The Golden Larches - Stirling

Great wee cafe. Stopped here as it was snowing and nowhere else was open. Owners are fab and the food was lovely. Only one tiny little bit of feedback…the chips could definitely be better.

Always look forward to stopping off here on our way up north. Andrea and Tim are lovely hosts. Food is always delicious and fresh. Lovely and clean too. Give it a wee visit next time you’re passing, you won’t be disappointed!!

We had the pleasure of visiting the Golden Larches on Sunday, the 28th. As soon as we arrived, we were warmly greeted by the owners, Tim and Andrea. The hospitality and service was brilliant. We enjoyed our lunch – I had the delicious homemade soup, followed by freshly made ham salad sandwiches. My husband couldn't stop raving about the homemade smoked fishcakes and plans to order them again on our next visit. We're already looking forward to returning in the summer when we pass through Balquider. The Golden Larches is a gem that we'll surely visit again.

We arrived at the Golden Larches in the torrential rain that brought much of Scotland to a standstill on the weekend of the 7th October and were greeted by Tim (one of the owners) in the car park with two umbrellas for us! The cafe had a lovely stove fire burning which we sat by to dry out a little. Tim Andrea have worked hard to make a cosy cafe/restaurant and they are friendly and welcoming. Food was so tasty, we had a Full and a Small Scottish breakfast. Everything was cooked perfectly. Would highly recommend stopping by if you are passing. Cannot recommend this place highly enough. It has been under new management for 12 months so disregard any negative comments you might find prior to this! Good luck for the future Tim Andrea.

Great spot by a small river to have breakfast at on our way from Edinburgh to the Highlands. Family run restaurant. We sat outside and had a great view. The owners were very nice and helped us with directions.
