Visited today 12/5/23 Toasted ham and cheese panini with salad coleslaw and chips The panini was lovely as was the sides BUT when you add the £1.25 for coleslaw and £2.80 for the chips the total then being £9.30 that's a bit much for a toasted sandwich! Especially when you consider the steak pie and chips is £6.99. The steak pie veg and chips was an abomination, chewy beef, very little gravy, veg served in a weird wee dish therefore cold and the pastry was completely soggy as if it had been microwaved, utterly inedible. To be fair the manageress swiftly provided a full refund when informed. So in summary have a toasty
Visited this week and to be fair it was rather late in the afternoon ie 3PM, but in saying that the meals were being cooked to order. We ordered macaroni cheese and chips and were quite happy at the over 15 minutes wait as this meant freshly cooked. When it arrived at the table the macaroni had an obvious skin on it as if it had been sitting awaiting the chips cooking and was certainly not hot. The macaroni cheese would be more accurately described as creamed macaroni as it had very little taste of cheese at all. The chips were okay but again could certainly be hotter. £6.99 for pretty poor macaroni cheese and chips is pretty reasonable had it been worth eating but unfortunately ours was returned for a refund. £1.70 for an extremely small diet coke is simply robbery. Definitely not somewhere I'd recommend although the coffee and cakes...
Read moreI visit this cafe every day as I really think they have the edge on anything else in Glenrothes. I usually stay for lunch, but I had an important appointment today and couldn't stay, but I brought out 2 x Medium Potato and vegetable Soup, which I know will be very tasty. The staff are very nice people and friendly. I have told people about the Cafe Al Fresco when on holiday and three couples have visited and noticed me sitting in the Bistro in the corner as usual reading or eating. 5 STARS from me. Had a brown roll with 3 sausages and onion today 21/02/2029 and it...
Read moreI don’t get why most reviews says it’s value for money. I found it over priced the coffee was more expensive than Costa ! and they charged £1.30 for a cup of hot water. The panini I had was soggy. Chips were nice and my friend enjoyed the homemade steak pie. They still have the Perspex glass up for protection to staff over covid but they all walk out to the seating area to deliver the food so seems pretty pointless these days plus they have difficulty hearing what you are trying to order. All in all nowt special and not on my let’s...
