Taking our name from a previous occupier of the building we're the youngest sibling of the Cafe Source family. Our menus are built around using first-class, ethically sourced Scottish produce using new and traditional techniques. It's great to be back! But things will be a little different here in Niven's for a while as we've implemented some changes and new procedures.
Here's what to expect when visiting. Firstly, we have revised opening hours and a maximum table size of 6 people (including highchairs). Guests must all be seated when visiting, and we are operating a strict table service only system. We will also ask one of your party to complete our track and trace form via a QR code on your mobile.

Tried a few dishes from the menu, the hot smoked salmon and crab, the crispy cauliflower, the lamb and the pan fried coley. It was a bit of a mixed bag to be honest the cauliflower and lamb dishes were really nice but on ordering a side of mixed greens to go with the lamb it turned out that it already came with the greens in the dish so it was a bit of a waste. The salmon and crab starter was good but there was what seemed like cubes of potato mixed in with it that isn't mentioned in the description which made it a lot heavier than what I was expecting. The pan fried coley and mussels came in a

Regardless of how good the food is, they treat their staff abysmally. Just know that when you leave a tip, it's probably funding the owners' lavish holidays. I worked at Cafe Source, the same owners as Niven's, and I worked hard. Cash tips were collected at the till, and all staff were to put tips in a jar to be divvied up. However, the owners kept the hardworking staff's tips, tossing us £20 or £30 every fortnight. We were definitely pulling in more than that. When I put in my notice and went back to collect my last two weeks of tips, owner Paul fobbed me off, and I never did get what I was

A relatively new start-up by the people behind Cafe Source.
Nice place for an early evening drink and dinner, this time on a (rare) sun-drenched evening in July.
A cool, uncluttered space with an entrance at either end, lots of glass and some outside seating. A swift welcome and attentive service throughout.
Interesting selection of draught bears including a peach weissebier and a really sour berry and hibiscus concotion in pale pink. Lip-puckering in a good way. You can have a sample to try before you buy.
Interesting menu with vegetarian options.
The smoked salmon with beetroot granita was
