Canadian and American themed cafe/restaurant. You can’t book in advance though so on weekends it can be difficult to get a table. Definitely worth it though if you can get in! My tip: the home fries are fantastic!

Perhaps best described as a modern day hipster greasy-spoon. This place is full of character and the food is great! It is always busy on a weekend but the wait is never normally longer than 15-20 mins. And on Thursdays they serve wings for 10p each!
My tip: go for the all-day Scottish breakfast (complete with haggis and lorne sausage!) and free tea.
