The Old Fruit Shop is an independent, family-run café and restaurant at 69 Old Castle Road in Cathcart. The former shop has been shaped into a relaxed neighbourhood space that serves coffee, baked goods and brunch by day before becoming a wine and tapas venue on selected evenings.
Daytime dishes put a colourful twist on brunch classics. Pulled pork hash combines patatas bravas, a chilli fried egg and chipotle aioli, while pancakes, toasties, grain bowls, sandwiches, quiches and seasonal pastries give both sweet and savoury reasons to visit.
Evening service focuses on small plates and sharing, with Mediterranean influence running through tapas, focaccia, olives, burrata and antipasti boards. Charcuterie, vegetarian and pescatarian versions make the grazing format workable for different groups and pair naturally with the drinks list.
Coffee is available throughout the day, and wine, cocktails, guest juices and seasonal specials broaden the offering from late morning onward. Local suppliers and changing ingredients support the menu’s independent character, while casual service makes the venue suitable for families as well as evening gatherings.
