Nardini's
About
Nardini’s of Largs, a Scottish icon since 1935, has evolved into the country’s most beloved café, restaurant and ice‑cream parlour. The heritage‑filled, art‑deco façade houses three distinct experiences: the classic café, the beach‑side Bistro Del Mare, and the award‑winning ice‑cream shop. Patrons can start the day with freshly brewed coffee, savour classic Scottish fish and chips or indulge in mouth‑watering Italian pastries, all served in a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere that still feels upscale. Bistro Del Mare is the newest addition, offering an elevated coastal Italian menu featuring locally sourced seafood, rich pasta dishes and decadent desserts. Located just steps from the seafront, its romantic setting makes it a favourite for couples, family dinners and festive occasions. The heritage café remains the heart of Largs, offering a wide menu from hearty breakfast platters to a delicate lunch menu, complemented by a bustling ice‑cream parlor that serves 32 classic and contemporary flavours. With colorful displays and an open‑plan kitchen, Nardini’s invites guests to enjoy quality food and warm hospitality in a lively, yet welcoming environment.
