Victoria Square & The Orangery

We were greeted by Head Waitress Margo who set the bar in terms of first class,but unintrusive service which was extremely refreshing and made us feel totally at home. The food was very nice,I felt the butter bean and saffron soup,was just too heavy on the saffron completely overpowering the subtle flavour of the beans.My twice baked souffle was tasty enough,well garnished and thoroughly enjoyable. We both went for the Venison pie.it was not whi was expecting, but certainly not in a bad way.A home made shortcrust pastry shell was piled high with tender pieces of meat and gravy,adorned by a a massive disc of mashed tatties and a lovely selection of seasonal veg,including cavalo Nero,kale,golden beets,cauliflower florets,We both cleaned our plates😋. The only disappointment was my Dessert.An uninspiring cheesecake with a completely tasteless sorbet,and a slice of pineapple that still had the indigestable core still attached let me down as the previous two courses had been very nice indeed.June however hit the jackpot with the Date and walnut tart,absolutely delicious,with a subtle taste of micro lemon balm rounding the whole dish off. Looking for somewhere to go in Stirling for a special event,under the the supervision of Margo and her young assistant Waitress,you won't be disappointed, highly recommended.

A beautiful venue with fantastic food and service - what more could you ask for? Maybe some delicious pre-meal canapes? Well, you're in luck - you get those too!

My husband and I visited this place on November 28, 2024. As we walked in, we were kindly greeted by a friendly woman. They took our coats and asked to follow her to a living room where we sat and were asked about what we wanted to drink. A few minutes later they took our order for drinks and they brought the drinks together with canapés. Our dinner order was taken at that moment and we were left to enjoy the fireplace that was a real log one! When our table was ready, we were moved to the dining room. It is a beautiful and well decorated room. There aren’t many tables so I would recommend making a reservation. The entire meal was delicious! First we had bread and flavored butter. The , I ordered the allium as a starter, the venison as a main, and the plum as a dessert. My husband ordered the red pepper starter, the pheasant as the main, and the pear as dessert. You can look at the menu picture for more details about each dish. I can’t emphasize enough how delicious everything was and how much attention to detail is put into every single thing in our plates. I would absolutely go back! The prices are more on the pricey side, but we’ve paid almost as much as we paid here for meals that weren’t not even half good as this one, not even mentioning the great experience it all was! Since arrival till we left, the kindness and hospitality of the people who work here is amazing! 100 % recommended!!!

We had a very enjoyable stay here for 2 nights and great breakfasts. The room was perfect with lots of nice touches. Dinner was the highlight starting with drinks and free appetiser in the cosy lounge by the log fire. You are shown to your table in the dining room once dinner is ready to be served by very attentive and polite staff. The food was excellent not only looking great but perfectly cooked we could not fault it! We would like to thank all of the staff for the wonderful experience in a tasteful well presented victoran building. We hope to return again!
