A modern and contemporary family-run café and restaurant in the centre of Largs, the Bean and Leaf offers cooked breakfasts from 9am until noon, and lunches and light bites later in the day. These include reasonably priced sandwiches and baked potatoes, as well as a range of burgers (Scotch beef, chicken, pork and vegetarian), steaks, pasta and risotto dishes. Their local sourcing includes the west coast mussels served with a portion of chips and the Ayrshire gammon served traditionally with caramelised pineapple or a fried egg, as well as fish straight off the boat in Largs. The sweet-toothed might enjoy some of the deliciously retro drinks on offer, including ice-cream sodas made with Vimto or Red Cola, milkshakes and their own concoction the Mad Max – hot chocolate topped with marshmallows, cream and a crushed Flake. Throughout the day, the emphasis is on all-ages friendliness in an informal, homely atmosphere.
