The fish supper usually has two pieces of fish, so you could get one fish supper between two people pretty much. The fritters are also really good and worth trying.

I ordered the Good Morning Breakfast Bap which is a square sausage, egg and bacon in a bap and I have to say it's the best I've ever had. Perfect. Wouldn't change a single thing about it. The chai could have been better, a bit thicker for my taste but still nice. The staff were wonderful and let us sit in before they had fully opened to get out of the cold. The interior is very modern and trendy, and the fairy lights add a lovely touch. Very pleased with this place yet again!

We initially visited Johnston's a few times for the simple fact that it has seats outdoors. At the…read moreright time of day, even as Summer draws to a close, those seats catch the sunshine in just the right way. I've yet to find a better place in Falkirk to enjoy a beer outdoors and I'm going to miss it now that Autumn is starting to make itself more and more obvious. Eventually, we headed inside one lunchtime to try the food. Inside, Johnston's does just as good a job. It;s light and airy, there's plenty of seating (including some upstairs above the bar). We got comfy at a table and chose from their lunch menu. I ordered the fish and chips while my partner went for the steak pie. The fish and chips was enormous. I had thought, since this was the lunch menu, that it would be a slightly more moderate portion. Not that I'm complaining because it was also delicious. My partner loved his steak pie too. They run a loyalty card (although it's new and I'm not sure the system totally works as it eventually will). They offer cocktails and seem proud of their wine list, but they also offer good coffee and cake, as well as their own home made tablet. They cater to groups and parties and they run offers throughout the week, like two main meals for £7.99 on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. So far, as far as I can tell, Johnston's is doing everything right.

On both occasions I have been totally overwhelmed by the incredible cakes and by just how lovely everything is. Last time I was there I got a dirty chai latte - apparently it has both tea and coffee in it, it sounds weird, but it's good and it comes with glitter on top. In the past I've chosen from their tea menu which is extensive and full of interesting flavours. I also chose the soup of the day which came with some lovely crusty bread. Then, having done my duty and eaten some real food, I wandered downstairs to take in the cake selection. I opted for a slice of the white chocolate and pistachio cake, a four-tierd monster of confectionary. It was delicious but very sweet and I'm afraid I couldn't manage it all - fortunately the folk at Tea Jenny's were very happy to package it up for me and the remainder made a lovely treat later that day. I don't think I could go here too often, but I definitely recommend a visit for a special occasion or a treat. It's not quite like any other cafe I've visited.

Thankfully they've opened up a second place, right next door, called Wee Jenny's....Wee Jenny's also has an ice cream parlour which I'm looking forward to trying when it isn't winter... The staff were very friendly and showed us to our table. I ordered a chai and a chicken, bacon and brie panini. We had to wait a little but this may have felt worse thanks to not having breakfast, but considering how many people were there, it wasn't too bad. The chai was nice, it had glittery, simmering sprinkles on top which fascinated me for a while. It wasn't The Best chai ever, but yummy none the less. The Panini again was nice, a little on the plain side, and I would have liked to have been offered side alternatives, however the salad Looked lovely :) The cakes however...my goodness I am going back to sample their cakes.

They are also open at lunch time and charge less but there are only half the amount of dishes available and you need to be careful because even if you come in at 3pm when the lunch menu is on, if you leave after 5pm you will be charged for the evening price. There is a good selection of foods to try and there is fresh food being made all the time. They have a good selection of cakes and fruits to have for dessert as well. The staff are friendly but some of them don't speak very good English and on more than one occasion we have been brought the wrong drinks due to this. They sometimes have a karaoke night at the weekend and while it is good fun it can be quite distracting if you are at a table near the speakers.

Coffee Neuk to the left was the first coffee shop I saw and which stood out from all the other coffee shops around the market place. My first thought was that the prices are high and the food about average, because of the closeness to such a famous attraction. My expectations were "luckily" not fulfilled :-) When I entered, there was nobody at the counter and a couple was sitting near the window in the adjoining tea room. The place seemed deserted, but "oh mei" was I wrong, Within minutes the tea room filled up with people enjoying an afternoon chat with friends or tourists just getting in from the castle visit, like me. I had to order at the counter and was informed that the scones were sold old. Next choice was a piece of carrot cake and a mug of Hot Chocolate, which by the way was a Cadbury Hot Chocolate (just to point it out, as they appear to be very proud of the Cadbury logo). I took seat at a small table (1-2 people max, but really cute) and attempted my first bite of the carrot cake. What can I say? It was not dry, no, it was soft and juicy with a layer of cream cheese topping. The menu choices are limited, but what you get has substance. The staff is very nice, the prices very accommodating ( a lasagna for abt £4 ?!?) and the place very clean. I went to the toilet and when coming back my table was cleaned and no trace of me remained. Ah well, and so I continued forth on my journey back home.........

It's a lot cheaper than some of the other cafes such Ebulum (previously reviewed). But this is really where its charm lies. The staff here are really friendly, though for a Linlithgow cafe that doesn't seem unusual. It is a tad small, but they make the most of the space. Unfortunately at lunch though this place gets pretty popular. Expect the usual sorts of hot drinks, as well as some snacks ideal for lunch. I had the soup of the day which cost me £2.40. That's pretty good, or at least average, for Edinburgh prices. But the portions were bigger than normal and it was served with decent bread. I like to think we Scots are proud of our soup but you'd be surprised how many times I'm disappointed by the poor quality soup served around Edinburgh! Coffee Neuk didn't disappoint though.
