We called into the Westgate for coffee before travelling onto Edinburgh for the day. It was certainly quite bright and full of atmosphere - lots of Diamond Jubilee activities and cakes!

Favorite Dish: Try a cheese scone!

After a day in Edinburgh, we made our way back to North Berwick, enjoyed the sunshine and then called into No 12 Quality Street for coffee and dessert.

It was a pleasant place, however I have to say that there was an incredibly strong smell of fish and seafood. As we were by the seaside, I am sure that is no surprise to anyone - however I am allergic to both so it was a little off putting.

The Cafe is situated in a Gift shop and art gallery.
We wanted a cup of tea and something to eat, so ordered scones.
Other people were tucking in to delicious looking meals.
The surroundings were interesting and the service was fast.

Favorite Dish: We ordered scones. plain or fruit, with butter or cream , and jam. All were equally dekicious.

Liked the decor in here - not your typical Indo-Pak style.

Sunday (when I was there) they have a buffet for £9.95 p-p. Exactly right for me, as it enabled me to try a couple of things. The choice was not huge, but certainly enough to keep me happy and great value.

One thing I liked was that the nan bread (included in the price - at least the plain version is) was a sensible size for 1 person - not like those things the size of a giant tennis racket you often get.

The onion pakora was super - not like the 90% flour offerings you get most places.

Service - hard to be sure with a buffet, but efficient and pleasant as far as I could tell.

Young guy (well, 30 something) at the table beside me went up for main course 3 times! No wonder we have an obesity problem. By the time I'd had starter, some rice and small portions of a lamb and a chicken dish (not even covering my plate) plus the nan bread, I was 100% full.

I'll be back!

Favorite Dish: The lamb dish with green beans in it. Aromatic and spicy, plus the lamb was really tender.

We just stumbled on this place while I was helping a friend on a house hunting trip. Turned out really good.

We both had mussels - you can choose 1kg or 2kg - and 4 different recipes. I had the marinière. Loved it.

Owners are friendly and helpful - OK, it was quiet. But still. A word of warning - they're retiring and the place is on the market.

They have a tapas menu which would also have been a great Sunday lunch, as well as a fish orientated a la carte menu.

Cost £15 each - main course plus coffee & water.

Favorite Dish: Mussels!

Its a self service cafeteria in the RSPB Seabird Centre. Good sea views, and you can sit outside on the terrace if you're ready for hypothermia.
Feels a bit frantic and claustrophobic.
It cost me £15 for 2 regular, basic sandwiches, 2 soups (with bread) and 2 drinks (water & fruit juice). It seemed very expensive for the type of place. Soup was £3.25 a shot!

Favorite Dish: Excellent carrot and orange soup. Fresh and hot.

Thai food in the evening. Coffee shop during the day!
Small, friendly place. I used to be in quite often (say 8/9 years ago) but certainly not for the last 7 years.
Walked past it last week (August 07) and its still there, so they must be doing something right!

Favorite Dish: Mussamun curry - meat and potatoes. I love potatoes in a curry (must be the Gael in me).

Half way along the HIgh Street between the harbour and the railway station. Take away only - but two minutes from the sea front. Go find a bench and stare out to sea.

Favorite Dish: Fish & Chips with either salt & vinegar or, Scottish style, salt & sauce. Take away a bread roll with you and make yourself a chip buttie.
And thankfully, that other Scottish delicacy, deep fried mars bar (I kid you not) nowhere in sight.
