The First Light Bistro, now under new management, has truly transformed into a culinary gem. The star of the kitchen, Amy, has worked wonders with the menu, delivering dishes that are both inventive and delectably satisfying. Each bite is a testament to her skill and passion for cooking.

The service is equally commendable—prompt, attentive, and unfailingly courteous, which adds to the overall delightful dining experience. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to anyone seeking an exceptional meal. However, due to its growing popularity, it’s advisable to book a table in advance.

FirstLight Bistro is a charming little cafe in St Margaret's Bay that serves up amazing breakfast and lunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, and the staff are always happy to help.

I've tried both the vegan and regular breakfasts, and both were delicious. The vegan breakfast is made with avocado, tomato, hash browns, mushrooms, beans, and toast, and it's packed with flavor. The regular breakfast is also very good, with all the classic ingredients you'd expect.

I've also tried the sausage rolls. They're absolutely delicious, and they're a great option if you're looking for something a bit more substantial.

For dessert, I recommend the biscoff or fruit bun.

Overall, I highly recommend FirstLight Bistro. It's a great place to go for breakfast, lunch, or a coffee and cake. The food is delicious, the service is friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming.
