    I would have scored my experience higher if there had been no dogs allowed. Unfortunately I watched a dog put its paws on the table which is exceptionally unhygienic.

    Absolutely loved brunch at Loudons! Food was delicious, service was fantastic, and drinks were great as well. Their Mediterranean avocado toast was phenomenal pared with a Bellini. Highly recommend if you need a quick bite before wandering around the city or if you want a leisurely brunch on a Saturday afternoon. Perfectly located and quite easy to walk to from most places in old town; may be a bit of a hike if you’re further in new town, but probably no more than 20 or so mins.

    Booked as had good reviews... average at best, wouldn't bother eating here again (plus the Waitress wasn't the most personable!)

    Food was ‘average’. I had the coffee pancakes and I’m afraid there was no coffee taste to these. My friend had the breakfast and which he said was tasty!
