The Meridian Bier Cafe

When you’re looking for a vegetarian friendly establishment, purveyors of pasta and pizza are a no-​brainer. It’s pretty much guaranteed that there will be a choice of meat-​free options on the menu and so it was at The Meridian Bier Café.
The menu didn’t restrict itself to pasta and pizza however and I jumped at the opportunity to sample something beyond the usual vegetarian suspects; a mushroom and broccoli crêpe with a white wine sauce nicely dressed salad and chips. I was not disappointed.
Across the table my dining partner ordered the penne arrabiata specifying that it not come stupidly spicy, and it arrived exactly as requested. We were happy campers! The Meridian Bier Café has a European vibe and will serve you anything from a cuppa and a croissant to something more substantial. The selection of bottled beers and lagers is extensive.
Cost-​wise there are specials throughout the week, for example 2 for 1 pizzas Monday from 5pm. We opted for the perfectly portioned lunchtime deal and my crêpe, salad and chips came in at a tasty £6.95! Service was terrific in every way. Well worth a visit.

Beer is good, Food is good, his choice of music is awful try not to listen to it, all the red wines are awful, staff have not been to bad lately, if he would get a nice red say Faustino’s or a good Argentinian Malbec I would probably be in every other week for a meal, if he changed the music maybe every week.

Rubbish staff, mediocre food, overpriced drinks, stale vaccum packed coffee, awful place.

This restaurant/​bar is pleasant and one of the better choices in Ayr. There is good menu which centres on pizza and pasta dishes. Service is with a smile, although slightly inattentive. The décor is tasteful and bright with a continental café theme.
The pizza is rather good — with fresh ingredients and a light thin base. The prawn tempura was similarly good.
The whole affair is, however, somewhat overpriced — there can be better value found elsewhere in Ayr.

The meridian is a nice looking bar, the food tastes alright but the menu lacks imagination. The staff are rude, unhelpful and unfriendly. Don’t drink the wine, honestly it is awful, in particular the pink.

The meridian is a nice place for coffee or snack or even a full meal. Its very modern inside and the food is great. Its a nice relaxed easy going place thats nice just to meet up with friends in and have a coffee or a few beers without any of the hassle of the louder places. This one is well worth a look!
