They also had a couple of small sandwiches to eat. On the other side they had main Chinese food. So overall they had a LOT of options. We chose the northern hot beef, beef tender soup noodles, Singapore rice noodles and a hot chocolate and a slice of apple pie for desert. The hot chocolate and pie arrived immediately and looked absolutely wonderful. As we kept waiting for the main dishes, we couldn't resist and we finished off both. The apple pie was fresh and had that wonderful crisp taste with the right amount of crust and not too much sugar. The hot chocolate was the perfect mixture of frothy milk, milk and chocolate. We had to add a bit more sugar though. We ended up waiting a good 27 minutes for the food to arrive. Now normally this wouldn't be that bad but since we were on a tour, our bus gave us an hour to finish our lunch. It took us about 12+ minutes to find the place leaving us only 20 minutes to eat and no time to look around. This is a tourist area so it would be better if they can manage to get their food out earlier. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious and had great flavor. The staff was very understanding and helped us fuss around trying to get everything ready to take with us. We will definitely recommend this place and go again if we have some more time!!

We spent nine days in Scotland and hadn't yet had a British breakfast? How the hell did that…read morehappen? The more surprising thing is that this oversight hadn't even occurred to us until we sat down for lunch at the Bridge Cafe and saw that a couple of different breakfast plates were on option. It was not too late! I think we both went with the "Wee Yin," which was only £6 and came with an egg, meat (lorne sausage for me), bacon, a tattie scone, beans, and toast. I don't think I have a small appetite, but this was plenty. (The "Big Yin" adds additional good stuff for £2.5 more: haggis, black pudding, and mushrooms. I'd have to wait till the next morning to get some haggis and black pudding...) This was simple but hearty eating, and very satisfying at the midpoint of a drive from Skye back to the Edinburgh area. Spean Bridge is a charming little place, and this spotless cafe is colorful, has plenty of natural light, and a cheerful air to it. At one point, a couple of the young servers picked up instruments (acoustic guitar and accordion) just behind us, and I thought we were going to be subjected to acoustic jam versions of pop songs, just like those dreaded at a certain chain sandwich shop in the States. But this was pretty great, just an interlude of a couple of sprightly yet gentle instrumentals, and then they were back to their tables. Excellent spot.

I ordered a plain Margherita pizza and they had a selection of craft sodas, drinks, beers when you walk in. They also had other random things to buy (cheeses, wines, chocolates, snacks, etc) which took up a lot of room that could have extra tables added in place of. Food came out pretty quickly and I really enjoyed my pizza. I got the lavender lemonade and that was also delicious. This place closes pretty early so mostly just a lunch spot.

For £3.85 you get a cup of soup and ham or cheese sandwich with lettuce, tomato, pickle, mustard, etc. The soup was cream of mushroom, heavy on the cream, but with enough bits of mushroom to know that it's there. For the sandwich, I chose ham with mustard and pickle, which got some interesting looks from the man behind the counter (for the Americans reading this, these aren't kosher dill slices of pickle - it's more like a chutney). It wasn't much, but after a full Scottish breakfast, including haggis that morning, we just needed a wee bit to stop the growl. All the ingredients were fresh. They've got lots of meats and jarred food stuffs for sale, but we weren't in any position to take such items with us, nor to have it shipped.
