• Scottish • North Berwick

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.

    Second visit to this superb restaurant & certainly won’t be the last. This was the perfect spot for a birthday lunch with my family. Lovely ambiance, excellent service & simply delicious food from an interesting & varied menu (without being too long!). Delicious cocktails too. Worth every penny!

    Amazing experience. The food and the view are the standouts. The service is fantastic too. If you get a window seat - the view overlooks the east coast/ Firth and it's jaw dropping! The coffee came first and was amazing. a flat white, and the food! I had an oyster mushroom Bham Mi? (Bun) and it was soooo good. The chef / cooks need a medal. such good quality. My partner had the soup of the day and said "they know how to do a great soup" - so it must be good as well. It is busy - but perhaps that's because it was on TV recently, but it's definitely worth it. What a hidden gem. Definitely go if you get the chance. On the other side - it is a little pricey - but for what i they offer i think it's worth it. You're paying for the view, the service, the quality of the food so it's definitely worth it. Don't forget if we want places like this, we have to be prepared to pay for them. and it was definitely worth it. Go if you get the chance you won't regret it.
