Rascals Cafe — Restaurant in Scotland

Hurried in here from the rain, but were drawn by the 4.9 on Google reviews.  I think people must have gone to a different place.  Very poor value for money (and we're from London!).   Limited menu with too many meat substitutes and not enough actual vegetables.  Starter sized portions for main prices.  The chilli sin carne was particularly measly and was literally served in a tapas dish for £11.50 with about 10 value tortilla chips.  Children's menu expensive and didn't even come with a drink .  £7.50 for tasteless macaroni ch*se that could have easily come from a tin was poor. Even some nutritional yeast would have helped or some garlic bread with it.  My broccoli salad was alright with some marinated tofu for an extra £2 but I think there were two small florets in there again the portion was modest for £13.50 in total. My soy flat white was rather sour I think because the milk was overheated and may have separated which is a bit embarrassing for a vegan cafe.  Nice ambience and service was top notch.  Reducing prices, increasing portion size considerably and trying to get a few more people through the door and this place might survive, otherwise it doesn't deserve to I'm afraid. Won't be back in a...

Came in for a little birthday lunch and, my goodness, I had such an amazing time! Everyone is so friendly and lovely, so off the bat we felt incredibly welcome. It’s wonderful when the food is not the only highlight. Speaking of the food, however, it completely exceeded my expectations. I’ve been craving an onion soup for a while so I had to order that as a starter. It was the most flavourful, perfectly balanced onion soup I’ve ever had. If you have some free time for lunch, go in just to experience it. For mains we had the arancini and risotto, which were equally delicious and well thought out, but the soup was a particular stand-out for me. Also, brilliant chips. And tons of lovely cake options (yes, we had a big lunch). This was our first visit but I am very much looking forward to trying more from the menu. Soo many gluten free options as well! My husband was delighted. Do not go in expecting your average avocado-on-toast-cafe. The chefs are exceptional and this is truly well thought out food made with love. I am sorry for gushing lyrically for ages, but I had such a...

Everything was excellent! Delicious soulful food, welcoming brilliant staff, lovely thoughtful decor, and beautiful ethos behind it all (including the social enterprise element of it, supporting vulnerable children). My partner said his burger (which had vegan haggis in it!) was the best burger he's had. "it revived my soul", in his words! Mac & cheese was filling and very tasty, excellent side salad, great coffee (partner is a coffee snob so his accreditation is gospel😂) and proper loose leaf tea, topped off with warm chocolate fudge brownie and ice cream. We even had cakes and shortbread to go! Very reasonably priced. Love it, thank you...
