Troy Cafe-Bistro

Head down Dalry Road towards the quieter west end and you'll find Troy tucked away doing the kind of cooking that doesn't announce itself loudly but keeps people coming back. It's unpretentious in the best way—stripped-back interiors, honest portions, the sort of place where you're as likely to see someone on a laptop working as you are a table of mates catching up over coffee. The menu sticks to what it knows: good brunch dishes, proper bistro classics at reasonable prices. Nothing tries too hard here, which is precisely why it works.
