Not so much a cafe more a restaurant
Musa is advertised as an Art and Music Cafe. The art is scattered liberally around the restaurant and is all for sale, prices vary. On the occasions I have been there in the evening there has been no music, though there is a small stage in one corner of the restaurant. The atmosphere and decor is pleasant, the tables appear to have been hand decorated, and all are slightly different. The kitchen is open to view at the back of the restaurant
The menu is fairly extensive and should suit all tastes, daily specials are shown on a blackboard. There is a fairly obvious Scottish tinge to the menu, which included for example Cullen Skink (fish and potato soup), as well as black pudding and Aberdeen Angus steak. Dishes are well presented and distinctive. We were on a largely fish evening, with a calamari starter and Thai stock pot as a main course containing a variety of fish in a pleasant sauce, and served with basmati rice in a separate bowl.
We left well satisfied after a three course meal each, plus a bottle of Pinot Grigio at a cost of £80 for two (May 2008). Service is attentive and friendly without being intrusive. There is a taxi rank close by if an after dinner walk is not on the agenda.
