About FilFil Cafe

Tucked into the Laines with a few tables out front, this is a small, intimate spot where children can watch the world go by while they wait. The falafel is what people come for — made fresh to order, hot, and rated by some as the finest plate in the country — alongside doner, halloumi and avocado add-ons, and a chef's special of mixed Mediterranean veg. Portions are big enough that leftovers go home in a box, and prices sit low for the quality; water is free and the team have been known to hand over extra dishes to try. High chairs, a kids' menu and plenty of vegan choices are available, though strict vegans have found the substitutions a bit token. It's cosy rather than roomy, so a pram may be easier parked outside.
