I was pleased to be back in Dundee for the first time since we’d spent the day at the Literary Festival, back in October. I took the opportunity to visit the Folk Cafe, on Nethergate, for a spot of breakfast.

In the same ownership as the Parlour, the cafe is split across a small upstairs counter with a few tables and a larger downstairs space that lends itself well to hosting events. I thought it was really rather smart.

They offer a nicely balanced menu of breakfast options from which I chose scrambled eggs on toast. I added an espresso which was good without hitting the heights.

The eggs soon arrived accompanied by plentiful deliciously rustic brown toast. The eggs were beautifully seasoned and wonderfully creamy. It was one of the best renditions of the dish I’ve been served, of late.

So overall, I really enjoyed my trip to the Folk Cafe. It’s a warmly friendly place serving dishes of really good quality. I’d be happy to recommend it to you.
