The 2012 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This review is taken from the current (2012) edition.
Its rather twee name remains but this established café located in a wonderful old corner bank building – all dark wood panels and round marble tables – was recently transformed by new owners into the perfect low-lit night-time Parisian-style bistro (while cleverly maintaining the community café mood during daylight hours). The extensive menu comprises all-day breakfasts including fabulous eggs Benedict and Florentine, sandwiches on various breads, wraps or bagels, baked potatoes (try the five bean vegetable chilli, cheese and crème fraîche) and the 'serious dining' options. The starters have a Scottish flavour: Cullen skink, smoked salmon pâté, Orkney black (or white) pudding, Arbroath smokie ramekin but it’s global for the mains, from pesto pasta and Thai red chicken to lamb tagine and chicken and chorizo stew. All are beautifully presented, sensibly portioned and deeply satisfying. Cakes are home-made locally, so sweet rivals savoury for gourmet gratification.
- High point: First impressions count: the garlic bread sets standards high
- Low point: Can the name be changed to suit evening dining?

We went to Moyra Jane's for lunch after reading the review in the latest Eating & Drinking Guide. Lunch was excellent so we decided to come for an evening meal - partly tempted by the eve meal offer of 2 courses for £11.95 and 3 for £13.95.
The service is superb - everyone is friendly and attentive and the food was delicious - a real find! The starter I had was one of the best I've ever tasted (Arbroath smokie ramekin) and both of us had the lamb tagine for mains - really really tasty without being over spiced with lots of tender lamb and fruit. Would really recommend!
