Deli Ecosse — Restaurant in Scotland

The high rating for this café is probably for people that are happy with cheap caff food, lots of bacon and sausages, at gourmet prices.

The person who rang us up stated there was only one bathroom and that it was occupied. ("Sorry!"). Walked into the restroom- definitely was not occupied 🙄.
