The 17 best spots for pub grub in Stirling

Great dining experience. Great cross between a traditional restaurant and a more modern one. I hade the steak pie and my wife had the salmon. Both were perfect. Atmosphere was eclectic farm. Food is traditional with a twist of modern. Only complaint would be the drinks were a bit light on alcohol.

Beautiful scenic location in the countryside with eclectic decor on the inside. The food was exceptional, the mango avocado salsa was a surprise favorite all around the table. Salmon was the juiciest I've ever had, with a wonderful crusty sear on the outside. Not pictured is the Banoffee Slice which was absolutely decadent, I'm seriously going to have dreams about it. Also a table favorite. Service was just okay, but the food made up for it. Can't wait to go back!

We booked The Birds and Bees months in advance and I was actually a little surprised when I showed up and my name was on the list. The staff seemed a little busy and tired but Scotland in general appears to have had a long summer of tourism and it's a bit understandable. The food here is fantastic and it's obviously a favorite among locals. Great atmosphere and very comforting. We would certainly return

We were here on Saturday lunch and the restaurant was quite busy. However, the service was fast and efficient. We had sirloin medium which cooked to perfection. Chicken parmigiana was great, melted cheese and chicken was juicy and tender. Fries can be better, we think it’s not flavourful. Sticky toffee pudding was delicious. Nice decor too.

This is a truly one of a kind pub/restaurant the food, decore and staff make it incredibly memorable! We were lucky enough to be served by Katy who attentive, personable and lovely the whole time! We treated ourselves to a spread of the starters and this was a brilliant choice it was a hearty amount of food all as lovely as the rest! We highly recommend the haggis, smoked salmon and sweet potato fries! Thank you all again a lovely meal made better by great staff!

We visited the Birds and Bees on Sunday for lunch to celebrate my birthday. We needed somewhere dog friendly for our two Bostons and we're so glad we found this lovely place. We had two Sunday roasts and a chicken dish and it was delicious. The beef was cooked to perfection and the yorkies did not disappoint. Desert was also unreal, we ordered sticky toffee pudding, Banoffee Pie and they even managed to find a cheeky Apple Crumple for me! As well as the lovely food, what really stood out was the service. Every single member of staff we spoke to was so lovely. They were attentive, professional but also warm and inviting, it really was incrediable service and for that, we'll definitely be back!

Excellent pub overnight stop. You need to buy a couple of drinks for parking overnight, but we ended up eating as the food was not that pricey and btw it was excellent. Toilets till 12am, till the pub closes. Very friendly staff.

The setting is perfect in beautiful Stirling, and the food was very good. The sticky toffee pudding was BY FAR the best I’ve ever had! Looking forward to the next time I get to visit Scotland.

Vacations in Scotland and while visiting Stirling was looking for a coffee place, ended up having dinner because most kitchens close earlier then we are used to. The place was very crowded and noisy, but typical for a pub. It's one of those where you need to sit and order at the bar yourself. The food was good and adequate price.

Went to this pub with my friends after visiting Stirling Castle. Great athmospere in this cozy brown cafe/restaurant. The waiter was super kind and fixed me an iced latte when it wasn't on the menu and the food was very nice! Pretty fun to share and try out small dishes with friends ♡

The place was very clean and bright. Clean bathroom. Fast service and several vegan options. The vegan burgers were very good.

Perfect stop before/after the castle tour! Pub kitchen is tasty, the service is very kind! Classic pub vibes 🔝

Amazing place with very good food and beer Very cheap I was here twice one day😁

Friendly local in the centre of Stirling. Called in for some food and a pint on our first evening in Stirling. Staff very friendly and welcoming and food was delicious. Good selection of beers on offer behind the bar and a warm friendly atmosphere. Nice mix of locals and visitors enjoying the live music while we were in, also lovely to see the bar staff go out of their way to help 2 young overseas visitors who were visiting a pub for the first time.

This place became my husband and my favorite place. The authenticity of this place was captivating! Food was delicious, great price, lots of drink options, inside and outside seating. The staff was friendly, inviting, and very welcoming! We ended many of our nights with a drink here either in the restaurant, the outside patio and in a charming little space with couches that was very quiet and private. Highly recommend if you want to truly interact with locals.

Wonderful pub meal! We had the steak and ale pie and the highland chicken stuffed with haggis. Both delicious and ample portions. Great service.

We went just for eating: The location is great just outside the Stirling castle parking area. The interior is cosy and neat, with a nice, comfortable hearth, I want to say despite burning coal. The service is what you could expect, kind and simple. The drinks are rather pricey, even with the cappuccino being large and the tea being two small portions in one. Clean presentation, though, and the cappuccino was good, as well as the tea, being the standard Scottish blend. The food is where it goes bad. We went for some of the cheaper options as the menu is quite expensive overall, especially if you just want to have lunch. Even if it's nice that there are some cheaper, normal-priced options, it feels like being ripped off.... The steak pie is NOT a steak pie. It is a bowl of beef stew with a bit of pastry on top. I am aware this happens in other places too, and that it is easier for them, but it is just wrong to call that a pie. The pastry was a bit tough on the bottom making it hard to eat without pressing the stew out of the bowl. The beef stew was so overcooked it resembled something like dog food, despite tasting alright. There was no vegetables in it or anything though, just beef and sauce, rather one-dimensional, not a great taste. The carrots and peas were clearly from a jar or can. The peas were dry and the skin was tough, as if it had been standing for a while, or had been microwaved. The carrots were boiled I assume, whereas microwaving them would have been nicer, because now what little taste they had in the jar was replaced by water. Just tasteless and low effort, done cheap but still £14.50. The macaroni cheese looked nice, even tasted as though it was supposed to be fancy, with a distinct ricotta flavour in the sauce. But it was almost as if the sauce had more texture than the macaroni, being completely overcooked to the point of almost being mush. The ricotta in the sauce was also the only taste it had, the cheese on top barely tasting like anything. The thin slice of tomato that had dried out from roasting had the most flavour of anything in both dishes. The only redeeming factor with both dishes was that the chips were actually great. If the rest was like that too, it would have been a 4.5-5 star review. Cannot speak for the entire menu, of course, but the obvious signs of microwave use and low effort do not make me want to revisit next time we visit the castle or Stirling. I feel reluctant to be so harsh, as the staff was nice, but this is accurate with the quality of the food, nothing personal.

Excellent food served by kind people. The ambient is beautiful and the traditional dishes are very tasty. I really loved the experience! I recommend the place to you all.🫶

We only ate at the restaurant and the food was fantastic. Comes out hot and tasty. Order the steak pie 🥧 Try the Haggis ask if they can serve it with mashed potatoes and Drambruie sauce.

Great pub, good atmoshere, and tasty chips. The barladies are also very friendly. Furthermore, the building is beautiful and well placed. A worthy stopping point on your way up to the castle.

Posted online as dog friendly but it's not. Dogs are only allowed in the courtyard outside. Not great with the Scottish weather. Otherwise it's a nice bar with a friendly atmosphere. Won't be going back tho.

Lovely pub and good food. Nice sun trap upstairs. Food is lovely and cooked to perfection. Drinks are reasonable and quickly served. Staff are lovely and can’t do enough for you whatever you need. Will definitely be back.

I decided to go to City Wall to do some studying and grab some lunch for their lunch special (£8.49 for a lunch dish, chips, and drink). The steak and cheese sandwich was alright, the cheese wasn’t the greatest since it was two slices of cheese that wasn’t melted on it. The service was great though! I ordered up at the bar with no wait and they brought me my silverware to my table about 5 minutes after I ordered. I was shocking surprised that the pub wasn’t busy at 12:45 with two major football games going on, so I was able to snag a table almost immediately. I would definitely come for the drinks and maybe different food :)

This fine establishment blew my mind as we stepped through the golden doors thirsty for a pint. The interior of this majestic mind blowing establishment was a thing for the finest newspapers. The bar awakens the senses with its magenta hue and the finest spirits awaken the mind. The cider glasses are so exquisite that I would love to gift one to my grandmother for her glass cabinet. Overall this majestic establishment contributed to a fabulous experience of an evening. Lots of Laughter and love was expressed. As soon as we stepped the atmosphere blew me off my feet and astounded me with its natural beauty and finesse. The wine selection here is just simply exquisite, you must come here! I swear it. Peroni is good, I like peroni from here would have peroni again from here, cheers x. Love the lemon cider, top tier, thank you god ! If I died tonight, I would be content knowing my last moments were spent in this glorious establishment.

Great Pub Quiz!!! What a fab place! The food is brilliant, the staff are so attentive. We were lucky enough to be in attendance at the Sunday Night Pub quiz, it was so well run and the host, Archie, was a lovely young man. The first place prize is £50 bar voucher too! We will be back

Greetings from Czech Republic. We initially wanted to visit the Baker street location, but were recommended the second one, City Walls. They were sadly out of Fish&Chips, but that could be expected as it was rather later in the afternoon. Ordered several beers and ciders and weren't disappointed, although one of us was rather confused as they received a bottled beer but wanted a draft beer. You receive bottled beer under the Beer section in the menu, and right above it, with a small writing and without any bigger title, there is a text that you need to go to the bar to see what draft beers they offer. That is rather unfortunate but the beer was good so no biggie. Other than that the Chicken Kari was out of this world, as well as the Meat pies. Will visit again when our ways cross again! Definitely worth a try! And the lady at the bar was phenomenal and recommended us up to our liking instead of what wasn't available.

We were up here for a small getaway and we were wandering around the city and literally stumbled upon this place.We were intrigued so ventured in.What a cool place with a cosy vibe.The staff were lovely and friendly.Worth a look in

Myself and the University of Stirling Equestrian Club had a wonderful celebratory meal at City Walls last night! 🐎💚 We were there to celebrate our new BUCS teams for the year, and as always, the whole City Walls team made us feel so welcome. They’re incredibly friendly, accommodating, and the food was exceptional (special shoutout to the steak pie and mash – unreal!!). We’re so lucky to have such an amazing sponsor, and we can’t recommend this pub enough. If you haven’t been yet, you need to check it out! 🍴✨

The smell of the log fire caught my attention, and we followed it. The staff are awesome! My dog was made welcome and was brought a fresh bowl of water. The food was delicious! The coffee was really creamy. I ordered three for myself, two while eating and one for the road. I was visiting the area from Livingston, but I'll definitely come visit again, and if I know anyone who's going to Sterling I will highly recommend this place. The music volume was just right, and the ambiance was cosy. Thank you for a very pleasant experience. My son and his partner also thoroughly enjoyed their order from the menu, which has an impressive varied selection, all of which sounds tasty! 10/10

Oh my goodness, this place is absolutely fantastic! The service is so friendly and cheerful, and the fish and chips are absolutely delicious. You won’t be disappointed!

Recently visited Gabe’s for an evening meal with my partner. The restaurant has a very cosy feel and we had a lovely relaxed time here. We thoroughly enjoyed our food (I must highlight the vegan pancakes which were amazing 😄) and could tell it was prepared with high quality, fresh ingredients. Service was great, very friendly and welcoming. Could not recommend high enough.

The sleeper hit of Stirling, just on the outskirts of the city center. Some of the most flavourful food for reasonable prices and great service. The cosy atmosphere is the icing on the cake. I heartily recommend either their steak sandwiches or their meatballs!

Had the Steak sandwich. Amazing filling, chips where skin on hand cut and were lovely. Staff lovely and friendly. Short walk from premier Inn and well worth the trip

The restaurant looked dirty and abandoned from the outside, but we still decided to give it a try. When we entered the nearly empty place around 4 PM, we were immediately told we only had one hour to eat due to upcoming reservations. We were then seated at a small table for two, placed right next to the toilet. The rushed attitude and the poor table location made us feel unwelcome, so we decided to leave. It was clear to us that we weren’t welcome. No problem — we’ll just go somewhere we are.

I went for the braised steak sandwich, and while the combination of sweet fried onions, creamy mushrooms, and tender, juicy steak was spot on, the ciabatta was sadly soggy from all the sauce. I yearned for a crispy crunch with each bite. 🥪🤔 On the bright side, the sandwich was meatier than a Highland cow, and the service was as warm and welcoming as a cozy fireplace on a cold Scottish night. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️ The only hiccup was the price, which felt a wee bit steeper than some other bistro options in the area. 💷💼 Now, for dessert, I indulged in a heavenly slice of pumpkin pie adorned with toasted almonds, an orange caramel drizzle, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. It was like a sweet symphony for the taste buds, a delightful ending to the meal. 🥧🍨 In all, a lovely bistro experience, despite the minor ciabatta hiccup. If you're not penny-pinching, the dessert alone is worth the visit. 👌

While walking around Stirling, we noticed this place advertising "Live Scottish music" so we went back in the evening. It was like an Irish session - lots of musicians playing traditional tunes, some with acapella singing, others just instrumental. We grabbed a pint of cider for £4 and sat down. There was no room in the back where the musicians were, but we grabbed a table in the front. It's a cozy place, but my wife (who has a stronger sense of smell) noted that the place had an unpleasant stale odor to it - a lovely combination of sweat, beer, and years of smoke.

The other day we got caught in the rain and stumbled in the Settle inn, Got a quick pint. The lady who was running it the other day was one the most friendliest person I’ve ever met. Offered to put my coat by the fire because it was wet. Offered dry cloths and an umbrella. This was true Scottish highland hospitality Thank you. help support this amazing local Pub.

A little gem, was here every night over for few days stay in Stirling. Good pints, very reasonably priced, great service(Kerry was so friendly and welcoming), very friendly customers. Loved the Monday night with the music. Departure lounge had some view!

Love it. This is one of the cosiest and warmest pub I've visited in recent times. Absolutely fantastic welcome by the elderly gentleman behind the bar. Peaceful and absolutely quaint looking. There's a fireplace which gives an even warmer feel to the place. Fresh beers and great service. If I visit Stirling in future, there's no way I'm missing being here again.

A superb pub in Stirling, also the oldest. Always a friendly welcome from Leslie & Co. £1 for 3 songs on the jukebox and lots of cask ales on tap. Highly recommended.

Went their several times when I was in Stirling. Nice friendly warm atmosphere, good range of drinks and helpful staff! Wednesday night is Scottish Folk Music night- perfect venue for a great night.

Amazing experience! Wednesday night folk music was one of the best experiences of my life. Extremely talented people in a fantastic venue.

Our small group stayed here last week as we were passing through the Stirling area. The location is pretty convenient with a grocery store nearby and plenty of parking. Our check in was a bit awkward, as you literally have to go to the bar in the restaurant - walking through eating area with baggage - sorry. The staff is very friendly and the service during our supper and breakfast was great. The food was also very good, but we found a few items during our travels that were a bit better. The rooms are clean but maybe a bit outdated. It does give you a great feel to local stay, but if travelling in the summer, be advised there is no air conditioning. This didn't bother us as you can open the window for a nice evening breeze. If you are looking at a longer stay, this hotel is not a short walk to the busy area of the city. Thanks for a very nice stay, and again, a hat tip to your welcoming staff.

I decided to book here when looking for a Scottish restaurant and was glad when I did. First impressions of this place from outside to me looks as if it was a wealthy house. When entering the staff welcomed us and got us to our table. Inside the restaurant looks stunning, clean and cosy. We ordered the scotch egg and chicken goujons for starters. The scotch egg itself WOW it was perfectly cooked with seasoned meat around the egg runny inside and with a crust on the outside. It is accompanied by a chilli jam which was faultless. The main courses were perfect I couldn't find any faults with my meal or service from staff. The prices are also reasonable unlike other restaurants. It's a great place for a good meal the food is top quality and fresh, the only thing I should mention is please have a tracker on you so your loved ones can find you when attempting to go for the toilet.

This was my first time here after a friend recommended it. The place is huge, lots of seating. Staff was also great and super quick and attentive. The food did take a while to come. I waited about 30-40 minutes so was starving. I ordered the Chicken Balmoral. It was good but very black peppery, I was tasting it in my mouth all day. The portion size was decent. Did need a side to fill up though. Had the halloumi fries for starter and they were delicious. They were a little cold when they arrived at the table, but the taste was still good. Overall was a good experience, but wouldn’t say this was my favourite food or be super quick to come back.

Absolutely delicious food, fresh, home made. Ordered chicken Balmoral with vegetables. The chicken was stuffed with haggis; veg was fresh and all meal very hot. Tried Scoth egg and olives - Would highly recommend as well. Easy to park. Lovely setting and friendly staff. Will come back to this place to eat as very sensible priced.

This was just a quick look in for a roll and vegan sausage and pot of tea (tea leaves mind). Good quality and service. At higher price range for a snack,£8.05, but all good. Nice tea in a nice teapot and cup combo with strainer. Might be posting another review soon as should be eating dinner there shortly.

Had a delicious afternoon tea. Especially the scones were really good. A drink is also included, you can choose between tea, coffee or a softdrink. There is a car park available, which is free if you go to the restaurant. The afternoon tea requires pre-booking.

Perfect stop on a long drive to the Highlands. The slow-cooked beef was pure heaven, and they did me an affogatto for dessert even tho it's not on the menu. Chilled, friendly staff, and the food cooked with skill and love.

Went for a late afternoon meal on a Saturday while staying in the Premier inn next door. Ordered pie,chips and peas. Was disappointed when they put it down in front of me! Thought I'd ordered of the children's menu! Portion was pretty small but still good! Wasn't cheap either!!

Upon arrival, shocked to find that breakfast finished in 5 minutes. We arrived at 10.25am. Wetherspoons have breakfast till 12 noon and even Toby's, who set up for buffet lunch, have breakfast till 11am. So we got the dregs of the mornings servings at the full price, which at £10.99 is far more expensive than Toby's. Staff, it must be said, were terrific, helpful and friendly but that was the highlight of an unimpressive dining experience 🥺

Everything at the place is just perfect for relaxing breakfast n family time. Special thanks to Mr. Kuba who have been so helpful and serving all the food with warmth. He specially prepared delicious omelets for us. Thanks. 😊

Carvery was nice but choice limited,it's obviously a busy place. The meat only one choice left. Advertised as carvery till 6pm but low on choice at 4pm, despite that the meal was nice, really friendly staff.

Staff were very attentive, and the starter was tasty, but for the main meal, I was given a raw burger that I couldn't eat. Luckily, i had cut this in half. This came quite quickly after the starter, so it felt like this was rushed. I did get a refund for this, but I wouldn't eat here again because of the experience with the raw food.

Not been in here for a while. New menu. Plenty choice. Good service at the bar znd serving staff attentive. Quite busy in the bar area where there is a pool table. Unfortunately, the language was not tasteful. Children and adults nearby Bar staff was quick to ask punters to moderate their language.

Well what can I say. To start parking is very good and plenty spaces. As soon as we walked through the door,it was warm,inviting and friendly staff immediately engaged with us. We had the carvery and it was hot and delicious. Very tasty and well seasoned. We will definetly be back! Great prices too! Yorkshire puddings were delicious.

Took my family to Kilted Kangaroo. The interior design for this place is worth seeing. You can see that on the last pic. The service wqs excellent. They gave us a table quick.. and drinks and food came quick. Unfortunately the kangaroo filet I had was very disappointing. The meat was not medium-rare like I asked. The meat was dry. It did not have a distinct taste like I thought it would have. They should also get some proper beef knives. Overall the other meals that my family got tasted good and looked good. Menu has a good variety.. Unfortunately I am rating this based on my personal experience. 7/10.

It’s a lovely place to explore just like you are in Australia 🇦🇺 the decor is quirky but very inviting and fun. The food is freshly prepared, fantastic taste and delicious 😋 it’s reasonably priced and well portioned. They can get really busy so booking required for peak times. Love to visit again and would recommend this Aussie gem in Stirling

Visited this place twice in 2 weeks for Christmas dinners. The first was with a small group, excellent service and set menu was delicious - I wouldn't normally go for the fish but it was superb! Second time was with a larger group but regardless, the food and service was still excellent! Drinks and cocktails reasonably priced. Function room and second bar upstairs. Great buzz on both occasions. Tricky to find if you've never been before but an excellent little gem of a place!

Cannot fault this place! Truly cracking!! Staff outstanding,food stunning, dogs+kids allowed (outdoors for dogs). Struggled to find a place to cater for both! Very clean, organised so well for social distancing rules so bring a mask! Highly recommended!

This place has a cosy feel to it and the staff is really cool!! They've a wide variety of drinks to offer and not very heavy on the budget. The best part is the lucky draw which you can play for just a pound and win awesome goodies, I was lucky enough to be one of the winners 😁😁

Amazing vibes and great service, I didn’t get her name but we were served by a blonde woman with really nice nails, she was lovely! And the food was good too, as were the cocktails. Overall it was a great experience.

As an Aussie I had to try this place in Sterling and I was pleasantly surprised. A novel approach, decor and atmosphere heaps better than any bodgie old seppo cafe/bar. Good friendly Aussie bar staff, fresh beer, great menu options and bloody good food service 👍. I would have given 5/5 stars 6 even, but there was NO flamin beetroot (or egg or pineapple) on the Aussie Burger, and it was on a Brioche bun...Fair Dinkum! Whats the go fellas?

I wish to report the appalling poor customer service afford us by Kate while at your pub today. We had raised concerns after our meal had not arrived after 35 minutes Then when it did arrive at the 50 minute mark, my vegetables were incinerated. When I asked her if she would eat the vegetables that I had been served her response was: it’s not my meal! No apology nor offer to redress the situation- rather she then dashed to the server window and repeated with glee what she had said to me - first to the chef and then to Nadine ! Loudly enough for us to hear her laughing at her sassy engagement with me! I was enraged. Nadine on the other hand swiftly acknowledged the shocking state of the vegetables and offered to address our concerns- first by giving us a round of drinks and then, after the entire Kate fiasco she refunded us the full price of the meal. Kate is an absolutely abysmal front of house person - she has caused reputational damage to Molly Malone’s brand identity. I have photographic evidence of her spending expending large windows of time on her mobile phone. She failed to engage with customers. If she had been more attentive to customers, most crises could be averted. Kate needs significant training in basic etiquette and customer interaction. She also owes me an apology for her appalling behaviour. I sincerely hope this issue is addressed appropriately.

Recently left a review over the weekend that wasn’t accurate at all. Poor attempt at a joke but genuinely one of the best pubs in Stirling without a doubt. Never had bother from any of the staff and the live music tops it all off.

Perfect meal on a rainy night. Guinness and steak pie was YUM!

On vacation from Canada. Went out on a Friday night. Shout out to Beautiful Meagan who sang us through the night. Got pished. And had an amazing time singing and dancing. Great bar staff as well. Came back the next day for dinner with mum. Had the bacon steak and mash. Incredible. Will return here on my next vacation. If I could rate more than 5 stars I would.

Molly Malone's in Sterling, Scotland, is a charming Irish Pub that offers a delightful combination of good food, cold beer, and sports entertainment. The pub's classic Irish ambiance creates a welcoming atmosphere for both locals and visitors. Whether you're in the mood for a hearty Irish stew or just a pint of your favorite beer, Molly Malone's has something for everyone. With large screens for sports enthusiasts, it's a great spot to catch a game while enjoying the lively atmosphere. The friendly staff adds to the overall positive experience, making Molly Malone's a must-visit when in Sterling. The best mushy peas I have had in Scotland!

Surprisingly decent food and price (I got the Irish stew crock and. Belhaven's Best) given hour touristy the area is and how obnoxiously in-your-face the Irish bar theme is. Feels like it was decorated and the songs chosen by a drunk American on St Patrick's Day.

Very nice bar in Stirling. Sport on TV and live music Saturday night, cracking atmosphere. Will return if in town.

Amazing dishes; pasta, pizza, soup, all delicious. The deserts were phenomenal. It was a meal that lived up to the fancy Italien aesthetic. The Tagliatelle Con Salmone, Pizza Capricciosa, Tiramisu, and Cheesecake are all dishes I would recommend from my experience. The risotto is the only dish that was described as not so phenomenal by another from my group. The atmosphere, dishes, and service all created an amazing meal, which I would recommend to anyone looking for a fancy/classy meal.

Absolutely the best Italian restaurant in Stirling, probably in the county or even Scotland. My wife and I have gone several times and never been disappointed. Staff are always polite and respectful. The portions are very generous, so don't over order or you'll be taking the delicious food home. 2 thumbs up in my opinion.

Had mussels and scallops for starters which was great. However was terribly disappointed in the mains. The vodka Salmon pasta was terrible. The Salmon was cold compared to the sauce which made it obvious that it was added at a later stage. The pasta was clumped together and some bits definitely were raw. The carbonara however was decent. Also asked for a pint which ended up being £9. Definitely would not recommend or come again

We enjoyed an exceptional dinner tonight including the Rigatoni alla Calabrese. It was surprisingly authentic and full of flavor. Great service as well!

This is a popular Italian restaurant in Stirling city center. I would suggest making reservations ahead of time, especially on weekend and evenings. My husband and I didn’t have a reservation either time, but staff was able to locate a table for us which we appreciated! It has a variety of dishes and choices to choose from. We’ve been here several times, being the 22nd and the 30th of August 2024 the last two. We ordered different dishes both times, and we both liked what we had. One thing we have noticed is that there seems to be a staff shortage as the service has been a little bit slower than usual lately, but the staff in general is very polite, helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. These last two times we’ve been there we waited about 20 to 25 minutes for the meal which had not happened before. Food is always delicious and flavorful, a bit small dishes in some specific cases (Vitello al limone is an example of it) though. Prices are more on the higher end, but still reasonable for a meal that is delicious. You can swap the side dish of your meal upon request. Sadly, there is no choice of whole-wheat pasta for those of us that are under certain dietary restrictions which I would love to see change and I’m sure others would love it too. Overall, it’s a good place, nice environment, kind staff, convenient location, tasty dishes, reasonable prices, and the feel of having a piece of Italy in Stirling!

The food was amazing, authentic Italian cooking. There was a slight wait but considering we hadnt pre booked a table on a saturday night - 100% worth the wait. Serloin steak was cooked to perfection.

Excellent food, service, & atmosphere. The tortellini ala bolognese, mixed salad & garlic bread was delicious. I highly recommend. Server "P" & his coworkers are warm & efficient.

As we were walking down the street from our visit to the Sterling castle, I said that I would love vanilla ice cream with coffee on top, and this place appeared! Not only did they have vanilla ice cream coffee but in a huge glass! It was amazing, I recommend! We also had a warm scone but not with clotted cream unfortunately. But it was so good it made up for it. This cozy coffee house has cute decorations, comfy couches (which is rare nowadays in cafes!), and great food. Although you have to order at the counter, the kind staff makes up for it! Lastly, as we were done with our food, some great jazz music started playing, adding to the cozy ambiance. Go for a calm rest after a visit at the castle!

A super beautiful café with a really cozy atmosphere and lovely décor. The food is very nicely presented and there’s a wide selection of cakes and scones – absolutely delicious! The smoothies and drinks are especially great. Definitely recommend, you feel at home right away!

A lovely interior environment, in a beautiful part of the city, on the road coming down from the castle. The staff were friendly and kind. Everything we tried—the coffee, tea, and scones—was delicious. It's worth stopping by.

Beautiful litte Café in the old town of Sterling. Dogs are welcome, the food is fantastic and we enjoyed our stay for lunch a lot. Thank you so much ❤️

Here I had the best cappuccino in all of Scotland. The food was flavorful and well curated. I was so fortunate to stumble on this treasure of a place. Excellent atmosphere indeed and the kindness of the keepers was so welcoming.

Beautiful cafe. Offering many breakfast and lunch dishes. Breakfast is served till 12 noon so we picked good lunch options. Lentil soap is very rich. Spinach and feta crepe comes in a decent portion. Nachos was very good.Their homemade cakes are out of this world. We tried the cinnamon roll cake. Highly recommend. Servers were very friendly and welcoming.

Quirky place to visit with lovely staff,relaxing atmosphere & the best traditional breakfast I've had. Would highly recommend & will be back to visit again.

Corn exchange is a great place to go in Stirling, it is also the better alternative to go to, compared to the local nightclub as the music/djs and atmosphere is amazing and free entry! the drinks are reasonably priced also! My go to in Stirling, this weekend had an amazing lot of DJs! No where else in Stirling has nights like these!

Great wee place for drinks, a good laugh, good music, and amazing service. The bar always has a warm, friendly vibe with a nice mix of locals and new faces. Drinks are reasonably priced, the playlists are spot on, and the team behind the bar really go the extra mile to make sure everyone’s having a good time, highly recommend💓

Went in here last night (Sunday 7th July) as there was a singer on he was good until he started playing the fields of Athens as he was being pestered by barmaid who was working at time and two guys at the bar then had to.listen to pro it's chants during this so immediately left I can see why now there was only about six people in bar.

Had a wonderful evening here listening to live music! The staff were wonderful - they made us custom drinks - and the regulars were fun to chat with, made our trip to Stirling memorable

Brilliant venue, amazing staff and great vibes all round. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a night out in Stirling

Stopped in for a quick gin and a loo break. Nice place. It had just opened so we had the place to ourselves.

Held an 18th for my son in Corn Exchange and the staff couldn’t have been more accommodating! Service and atmosphere was top class and made the night extra special! Thanks again!

Classic hangout and great food I come here with my buddies every couple of weeks to hangout, where the food is great and the staff really look after us. Almost every time I order the chicken gyros, which is a satisfying mix of chicken, chips, sauce and spices. 8/10 I have ordered the double portion once, but honestly it's huge and unless you're super hungry, a single portion is more than enough. My vegan friend swears by the souvlaki

Ate here after visiting Stirling Castle. Food was solid, service was friendly. Great place for a casual lunch. Try their Greek beer, it’s quite good.

This is such a great place. The staff were so lovely. They kept the kitchen open so we could have a meal quite late at night. There’s a great load of options and lots of vegan stuff, and the waiter made a point of explaining the menu to us. The food was delicious. Would highly recommend.

Food was amazing, generous portions! Service was a wee bit slow but the food was well worth the wait. Loved the simple decor.

Brilliant restaurant, have been going for close to 2 years now and is easily my favourite in Stirling. Authentic family run business who are always polite and welcoming. one of the most unsuspecting places in town and you need to try it to understand why it's so good!

The food here is so good. This was one of the best meals I had on my entire trip. And it's very affordable.

Delicious Greek food, great service, friendly staff. I ordered a small Greek salad which was more than enough for me as I was not very hungry. I also ordered a side of humus. It comes with pita bread, but I asked not to bring the pita as it was not wholewheat or brown pita bread due to dietary restrictions. They explained that it was made there, so it was not artificially preserved. My friends had it and it looked amazing and soft! The place is clean and the prices are very reasonable! I would recommend it for vegetarians, too. I would go back!

Great place to stop and re-hydrate before and after walking up to the Wallace monument. Lots of seating and welcoming atmosphere. Minimum charge to use credit card is £5 (or 2 drinks).

There’s this lovely bar where you can catch sports events and enjoy a cold beer. If you need some fresh air, you can simply step outside and admire the stunning Wallace Monument.

Stopped in for a pint after visiting the Wallace monument up the hill. Great little watering hole , especially if you're a local. Great ambiance , decor, and friendly bar/wait staff. The place is nice and clean , and the beer tasted really fresh. I would have happily settled in for the night watching the golf onda big screen TV, but had to move on. Genuine Scottish pub, do yourself a favour and drop in for one at least , ya won't be sorry.

Great pub with a lovely chill atmosphere, friendly staff, and brilliant decor! We just stopped by for drinks on our way back to Stirling central from the Wallace National Monument. This pub was the perfect place to end a wonderful Wallace tour day. Well worth a visit!

An amazing place! Everything you could ever want from a pub experience in Scotland. Local gem for sure. Got adopted immediately by the nicest people, as well as customers and staff! There was Pizza, Ale and even live music. The Pub is 20 years older, as the Monument outside of it, and you can really feel that vibe. A must visit if in the the area.

I have gone to the Wallace on and off since I was 18, I'm now 45 (please don't tell anyone). Chris has taken over and I have to say I am very impressed. The pizza is amazing, simple and tasty. Now the weekend prosecco deal was amazing, £12 a bottle. They have only gone and made it better again with a pizza and prosecco deal on a Saturday 😋🍾. I love karaoke which is on every 2nd Saturday 🎤, if I had to change anything it would be more karaoke 🎤 😁

Here From Canada we quite enjoyed the William Wallace Pub. The staff were all wonderful and myself, daughter and other friends love coming in for a pint and a pizzaa

I didn't get so far as to sample the food here, though it looks nice enough. I did however have a nice little cappuccino, which I took my time over since I had an outside seat with a fantastic view of the street outside the cafe. Ah, Stirling, what a wonder you are!

Early starter before you moved around Stirling city centre. Me and my parents have a delicious coffee, an earl grey tea along with crossaint & rolls

Flavoursome food, well presented. Do Vegan, Gluten free, vegetarian options too. Fresh homemade cordials are refreshing. Good soup of the day. Good service and ambience. They also give away free bread and we will be back.

Lovely place with a nice range of cake, delicious scones and nice small and big meals. The variety of loose leaf tea is great.

I visited for breakfast, lovely staff and food with a number of vegan options available. The chilli jam with the avo toast in particular was delicious and my vegan friends enjoyed their fry-up. The coffee is good too!

Cozy, great staff, and the food was amazing! The breakfast I had was really the best. Thank you!

Their halloumi flatbread is amazing and easily my favourite meal in all of Stirling

This place is amazing. The staff were really nice. They hospitality is 10/10 and the atmosphere is second to none. Don't get me started on the food. Had a bacon cheese burger and chips. The portions were large fitting of the price. I want to give a special appreciation to the staff member TC. He was very polite aswell as funny. He made us feel so welcome and I can't thank him enough.

Disabled person on wheels, here for Pride. I needed to use the bathroom and struggled to find anywhere with an accessible toilet - obviously if this bar had an accessible toilet, I'd then be happy to stay and spend the rest of my night purchasing drinks after going to spend a penny. When asking the bouncer if there was an accessible toilet, I was told it was inside & straight ahead. There, I was met with several stairs after the first few tables - no toilet in sight. I turned back round and went out, said to my partner outside "They don't have an accessible toilet? That was weird." Cue the bouncer, overhearing us, immediately getting aggressive stating that he was obviously directing us to the "Staff Only" labelled door as that had a toilet behind it. He was incredibly defensive and said he wouldn't send me inside unless he knew there was "obviously a toilet on this floor". I said there was no signs except one stating Staff Only, and asked if that toilet had grab rails and a red cord which made it an accessible toilet. A toilet for disabled people is NOT just a loo that happens to have no stairs involved, and most disabled people who use accessible toilets need much more than that to enable them to use it independently. Obviously, a bouncer is not going to allow a female into a toilet with my male partner, so I clearly could not then use the toilet myself. We left and were met with disgusting and snarky comments from the bouncer as we went away. Really disappointing and won't be back. Today was Stirling Pride, and I was dressed accordingly, and I am concerned that we were treated without any sense of respect or politeness on the basis of us being visibly gay.

We were really excited about trying this place for the first time. However we were very quickly brought down to earth with the long, long wait at the bar, I'm talking 20mins. It wasn't even that busy, 2 deep at the bar. The staff were completely inept at managing customers, there was a guy that showed up and was served in a few minutes, I'd been at the bar for 15min at the time! Went to sit down, tables covered in discarded drinks, free tables & chairs covered in poured drinks, you'd think it was 3am, it was actually 9pm! Toilet floors covered in pish, ladies bereft of toilet paper (I'm told), what a shambles this place is. Won't be back any time soon.

Super place and just the best live music!!! Food was lovely and staff pleasant and attentive.

I was so excited to try the food here, and I left so disappointed. We we're waiting over 45 minutes for our food to come, and when it finally did we were disgusted. My burger was burned to the point I thought I was chewing on charcoal, and the fries weren't much better. (I would have sent it back, only I didn't want to wait a further 45 minutes -so we ate it and left). I seriously regret not saying anything at the time because it's really put me off going back.

Great food and fast service. Prices are great as well. Staff are excellent and really helpful. Food was brought fast and great presentation. Atmosphere is brilliant and decor is good as well and lots of large TV screens for any sporting events they are showing and easily seen from a wide part of the bar.

The best fish & chips I ever had after visiting UK third time
