There's a variety of small round and square tables and soft-seated dining chairs (perhaps the tables are slightly too close together but this would only be a slight issue when the cafe is full). There's a nice blue carpet throughout, pretty floral pictures on all walls, shelving units with ornaments, good lighting, a long counter with mirrors behind and delicious looking cakes under glass (I didn't succumb on this occasion!!) apparently everything is home-baked. There are breakfasts served all day, from eggs on toast and full cooked meals to honey toasted Granola. Lots of 'light bites' and full 'Hot Plate' lunches on offer too, plus salads, baked potatoes, sandwiches with imaginative fillings (£4.95-£5.50) and a special 'soup and a sandwich combo' (£5.95). There's a children's menu too. Lovely desserts as well including ice cream sundaes. Largs is a great place to find good quality ice cream, thanks to the Italians there! There's waitress service in the cafe and the lady who served us was very pleasant. The pop music playing on the radio was slightly irritating and didn't seem to fit the surroundings somehow, though at least it wasn't loud!

Definitely the most famous eatery in Largs. Known for its…read morefish and chips, sandwiches and coffee. It's famous for its Italian ice cream where you'll find the locals eating it all year round. Worth a visit

And another reason to go is the interior. It looks like something from Jay Gatsby's New York and I imagine it will be a big hit in the coming months when Gatsby fever takes over. I love Nardini's so much. The ice cream is what I imagine clouds will taste like.

We were told that this place had changed ownership a few months ago, and was getting good local…read morebuzz, so we thought we'd give it a try. Attentive and friendly service, good food quality, enough menu options for everyone's needs, and a scenic view that can't be beat. I had the haddock supper with chips and peas, husband had the gammon steak with egg, chips and peas. We both liked our dinners enough to think about going back for their full breakfast. Not cheap, but not expensive either. Nothing too fancy here, but definitely worth a visit for something slightly different from the standard pubs on Main St. when you're in Largs-- especially if the sun is out and you can sit on the front seaside patio! Nobody else has this wonderful view! P.S. It's now called the Green Shutters Bistro...

On a lovely sunny day in Largs we popped in here for a drink and a sit down, and it made the ideal…read morespot to people watch. My friends daughter was hungry so opted for a kids mac cheese and chips which went down really well while we just had some soft drinks and coffees. There's the usual fare on the menu - main meals, sandwiches and icecreams and some good veggie options. Although we weren't eating we did clock the prices which seemed pretty steep. Some butter tablet icecream ( one kids scoop) was £2.50 which did seem pretty cheeky. Our small coffees were over £2.50 each but we didn't object too much given we were enjoying the chat and the view. We did laugh at some of the other prices though - £3.10 for a breakfast roll and egg and 80p for a single digestive biscuit! I must admit the young guy serving was a gem - really smiley and enthusiastic, but I do think that this place is taking liberties with its prices. But when you're having a day out by the seaside, price isn't that important!

We've now tried all the cafes in Largs and this is, without doubt, our favourite!! If someone…read morehadn't told me about it I may have missed it (terrible thought) as it's a short way up a side street off the main shopping thoroughfare (nearly opposite the Nicolson Maps shop). There are clean, polished tables for two or four people and there's lots of space. We had a seat in the window which was very nice. Every table had a (real) red rosebud in a small vase which was a lovely touch, there was soft music playing, and there was a warm and pleasant atmosphere. The owner was particularly friendly and welcoming. The home baking is fresh and truly gorgeous. My husband said the Bakewell tart was the best he'd ever tasted (high praise indeed coming from him) - and that included the one he had in the town of Bakewell itself!!! As for my large Empire Biscuit, well it was also the best I've had (they are my favourites and I always eat them when in Scotland!) as it was fresh, thick and crumbly (usually they are quite hard). They do a great selection of freshly made lunches too from salads to toasties. The substantial and delicious soup with a sandwich is only £6.95. The coffees are extremely good and come with some pieces of homemade Scottish butter tablet on the side of the saucer. We had hoped to eat there again but sadly ran out of time this trip. Next time we're in Largs we'll go straight there for lunch. Only wish I was allowed to give it more than 5 stars as this cafe is in a league of its own!!

Part of my 2008 review: I wasn't impressed by this restaurant. Such a stupid choice of name - it…read moresuggests a vegetarian restaurant, yet there is scarcely a single vegetarian choice! Vastly overpriced too. UPDATE 2011 Unfortunately still not impressed. Went there the other day for breakfast. We ordered two things but both were completely wrong when they arrived. I imagine the waitress didn't listen because I have a very clear speaking voice. I ordered scrambled eggs and toast and I asked for an egg roll for my husband with the egg very well done - as hard as possible. My scrambled eggs arrived adorned with rashers of bacon across the top - definitely not something a strict vegetarian of 25 years wants to see!! I asked for fresh scrambled eggs - I didn't want the bacon just to be removed (as happened somewhere else once which left the eggs tasting of bacon fat). Of course, I then had to wait a while for this to be done. When it arrived it seemed to have been thrown together without too much care because there were bits of egg shell and concentrated salty areas amongst the egg. However, I didn't want to send it back a second time so ate it anyway. As for my husband, well, his egg roll arrived fairly quickly. He turned it sideways to bite into it and the liquid yolk flowed out onto the plate. So he sent that one back and had to wait for another. When it arrived it was fine. The girl was reasonably pleasant but the man serving (Max?) was friendlier. I daresay they thought we were a real nuisance but they did their best to put things right. We found the cafe a bit cramped but, apart from that, it was a pleasant place to sit. There was nice decor and it was bright and cheerful with the sun coming through the long window beside the street. There was jazz music playing at a sensible level which was nicely atmospheric. Free newspapers to read as well. It's next to the huge car park near the ferry and on the edge of town so a very good position. The menu offered a lot of choice throughout the day (breakfast 9-11.30; lite bites 3.30-5.00; dinner from 5.00 and open 7 days a week too. For my fellow vegetarians, there a veggie breakfast available (£.5.50). Later on there's macaroni cheese, baked potato with cheese, and omelettes. The wine menu is good too and there are lovely desserts, cakes and pastries on offer. I must admit I wanted everything to be as near perfect as possible because I was looking forward to updating my first review (which I have just shortened). It's a shame to have had a poor experience again. They might just have been having a bad day which can happen to us all occasionally. We'll see what happens next time!

The cafe also has a massive array of cakes on display in the glass cabinet. There is also a wide choice of ice cream favours available.

Overall a friendly place with good food and excellent coffee... you can't ask for much more than that... It is important to note that this establishment does not take any type of card payment.... very odd these days, and can be quite inconvenient.
