About Sinclair's Larder
Sinclair's Larder is a cafe in Brechin, at 63 High St, where the kitchen is open to the room and the menu is written on handwritten boards. A striped wall with neon marks the interior. The food runs to soup and sandwiches, including a pastrami sandwich and butternut squash and Stilton soup, with tray bakes and coffee alongside. Dog-friendly tables make it an easy stop for walkers with dogs after the Blue Door Walk.

Customer Review Summary
Coffee is the most frequent draw, called excellent and good by several diners who pair it with breakfast or tray bakes. Reviewers name a prawn and hot smoked salmon Caesar, a pastrami sandwich on soft bread, and a butternut squash and Stilton soup that one diner ranks among the best they have had, with big portions all round. Staff are repeatedly described as friendly and welcoming, even when the cafe is busy, and the handwritten menu boards and striped neon wall get a mention. Walkers finishing the Blue Door Walk stop in, and the dog-friendly outdoor tables come up more than once. The criticism centres on busy-day slips. One diner waited a long time for sourdough with avocado and poached eggs that arrived with an overcooked egg thrown onto the toast, noting staff seemed under pressure though the waitress apologised. Another found the dessert tasted a few days old. Several still plan to return, and one regular is always excited to try the specials.

“Lovely cafe serving quality casual food and open all week - you'll get how unusual that is in this neck of the woods. Highly recommended.”
