having cappuchinos in St. Andrews

This photo was taken after our lunch in St. Andrews in May.  The terrace bar is rather chic, all mod cons with electric heaters which are hung from the roof to keep you warm. No smoking, another recent trend in Scotland where we wicked smokers can't even smoke outside. It only seemed to heat up later on in the day the week I went back.
Had a really nice meal in the Doll's House.  One piece of advice, if you go for their two course lunch, don't order a full bottle of wine.  You won't have time to drink it before your plates are whisked away.  We had a sort of minestrone soup/kedgeree (hard to find the fish!!!) followed by a salmon risotto.  The helping of salmon was bigger than the portion of risotto.
Starters were quite curious too.  A slice of bread to dunk in an oil based vinagrette.
As I said before, we ordered a bottle of wine, so we had to keep re-ordering bread to slow down our meal.  Since we still hadn't managed to down our wine after our two courses and extra helping of bread we ordered dessert....sticky toffee pudding and the cheese board (where we again ran out of bread).  After we went outside to finish our wine and have our cappuchino's. Which gives the lie to that myth that people in Britain drink crap coffee. Coffee in Scotland is made with expresso machines and is all Italian.  And you can have small, medium or large coffees. It was delicious. Following this we went down to the harbour to watch the gulls.  A fantastic day.
