Legends at The Monument — Restaurant in Scotland

We had lunch here yesterday, Saturday, and it seems to be a busy place all day long or at least it was yesterday. It was busy when we got there and also busy when we left. They have a good variety of sandwiches and sweets. Sandwiches are all served with a sal and and their own coleslaw. My husband ordered a Bacon Brie and cranberry sandwich with a cinnamon cream cake (I’m not sure this is the correct name) and he liked it a lot. I ordered a Mozzarella, tomato and pesto sandwich and I loved it too. The side salad was good. The coleslaw was tasty, but too creamy in my opinion. This seems to be a constant around here as it has been the same in other restaurants. You can choose different types of bread as there are choices available. This was good to know and I had a seeded brown bread instead of the white one. It was delicious! The cinnamon and cream cake had a good taste, but it was super sweet! So much that my husband, who loves sweets, couldn’t eat it all. Other than that, food was great! As for the people working there, they are super nice and very willing to help and give you information (in case of food allergies or specific dietary restrictions). The place has an inside and outside area. Dogs are not allowed in the inside area, but they are welcome in the outside one. You don’t need to go to the monument to eat here as this is located at the start of the walk up the monument. Prices are reasonable. It’s a...

I have climbed Wallace Monument many times when growing up but this was the first time I visited the cafe underneath, as I was visiting with a friend from abroad.

I can honestly say I think the soup I had is the best bowl of soup I have ever had. It was leek and potato and wasn’t creamy, instead in a clear broth and it was excellent.

I had a toastie with gluten free bread and it was also very good. There were plenty of veggie and gluten free options and I would return in a heartbeat.

The staff were super friendly and it wasn’t fancy or pretentious in any way. It was clean, welcoming and the food was great Scottish food that you want on a cold day - soup and a sandwich. They also do baked potatoes and toasties and loads of cakes too and everything was very well priced. No tourist trap here.

A WASPS PARADISE. I was forced to decapitate a wasp as it violated my coleslaw (coleslaw 10/10) the atmosphere was electric I did however find it hard to hear. However, I am partially deaf, which may have explained my trouble hearing. Ordered an iced drink was told ice was a 7 minute wait so was always off to a bad start. I then asked for a simple cheese and chutney baguette to be told later about the great Stirling baguette shortage of 2025… so had to settle for a standard sarnie. Once my sandwich arrived you can imagine my disappointment to find 3 grains of grated cheese. Only to be told by the staff about the great Stirling cheese famine of 2025. Coffee and chutney were delicious. 10/10 would...
