Pavilion Montrose review: coffee, cake and a friendly welcome
Looking for somewhere to stop for coffee and cake in Montrose? Our visit to the Pavilion turned into an outdoor coffee break, with views over the old bowling green.

Fully booked for lunch at the Pavilion
We arrived to find the Pavilion fully booked for lunch. With no lunch table available, we sat outside and settled for coffee and something sweet instead.



If you are planning lunch at the Pavilion in Montrose, our advice would be to book ahead. It was fully booked when we visited, so it is worth checking availability before making a special trip.

Coffee and cake at the Pavilion in Montrose
Our order was straightforward: one Americano, one cappuccino and a banana and carrot cake to share.

The cake was tasty and the highlight of our stop. Sharing it gave us a sweet treat to go with our coffees while we took a break from exploring Montrose. Sometimes that is all you need from a café visit: somewhere to sit, a slice of cake and time to pause.

For anyone looking for coffee and cake in Montrose, the Pavilion is worth keeping in mind. Our visit was a short one, but the cake gave us a good reason to return.
Friendly staff
The staff were friendly, which made a difference even though we could not get a table for lunch. We felt welcome and were happy to spend some time outside with our drinks, catching some unseasonal sun.

That combination of a friendly welcome and tasty cake left us with a positive impression of the Pavilion.
Would we return to the Pavilion?
Yes, we would happily return for another coffee and cake stop. We would also like to try lunch, although next time we would check availability beforehand.
