The question we have been asking ourselves since visiting Cafe Gandolfi is.. WHY THE HELL HAVE WE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE?! ๐ฎ๐ We had the most attentive & friendly waitress, she happily answered any questions we had about the menu. The decor has a rather antique feel to it, we think it would be a perfect place to go on a cold, frosty night for a warming meal & a glass of vino ๐ด๐ท<br />

The food -<br />

Miss Diner ๐โโ๏ธ<br />
<br />
Starter (Special)<br />
<br />
Burrata, Black Fig, Savoury Granola, Crispy Sage & Honey, Lemon & Thyme Dressing.<br />
<br />
Easily one of the best dishes I have ever eaten ๐คค The flavours were insane! Please make this a permanent dish ๐ A must try!<br />
<br />
Main - Peat Smoked Haddock, Crushed Potatoes, Mustard Cream, Poached Egg.<br />
<br />
Really enjoyed this dish, the fish was so fresh! The poached egg worked really well with the fish ๐ The potatoes were lacking slightly in seasoning for me.<br />

<br />
Starter - (Special)<br />
<br />
Isle of Barra Scallops, Chestnut Veloute, Smoked Bacon, Apple & Maple Syrup.<br />
<br />
Scallops were perfectly cooked, full of flavour. Lovely smokey taste from the bacon & a slight sweetness from maple syrup ๐<br />
<br />
Main - Pulled Ox Cheek, Charred Greens, Shallot Ash, Burnt Onion Emulsion.<br />
<br />
We both had a taste of this as we had never tried ox cheek before.. YUM. So tender! Presented beautifully, such a tasty & warming dish ๐ the sourdough bread was a bit too crispy, quite difficult to bite into.<br />
<br />
Miss Diner had to have a dessert ๐ Warm Caramel Shortcake with Isle of Arran Ice cream. HOLY HELL... AMAZING. Like seriously, the actual dream ๐คค making highly inappropriate noises with every mouthful ๐๐ that's when you know that its hit the spot!<br />
<br />
We honestly cannot wait to get back here, truly sensational food & lovely staff ๐ @cafegandolfi<br />
