OSTA, Stirling

My wife and I had the opportunity to go out a few Saturday’s back. The kids were at sleepovers so the world was our oyster as they say. On the spur of moment we decided to jump a train to Stirling and visit Osta. Osta is a relatively new restaurant in Stirling, that occupies a recently converted Georgian building just off the Craigs roundabout.

We did not book and arrived on the off chance that we could get a table. The staff were extremely friendly and asked if were happy to wait five minutes for a table. We were happy to wait and ordered a well earned drink at the bar. My wife ordered a glass of house white Drostdy Hof Steen Chenin Blanc and I took a pint of Belhaven Best. My wife commented on how nice the wine was and the pint was "Simply the Best".

We were soon seated in the lounge and began to take in the relaxed surroundings. Osta offers a very pleasant and relaxed environment. As the pianist played we began to run our eyes over the menu. The menu offered a wide range of tapas, pizza, pasta and scottish traditional dishes. My wife chose Peking Duck and I decided on the Parma Ham Rocket Pizza. We also deided on a bottle of Sancerre La Crele Domain Thomas and at £18.50 we thought this was reasonabley priced. Both meals were magic. Thoroughly enjoyable.

We decided to miss deserts as we were satisfied with the mains. We did order a glass of Lanson Black Label and another pint of Belhaven Best. We sat and listened to the pianist and chatted for another hour. The £46.00 for meal and drink was well worth it. As we walked to the train station we revelled on what had been a great evening. If you’re into a little sophistication and wish to try somewhere that has a fresh atmosphere then Osta is for you. We really enjoyed it. Bring on the next spur of the moment.
