Blairmore Cafe in Argyll & Bute

Great place to stop for carbs!!

The Blairmore was one of our best finds on our holiday in amazing Scotland. The owners and staff are so welcoming, helpful and friendly. The food is amazing, so much choice and delicious. We loved it so much it featured 4 times in our 6-day holiday! We miss you already! We hope to be back again. The Yorkshire/Hampshire 3 😁

Fantastic little spot in an unbelievable location. Food and coffee was great and the service from the team was outstanding, they went out of their way to make us feel at home. Dog friendly, baby friendly. A real gem!

Lovely place lovely food and lovely people 💕

Fantastic food, welcoming and friendly staff, dog friendly. Very reasonably priced for the quality you get. The freshly prepared strawberry tarts earn them 5 stars on their own! Highly recommended.

Plenty of salami but deer ran away!

Fabulous find in a lovely location. Service was brilliant, very friendly staff. Menu had great choices, all locally sourced ingredients and very reasonably priced. Cakes looked to die for. Toilets were very clean, couldn’t have needed anything more. If youre around the area, visiting Puck Glen or Benmore Gardens would really recommend a stop here.

Don't get to visit this place very often but when I do I'm never disappointed. Also every time I'm there the lovely owner seems to have made more improvements. This time it's the buzzer system for efficient waiting/queuing times which is really good. I take my hat off to the lovely lady who manages/owns this place she is totally inspiring and a great asset to the area.

Stunning wee shop on the shore. Banging food, hot drinks and souvenirs, Lovely friendly staff. 👌👍🫶

Lovely cafe and shop. Staff very welcoming and food and drinks exceptional.

What a nice little treasure! The Blairmore was so nice that we went twice within a few days. Great food for a fair price, cozy and friendly, a nice view over the bay ans at the pier, a cute little gift shop. Definitely a place to recommend ♥️

A very humble and sweet restaurant run by a couple of very hard working people with decades of experience in the restaurant and serving industry. A country feeling ambiance right at the the edge of a big City! Delicious home cooked meals made with love.

Stopped in today for some cakes and was delighted by what I got! We grabbed the Oreo brownie, carrot cake, and lemon loaf and actually could not decide which was the best - they were all marvelous! Can’t wait to be back :)

Very good food and very friendly service, welcoming atmosphere with updated facilities! I will recommend the restaurant to my friends and family!

Excellent. We stopped in for takeaway sandwiches (which came in a box with salad and dressing) and they were so good that we went back the next day for the same, with coffee, for the ferry journey back across to Gourock. I wish we had time to sit in as the menu looked great. It looked to be a very popular location for breakfast and lunch. Very friendly staff.

A Stunning little find, would give more than 5 stars if we could. We were having a family holiday nearby and ended up visiting 4 times in the 5 days we were there. The food is absolutely delicious, both on the Breakfast and Lunch menus. The staff are so incredibly friendly and welcoming, they catered for us all, a group of 5 adult, a sometimes stroppy toddler and our 2 dogs with no issues at all and nothing was too much for them. They all really make the experience fantastic. Such a shame we live 7 hours away or we would be popping in regularly, we certainly will if ever passing anywhere close.

It's a real shame you can't give more than 5 stars for this outstanding restaurant. We spent our vacation close to the Blairmore this year and enjoyed lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, and a special steak event there. We didn't have the time to go for breakfast, unfortunately, so no doubt will have to go back there as soon as possible. Great food, lovely owner and team, wonderful location with a nice view. Don't miss it if you are in the area!!

I went there because I was told it was dog friendly. I found it to be very dog friendly as they have a doggy menu with vets approved food, which to me was absolutely amazing. As for the food I ordered a scone and a latte. The drink was very good indeed. However, the scone, a cherry one, was massive and came with butter. I also, have to say, I have had many scones all over the British isles and this one was delicious and certainly in my top three. It was also very easy to park right next to the place. The staff couldn't be more helpful and friendly, even though I have a lovely friendly Springer they made a fuss of him. I also understand that he absolutely loved the scone as well. Consequently, I have no hesitation in recommending this place to anyone with a dog and of course those who are unfortunately without one of our four legged friends of the canine variety. In conclusion, if you get the chance please call in and sample the food and service, one will not be dissatisfied.

The pictures say a 1000 words, yummy top off with spectacular views.

The Blairmore Cafe was recommended to us by friends. Glad we took their advice. It’s a modern, spotless, busy, doggie friendly little restaurant really as it serves lunches too. We had coffee and two really delicious cakes, which are all home made. The staff are exceptionally friendly and take time to get to know you. Can’t wait to go back.

Staff are brilliant and all of the food is delicious

What a warm welcoming cafe! Food lovely, very clean, good atmosphere. Had breakfast, lunch and dinner during our week stay in the area. Helen and Morgan made us so very welcome, and our dog Walter! Thank you

We visited the Blairmore today for our first time in the area and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful from the outset. The food was phenomenal. We ordered a variety of foods from the lunch menu including a burger, baguettes, a sandwich, some cake and even some items from the dog menu. All of the food was superb, I wouldn’t change a thing. We also ordered coffees which were fantastic. All of this was ordered to takeaway and it was quickly prepared, really well packaged and brought out to us on the lovely benches outside. The prices were very reasonable and the service faultless. There is plenty parking outside and easy access to the beautiful premises. I highly recommend the Blairmore and will most definitely be returning again in the near future.

Probably the best place to eat in the area. Great service and lovely food.

Just back after ordering the stack which was awesome. Staff friendly as always 😁. If you get the weather the scenery is beautiful looking over the loch

Highly recommend visiting this cafe! The service was very friendly, with a happy atmosphere provided to all customers. The food was delicious and the coffee was excellent! The cafe is beautifully decorated and dog-friendly too.

This cafe is a must to visit if nearby! Excellent food, coffee and dog friendly too. Beautifully decorated inside, with an option to sit outside. The staff are very friendly and provide a great service.

Excellent cafe/shop highly recommend. 5 star all round with lovely food and service The views are awesome.

A lovely experience at The Blairmore. I'm looking forward to the next visit.

The macaroni cheeses is absolutely brilliant with the Stornoway black pudding in it. If you have to wait it's worth the wait to get a tablet the food is great.

They have a small range of vegan items on the menu. I visited twice it is worth going back what they do is good.

Been here a few times now, can only say fantastic service and even more amazing food, usually quite busy as very popular locally!

Amazing food, excellent service and a view to die for. It's a must visit

Lovely place- great food, good service in a lovely relaxed environment looking out over the water. Will definitely be back

So pleased we found this gem of a cafe. We had a delicious and very reasonably priced lunch on Bank Holiday Monday. The staff were so friendly and caring. Interesting menu, something a bit different.

I was so impressed with The Blairmore! We were warmly welcomed as a large group including vegans and children, and looked after well throughout the meal. The food was all delicious, fresh, and reasonably priced. All served with a beautiful view overlooking the water. We will definitely be back, thank you!

Fantastic food and great views. The staff are very friendly. Thanks

This is a lovely place for breakfast, lunch or cake and coffee. We haven't been for dinner but are sure it'd be just as good. Staff are a joy and the shop is a welcome addition. We've since had dinner and it was equally delicious.

On a beautiful day out,, stopped here for lunch which was lovely

Never had anything that wasn't top notch at The Blairmore. Staff, food, stmosphete, service quality all 5*

Perfect Stop. Very friendly service, great baguettes, good coffee. All with a perfect view on the sea

Wonderful place for lunch (also for breakfast by the way), coffee and tea and sweet pastries, etc. The lady owners and other ladies who work here are super nice, attentive and interested. The view is beautiful and far away and the local visitors are all cheerful, so that says something. Recommended!

Absolutely spectacular ❤️ My family and I have been visiting since the day it opened. The food, drink and atmosphere is amazing! The staff are all so wonderful and always so helpful and sweet. We even celebrated my Gran's 100th birthday here, and she was treated like the queen she is! Soon to be 102! We will need to come back to celebrate. Just yesterday, we stopped by for coffee and delicious treats! The banana and caramel loaf was SO good! Plus, the date slice is always a favourite!

The Blairmore is fantastic. Run by mother and daughter Helen and Morgan, the attention to detail, the warm welcome the extensive and delicious menu make the Blairmore a must visit. If they are busy, which they often are (and this is a good sign, I think!), they have a pager system where you can wait in your car until a table becomes free. The views out over Blairmore Pier are lovely. The food is delicious and the selection of home-made cakes (which changes across the week) are fantastic. They also offer gift vouchers and have even posted them out to me at my home address (not in Scotland) for gifting to friends which I think is brilliant. Highlights of the menu include the support of local suppliers for coffee, venison burgers, cheeses and all sorts of other food items. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming and the staff are very willing to help and provide excellent service. They have a range of seating including tables and chairs and bench/booth seating with tables. They have highchairs and are dog friendly. The prices are reasonable too and meals are good value with excellent portion sizes. The team are also really good at answering questions about allergies and accommodating these. They offer a range of vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free many options and the whole menu is extensive. They have alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks available too with many hot and cold options. The hot chocolates are always delicious. There is an excellent shop next door as well which sells some of the items they use or make on the menu eg, jams and chutneys. The shop also stocks products from other local suppliers in the area. I wish there was a Blairmore cafe in my home town! It is one of the highlights of coming to visit such a beautiful area on holiday. It wouldn’t be a holiday without at least two trips to the Blairmore! Thank you, Morgan and team 🩷

I'm sure it's usually better but it was Mothering Sunday and we felt rushed and unwelcome just having a tea and a cake because we were 90 minutes ahead of the booked out special lunch. We were happy to be brief and I get that there was stress before a busy afternoon but my 80+ year old parents felt rushed and flustered. Could do better or just don't open prior to big events.

What a gem of a place overlooking the lock, food and service amazing 🤩 The food was delicious - all homemade with a selection of vegetarian and vegan option with more than a dozen tray bake and cake options 😋 They offer alternative milk for coffee, frapes and milkshakes…that my kids enjoyed. Even though they were full the owner made time to recommend places to visit 🙏 Must mention the toilets were immaculate with gorgeous hand soap you can buy in their shop next door which sells locally produced products 🤩 Can’t rate The Blairmore Cafe highly enough - the owner and team are fabulous 🙏🤩🙏

Great food, great staff, friendly atmosphere and a wonderful view over Loch Long. What more could you want?

Lovely lunch today at the Blairmore. Fab selection of food and drink, plenty GF options, great friendly service

Amazing food, really friendly staff , lovely views. The Blairmore is an enjoyable place to go for breakfast, lunch or even take away coffee and cake Their gift shop has lovely unique items many are also produced in and around the area. It’s lovely to see them giving so much support to other local businesses xx

Superb breakfast. Excellent chef with lovely waiting staff, comfortable restaurant and warm setting with great views. Highly recommended that you make a trip to this gem on your travels through Argyll.

A wonderful spot that has excellent food, stunning views and the friendliest staff who always make you feel welcome. Great events too each month for evening dining!

Great place, food is beautiful staff are lovely

Dining in always a pleasure, quality in all things is the standard, haven't tried take away yet but I'm certain same high standards and quality will apply

What an incredible, little place 😍❤️ The food was absolutely yummy and I will be thinking for a long time about a date and oat cake 😍❤️ They even have a menu for doggos! Adorable 😍 The staff working there are the most kind women 😍 we felt very welcomed and definitely will be back when we will be around. Keep up good work, you're doing amazing team! ❤️❤️❤️

Just the friendliest people, delicious coffee and a yummy breakfast. Highly recommend!

Wow! Such lovely service. THE BEST bacon butties and coffee. Thank you. A lucky find in December - we’ll be back!

Great cafe, staff and food are excellent and the home baking is the best.

Great coffee and even better cakes

Lovely Cafe with fantastic food and gorgeous views. Highly recommend 👌

The Winston Churchill Venison Burger was amazing.....on a very busy Friday lunchtime where the wait was definitely worth it!!

Lovely menu, delicious food and wonderful staff. Def recommend a visit. Definitely return

Excellent lunch and cakes ! Service fantastic. Thanks

Home baking is fantastic! Greenock customer

Situated overlooking Loch Long, this café is a little gem. Selling mainly local food, the chef obviously takes pride in his food, and presentation. Whether it be breakfast, lunch, or a coffee & a sneaky cake, the welcoming atmosphere, and friendly staff make this place one of Cowal’s greatest places to eat.

Nice view, nice atmosphere, great food

Bit of a wait for food as the waverley came in, food was worth waiting for though.

Lovely wee cafe I was recommended to visit. Whilst out mountain biking I popped in for some lunch. Staff where friendly and helpful menu and all specials explained. I opted for soup and sandwich along with a mocha. The food was great, fresh and tasty and the coffee was great. Great selection of home baked cakes which I couldn't resist before leaving. Overall great cafe if in the area don't pass without a visit.

Stunning chicken and bacon salad , and tasty cheese burger, very friendly staff too.

Lovely little cafe. I'm so glad that we popped in for lunch while staying in Ardentinny. We enjoyed it so much we went again later in the week to try other menu options. All delicious

Brilliant. Been in a couple of times now and it's been fantastic both times. Food, atmosphere, service all fantastic and coffee is superb.

Food was quality, me and my lad had a lovely breakfast there after fishing from the pier, (caught 6 decent mackerel in under an hour btw!), gluten free lemon drizzle went down a treat with my son, breakfast stack for me, reasonably priced, beautiful service, stop here for a fish and a bit of grub, lovely ladies running the place, thank you for everything, made us feel welcome and would deffo stop here again if passing through. 5 * without a doubt

Great food great service, very friendly. Highly recommended

A good menu, popular venue with friendly staff.

Busy wee cafè with an excellent menu. The portion sizes were incredible, the service was just as fabulous 👌 Popped into the little gift shop next door for a wander, absolutely beautiful treasures. We didn't have space to eat cake 😕 but will definitely be back to sample some.

Great food in a stunning location.

Lovely place. Very pleasant staff. Given a buzzer as we had to wait about 10 mins Worth it .

Small but fabulous. A bit out of the way but well worth going there.

I enjoyed the gluten free options. Great day out to The Blairmore.

Lovely little cafe and staff so helpful and nice ☺️

Helen and Morgan made us feel right at home. It's a really beautiful spot and the food is delicious. We couldn't have asked for a better place to stop.

Lovely little place. Had Breakfast here and the food was amazing👏

Excellent light lunch and the carrot cake was to die for, excellent staff nothing a problem, Cheers guys.

Just had a bite to lunch here at The Blairmore, which was absolutely beautiful. Staff efficient and friendly. Reasonably priced, top quality ingredients, tasty and fresh. 10/10 Whatever you choose on the menu will be top notch!

Great place to eat, amazing views and equally great food. Loved the breakfasts and cakes! We stayed at a little place just above The Blairmore and loved being able to pop in with our kids for coffee and food, the staff were all really welcoming too

Fantastic cafe with amazing helpful staff

Excellent food, wonderful view across the water while eating.

An amazing find! Scrumptious and very generous cakes and a lot more too Staff were friendly and attentive and the sun was shining so we ate outside, overlooking the stunning scenery.

What a welcome! A lovely lady who made three middle aged cyclists very welcome. The food and drink was great, sandwiches, coffee, cake, cold drinks, all excellent. AND Neil Warnock is a regular I’m told!

A well run and pleasant coffee shop with good home baking and pleasant staff

Great place. Great food. Very friendly staff.

Superb food (prosecco high tea) served by excellent friendly staff. Great value.

Superb eatery. We had spicy parsnip soup and shared the cold, smoked seafood platter. Delicious food and the service was first class - the genuine, warm, friendly, hospitable kind that you cant teach. Lovely experience on a lovely day.

Had a wonderful afternoon at The Blairmore. Had booked the afternoon tea. Incredible quality and quantity of food. Can't recommend it enough. Thanks to all the team.

The Blairmore never disappoints. Breakfast, lunch and Afternoon Tea are all delicious. Staff are very welcoming and nothing is too much trouble. It's easily accessible by public transport. Look forward to every visit.

At Blairmore today for high tea. The food was excellent staff were brilliant and made the experience even more enjoyable.Had great afternoon.Thank you everyone at Blairmore!!

Just been for Afternoon Tea with my two sisters and my nephew. Great wee treat! Everything home made and a great selection of savoury and sweet treats- yummy! Love this place. Staff cannot do enough for you and there is a great ambience about the place- very chilled. Can't wait for our next visit !

Beautiful food, beautiful setting. what's not to love. Friendly staff too. Will be back for the breakie ☺️

Absolutely fantastic Tapas night thank you so much

Sadly there are a so few places in Dunoon that provide quality food at affordable/ reasonable prices. Many put cost above quality and service. The Blairmore beats anything in town, providing deliciously consistent food with excellent service and a varied menu. Was very busy with people waiting for tables. Ingenious pager system that lets you know when a table is free. Others could learn from this brilliant hospitality team.
