People come from near and far to eat, drink and bliss out at Scottish Thistle Award winning Drift, a unique coffee house with breathtaking views over unspoilt miles of Firth of Forth coast and the Bass Rock. Drift is perfect for walkers, cyclists, day trippers and tourists (we’re half a mile away from Tantallon Castle) and very popular with locals too. Everything is freshly made, and, as an agritourism business born out of a passion for food and drink, we love strengthening the connections between the land, sea and the table. Famous for our floor to ceiling windows offering up the breathtaking views lots of customers appreciate a table with this view uninterrupted. When booking opt for the 'Window Sea View' tables. If these are not shown they are sadly already taken. All other bookable tables do however also offer a sea view and each one differs from each other.

    We enjoyed our meal at The Ivy. There were plenty of choices, and we were able to mix and match from 2 menus. Great choices of wine too. Service was efficient, even though the restaurant was busy. The noise level was too high, which bothered a couple of us, but there was a large group eating nearby which isn’t really the restaurants fault. I have eaten at several Ivy’s now and they never disappoint.
