Refresh! Brasserie - Stirling

We came to the University of Stirling for a three day stay. We ate several meals at refresh due to the closeness to our lodging. Breakfast was included each day and was freshly prepared for us. We loved the creamy scrambled eggs along with selection of mushrooms, roasted tomato, bacon and sausage. The first day the chef even sent out some baked beans! The Americano with specially made for me and was delicious! We enjoyed two dinner meals here as well. Both meals were excellent and the chef sent out a lovely dessert for us on our last night. Can't say enough about the staff who are incredibly gracious and aim to please us every step of the way. If you are staying at the University of Stirling and don't want to Wander into town, I suggest you eat at refresh!

Refresh! refers to itself as a 'brasserie ', it 's actually a canteen with comfier furniture. It serves food from the same fairly limited menu every day. Where Sodexo 's takeover of the food outlets on campus has overall been bad (food on campus was much better and much cheaper before this happened! they have gone to some effort with this outlet, which is located in the new residence Willow Court (and not signposted at all, so is only frequented by those In The Know and who live nearby . So like I saw they 're basically a canteen. Menu contains staples including burger and chips, spicy chicken, pasta, and some vegetarian options. It 's pretty limited in choice but the selections are fairly good there will probably be something that takes your fancy. INgredients are good quality and the food is well cooked and reasonably priced. This is by far the best place for food on campus, and especially for breakfast nice fresh pancakes with syrup/bacon/blueberries, and orange juice for only 50p per big glass! Coffee machine and various flavours of tea available, and there is also an extensive choice of soft drinks. You couldn 't go here too regularly because you 'd get bored eating the same dishes all the time, but the chef is good, the food is tasty, and there are nice wee touches like garlic mayo on the side with your fries. This place doesn 't offer much variety, but the dishes it does serve are tasty and done well and there 's lots of little trimmings and additions maybe this is why they claim to be a brasserie! I recommend the burger or the spicy chicken and flatbread. I recommend the breakfast pancakes more (get there before 11 for these . Staff could be better tho, just saying. They 're definitely not rude, just a bit distant, you kinda get the impression they have better things to do than serve you (which they probably do, to be fair .
