Nice little place to have a refreshment. The place was clean, staff were friendly, the food was home made. And the prices were very reasonable. If in Dunoon again I would happily go back. The ice cream was also very tasty.

Ice cream was nice but service was awful mostly every flavour was out of stock, and prices were ridiculous! (£8.50 for 3 ice creams)

Very disappointed as the menu looked lovely. We are visiting Dunoon for a week from Sutton Coldfield&have found most places lovely &dog friendly. It said online this cafe was bit we were told on arrival we could only sit outside!! As it was pouring with rain&all the tables&chairs outside were soaked with no cover we had no choice but to go elsewhere. Found another cafe where we were made to feel really welcome.

Always a lovely time at The Boat House, the cauliflower and broccoli soup is delicious and you are spoilt for choice with a range of beautiful cakes and home baking. A mere minute's walk from the passenger ferry! I am lucky enough to be a local and make regular visits here with friends, and the staff are never anything short of a delight. Food is always on point and served promptly. 10/10 would recommend to anybody visiting Dunoon.

Sitting outside today after travelling from Helensburgh and lockdown rules not fully lifted yet, we had 2 cappuccino (lovely) an empire biscuit (she tells me was lovely) a 'tub' of caramel Ice cream actually a wee drop of Ice cream in the bottom of a plastic cup. Tasted nice but really? And a cheese roll, that was 2.50 consisting of a virtually dry too and some cheese. I suspect there was a minute amount of butter (spread?) Hidden on one side of the roll... maybe. For 2.50. Altogether 11 quid which seems steep for what we got. But hey no. We needed something.

I've been here just for coffee twice now. The cakes looked lovely but I couldn't manage one at the time. I spoke with both the chef and the lady running the place, both friendly people who approached me. The coffee was tasty and just about the right strength, some places might serve it too weak or too strong, this was neither.

This place is amazing. A hidden treasure in the west of Scotland. If you are visiting the area you MUST go here. The owner is a stunning guy and a great chef. We turned up 5 minutes before they stopped serving breakfast and he was incredibly accommodating. Making recommendations, adapting meals, adding in items and throwing in items for free. The food was delicious. Best black pudding ever apparently (I had the Morton roll with egg, mushrooms and tattie scone) , also great Blaggis. Cakes are scrumptious too. And the prices are incredibly reasonable. Plus a stonking coastal view. A proper 5 star treat.

I have a weekend flat near Dunoon and this cafe, under previous proprietors, was, for many years, a favourite for lunch or afternoon coffee and cakes - it is, as most reviews indicate, very well situated with a great view in all weathers. I have been twice since it changed hands and is now known as Wined and Dined, the Boathouse - there is some confusion here. (See also review which is mine, on Wined and Dined). The first time, summer 2018, I found the service to be very slow for a light sandwich, which was somewhat overpriced. I nonetheless decided to try it again this year, on 30 June, and had an appalling experience. In the first place, I asked for a table by the window which was unoccupied but uncleared to be told that the waitress had no time to clear the table and that I would have to have another one, which I did. After asking about the contents of the various cakes on offer, I ordered a chocolate brownie and cup of coffee. After some time I was served with the brownie which had ice cream and chocolate sauce added. I was unaware that it would come with ice cream and, as I am intolerant to cream, asked for it to be removed. The person I assume to be the proprietor then came to my table and informed me that I could not have the brownie as it had dairy contents. I explained, twice, that my intolerance was to cream, not all dairy food, that I can eat brownies with no problem, and that I am well aware of the tolerance of my own stomach (I have in fact had several tests and attended dieticians about food allergies and intolerances). He continued to refuse me the brownie, or any other cake, and furthermore, in a somewhat accusatorial manner, pointed out that I had walked past the large yellow sign on the door indicating the importance of asking about food allergies. He then asked me to leave, saying that I had not been charged for my coffee. I left immediately after having a brief conversation with some fellow customers who expressed their astonishment at the way the matter had been handled. I went to another cafe and enjoyed my coffee and cake!Suffering as I do from a not unusual food intolerance I am well used to asking about the contents of food and in the vast majority of restaurants am dealt with courteously and very often, offered alternatives without cream, including, in an increasing number, vegan ice cream. I further note that on the Trip Adviser site this establishment specifically mentions it caters for vegetarians and has vegan options - not, it would seem, in relation to cakes, all of which were said to contain dairy! I was extremely upset by the whole experience and sadly, I, along with my friends and family, will not be returning to this establishment unless it changes hands again, which I regret, particularly given its prime site.

The restaurant was close to closing time but they where more than happy for us to take our time. Owner let us try a fee samples of things, look out for the sugar free ice cream! Lots of homemade deserts. The bar also had a huge selection of gins if that's your thing. Looking forward to going back, this time for dinner.

Nice little café restaurant overlooking the Clyde estuary at west bay, Dunoon. Room to move around, accessible entrance & toilet. Great home-made scones (especially the chilli cheese!) and nice lunch choices. Limited choice, but all freshly made from scratch. Average prices, and service not the quickest - but if you're not in a hurry, would recommend!

I needed to take a very special person out for a very special dinner in Dunoon, and thank god I found this place. Venue was perfect, food was spot on, and service was outstanding. The restaurant prides itself on its local fare, and seems to carry an extensive range of beers and gins too. The chef was perhaps a little over-attentive at times, but we did nothing to discourage him, as he clearly has a passion for what he is trying to achieve here. He has the perfect seafront seting, and a lovely menu, I do hope he gets the patronage he deserves.We had the venison and the Scallops.

Gave it a try as its Under new management, limited menu which i understand, very slow service, clearly understaffed when chef is out taking orders (observed that its clearly not his skillset) leftover dishes on table, waitress asked if we had enjoyed our meal surprised when we said we hadn’t ordered yet. Do not serve Lattes only coffee and milk. Soup and roll average at best, macaroni was watery and small portion. Staff clearly trying their best but a drop in standards from what it was. Not sure we will go back which is a pity as its a great location.

Visited with my friend for lunch today. Staff were very friendly and helpful. We both ordered steak pie which was very tasty and the meat melted in your mouth, 10/10. The prices are good and a lovely setting with modern decor and views of the Clyde. They provide outdoor seating for sunny days. Meals are served until around 8pm so a lovely setting for lunch or an evening meal. They have an alcohol license for those wishing to enjoy wine or spirits with their meal.Would highly recommend a visit here.

Great seaside location with indoor and outdoor seating and wonderful views across the Firth of Clyde. When you come off the passenger ferry or the bus (or the Waverley) turn left and walk for about a minute onto the seafront. You can expect a warm welcome from the friendly and helpful local staff. Food ranges from tea and cakes and scones to full meals - or you can simply sit outside with a coffee and look at the amazing view. It's also licenced to sell alcohol. Usually open in the mornings and afternoons Thursday to Sunday and also in the evenings Friday and Saturday.

The price were reasonable but the quality was pretty mediocre. The chips were premade, the portion of fish was half and untaste. Finally the waiting time was a little more than an hour. For the price range (somewhere between 10 and 12£, dont remember exactly) it does not worth it unless there is no open place to go near by. The only positive I found was that the staff were friendly.

Es un café restaurante. Muy agradable. Sencillo y acogedor. Su ubicación es excelente, muy cerca del paseo marítimo, con excelentes vistas al mar. El trato es muy cordial y muy eficiente. Lo más recomendable es su Brunch. Un buen desayuno Ingles, aunque en este caso sería Escocés. Es muy completo y muy alimenticio, con bacon, huevo, salchichas, morcilla.... Lo más sorprendente es la morcilla muy parecida a la morcilla de cebolla española(deliciosa) y las salchichas, muy diferentes a las que podemos encontrar en España. Es un lugar muy recomendable y los precios muy razonables para esta parte del Mundo.

We visited this restaurant on Friday 20/4/18 and we're delighted when we walked through the door ,the decor is bright and very inviting and there is an excellent selection of refreshments on offer ,my wife and sis in law plumped for the gin fizz cocktails and were smacking their lips at the elderflower and gin mix ,so much so that my bruv in law and I had one after our cold beers . The food on offer is amazing with a good choice of vegetarian options ,also on offer are a number of delicious home baked cakes ,we spent a good bit of time in here just watching the world go by ,now here is a good price of advice ,the restaurant doesn't look much from the outside but pay no heed to that ,the delightful tasty food and the warm feeling and welcome you get soon eases that .I feel I should mention the breakfast or brunch menu is just amazing and I felt I needed a skateboard to get around after I had made a complete glutton of myself but hey ho that's the way it goes .I know for a fact I will be back to this treasure trove of foodness and thank you for your excellent food and hospitality
