A tearoom and catering business on the model of the French 'traiteur', Cool Gourmet sells a variety of hot and cold food in home dining and catering quantities. All food is cooked in-house from scratch and based on locally and seasonally available ingredients, with meals on offer to sit in or take away including stovies, mince and tatties, Cullen skink, cottage pie, beef olives, haggis, neeps & tatties and venison, but also chicken liver pate, quiche, lasagne and couscous, among others. Vegetarian options are available. Scones and pancakes are made daily by hand and there is always a selection of unusual homemade jams. Keep any eye out for their regular very popular theme nights which have so far included Gin, Tea & Coffee and Chocolate.
