About Pavilion Cafe

A quiet spot in Montrose that families keep coming back to, and one you should book — there are only a few tables and a tiny kitchen, so turning up on spec is a gamble. Inside is bright with natural daylight and, unusually, roomy enough that you're not sitting in someone else's conversation, which makes a pram and a high chair far less stressful. The staff are genuinely warm with babies and toddlers, and food arrives quickly. Portions are generous and properly cooked — the poached eggs and Scottish breakfast get raved about, as do garlic mushrooms on toast with sourdough, baguettes with chips and coleslaw, and the cakes. There's a little verandah for sunny days, a kids' menu, vegan options and free parking. One parent calls it "our favourite place to eat".
