About This Pub
Ah, Finnegans – what a gem of a cafe in Falkirk! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's one of those places that really hits the spot for a relaxed Sunday breakfast or a quick bite. The food stands out as a real winner; folks rave about the fresh, made-to-order dishes, like perfectly poached eggs on thick sliced bread that leave you feeling chuffed. And the staff? They're an absolute delight, bending over backwards to ensure you're happy, with that super inviting vibe that makes you want to come back. It's got a comfortable feel, ideal for solo visitors or catching up with friends, and the menu's got plenty of options to suit all tastes. But, to keep it real, there are a couple of downsides – like times when tables aren't wiped down properly, which can be a bit off-putting, or certain areas feeling a tad cold, so you might need to wrap up warm. Overall, with such high praise and a strong rating, it's worth a visit if you're in the area, just go in with eyes open to those minor flaws. I'd say it's a solid choice for anyone after a friendly spot without the fuss.

We usually visit once a month on a Sunday morning for breakfast which is cooked to order and fresh. Lovely poached eggs and thick sliced bread, so good!
Lovely food 5 star service really couldn’t do enough for you super inviting definitely be back and would recommend
Lovely staff and extensive menu options .Snacks, cakes or meals. Less one star because our table wasn't cleaned prior to serving and a wee bit cold where we sat. Comfortable atmosphere for lone customers. A warm welcome. Will definitely go back.
In I went to Finnegans on Sat. 14/9/24 at around 9.45am
Please wait to be seated it reads as I stand in a glass cage 😂
This must be a posh restaurant that I'm going into, was the thought 🤔 that came to me, but fortunately I hadn't that long to wait & when the waiter approached me I pointed to a table for 2 that I would like to sit at & he took me over to it.
Another waitress came to my table & took my order for the SIMPLE breakfast & I told her that I would like my coffee latte along with my breakfast BUT I ended up with my latte BEFORE my breakfast came.
I drank half of my coffee, before my lovely tasting breakfast came & because of that I asked for some hot🔥water to top up my coffee which had cooled down & that request was attended to 👍
Now what was wrong with my lovely tasting breakfast❓
It was served up on a cold plate 🍽️ & my beans were only warm, but other than that it all tasted very good.
The tattie scone wasn't all soggy or even burnt on one side that has happened to me elsewhere - including cold plates & my fried egg🍳 wasn't even frizled up, it was spot on & I will pop in again & taste their special scrambled eggs 🥚
Great wee find, finding this cafe, food was absolutely delicious. Staff were so friendly & helpful, very clean, spotless in fact.
