is something that I will never forget, he made sure that we were good all our time there and even put a portable heating next to us to make sure we stay warm. the food was nice, thanks to the cook, the decor inside is beautiful, all about it makes it so welcome. I have never found such a place before me and will be visited again in summer. Thank you again."

"We were fortunate to find a couple of available tables at this popular café in the dales during peak lunchtime on holiday. We ordered the delicious falafel wraps and a sourdough hummus open sandwich with red cabbage and olives for my son. He absolutely loved the red cabbage, and the sandwich transformed what could have been a typical lunch into a hearty meal for him, thanks to its generous size and appealing presentation. The side salad was nicely arranged and included some seeds, but it felt a bit unnecessary since my wraps came with a similar salad garnish. We didn't try the one vegan cake because it seemed quite pricey. I think we ended up ordering more than we actually needed (his smoothie and the salad), and each item was on the expensive side. Next time, I might explore the other two nearby places, as we frequent the Retreat quite a bit. It’s usually better in Grassington during the winter on weekdays."

"Had dinner here 30th June 2023 by way of celebration for our son graduating from Queens University, his choice! We have been before as often as we can being from distant Tyrone and quite simply are never disappointed! Warmly welcomed as always, usual dilemma of what to choose for my wife and son and straight down to business. We all enjoyed a simple pre starter with our drinks and then ordered. We all had the tempura prawns and vegetables which were simply exquisite before devouring haddock in my case, risotto with scallops for my son and the boss had a piece of baked cod which looked monumental! The Deane lager is to die for, as is the house rose and a stinking good coffee to finish! All enjoyed under the ever watchful eye of the owner who patrolled religiously as he always seems to do. Not hard to see why standards are maintained and cannot wait to return again as we undoubtedly shall. Not in any rush to take payment and get you out either. Superb meal, many thanks! Oh and by the way, I am not a fish lover normally, but I will happily make an exception for excellence!"

"up here on business (due) lol so wanted to try somewhere else. so pleased that I did. I had the aloo dum (spicked kartoffeln with ground solitary) as starter. kartoffels were cooked beautifully, really delicious flavors and a decent portion size. then it was dal bhat tarkari (vegetarian (specify they are vegan as the black lenses are cooked in ghee so that they do them red lenses that a traditional all-time classic Nepalese meal of rice, kartoffeln, bambus shoots curry (aloo tama,) saag (veg) lens soup called dal. sat with black or red lenses (see commentary re black lentils super tasty, eating had not made me smile for old, that did. the best I had for years. the personal was brilliantly knowledgeable and was pleased that I enjoyed eating."

"This was our first visit since the ferry changed hands. The biggest change for us was the food. The food is different but still good! We went on a Saturday, so can't comment on the Sunday roast but we tried a fair sample of the plates. For starters, we had a soup and a pate. Both went down very well. The soup was a vegetable soup, thick and dull of veggie chunks. The pate was a generous wedge. For mains, we had a steak and kidney pie, fish and chips, half roast chicken, and a fish goujon sandwich. The pie was well filled and a suet pastry for a change. Fish and chips, a fair portion and light looking batter. The half roast chicken was a fairly large bird and the fish goujon sandwich was well filled and tasty. Dessert was a sticky toffee pudding- nice and light, and a fruit crumble with custard, slightly tart but a nice balance against the custard. Service was fast and the team were friendly. We will be back to try the Sunday roasts soon! Price per person: £40–50 Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5"

"This is a café and restaurant with a very nice charming atmosphere. The food is tasty and the price is good. The best is the decoration. It is diverse and you might think it does not fit but this is the special thing in here. If you don't like it when you enter, stay away. All others will love it and will always come back. Then, if you sit there and watch the time go by, drink your coffee and just enjoy life, you will leave full of energy."

"Asked for a late check out and was told that they don’t do it, and you need to be checked out by 11:30 the latest but was assured when booking that there was a snug area that I could hang out in. There’s not a comfortable area. Most of it’s just hard wooden seats. I’ve got to hang around until 7 o’clock this evening. I will need to go and find another pub that has a cosy chair. For me to sit and do some work from until my evening appointment bedroom is clean, tidy, modern breakfast I would’ve liked more than one piece of toast parking is a little bit of an issue as well. Have to be over in the car park by 8 am to feed the meter. Oh and the iron ruined a white polo shirt that actually cost twice what my hotel room did."

"I was visiting Warwick with the wife for our wedding anniversary and wanted to find a nice restaurant, La mesa came high on the Reviews and some times you have to take TripAdvisor with a 'Pinch of Salt ', I looked deeper into the internet and found some food critic who gave excellent reviews so had no hesitance in booking...... and we were not disappointed! This is a small and cosy restaurant, ideal for couples, a small group of friends or a business dinner. A 6 course taster menu (only option and changes every night) prepared to the quality most people dream of and only see on TV, and all for a modest set price. neighbouring tables had allergies or food preferences and this was also covered for! Don 't ask me what ingredients and herbs and spices accompanied the courses, that is explained as it was served, but I can tell you that we had a Spicy Chicken Soup, Buffalo Mozzarella on a bed of Seaweed, a large Pork meatball, Giant Prawns on a bed of Risotto, Slow cooked Lamb with a truffle mash and a creamy sugar glazed dessert. Washed down with a couple of bottles of Rioja and a Spanish liqueur compliments of La Mesa! I would 100% recommend La Mesa, fantastic food, great atmosphere, warm, welcoming and attentive staff, great wine and I love the open 'not a show kitchen ' but a creative kitchen! Booking a must and I believe 4-6 weeks in advance!"

"Went during late lunch around 2.30pm and the place was still packed! Didn’t need to make reservations but would certainly recommend to book if going at normal meal times. The lunch menu was absolutely value for money. The mains were priced between £9-£13 for a sizeable portion. Didn’t manage to try the famous dishes like pan fried trout and venison, they were both sold out. Had the pan fried coley and steamed mussels instead, they were both great. The red pepper soup was ok too. The service was quick and efficient. We were seated very quickly and the staff helped to store our luggages in a room. Food arrived quite quick as well. The tables were placed quite close to each other though i would expect that only because its lunch crowd. For those hoping for the castle view seats, there were only 3 tables that allow as such, could try reserving. Nevertheless, the environment is still pretty great with high ceiling and was airy and tastefully decorated. Would definitely recommend for lunch as the price to value ratio is great. The dinner menu is almost double the pricing but it would still be worth it for the view."

"Enjoyed another visit with two friends last Tuesday evening. As expected the restaurant was full, hence the need to reserve a table. Starters scallops with black pudding cream mash potato. Mains Cod in cream sauce and beef medallions. Dessert rasberry souffle. House red wine (Petiit Ballon Rouge) always a good standard at £21.95. Service excellent. Always a pleasure to dine here and take friends in the knowledge that the evening will be enjoyable...."

"came here for a quick lunch. great service by friendly courtesy staff. really enjoyed the fish and chips and the linguins we ordered. the restaurant is very cozy inside with interesting deco, and there are also tables outside when the weather is good. there are also free parking outside, but finding a place might be difficult to revitalize times. free wlan is available. highly recommended."
