eighteen69 in North Ayrshire

We had a great meal in this excellent restaurant. They serve what they call 'Scottish Tapas', letting you try lots of different dishes with a Scottish slant. There are Meat, Fish and Vegetarian options with lots of side dishes and all of the ones we chose were delicious. And the waiting staff were helpful, efficient and charming. Would go again at the drop of a hat.

Amazing food you will definitely not be disappointed, service was great. Lovely atmosphere. Nothing disappointed. Will be back soon.

The restaurant is located in the resort in a conservatory overlooking some of the gardens. Idyllic. The service was quick and efficient and served with a genuine smile. As a Scottish Tapas restaurant I was so looking forward to something really different and interesting. For me, it didn't work. The portions were incredibly small and tasteless. The biggest disappointment was "stovies in broon sauce". I have to assume that the chef has never eaten traditional stovies before, or he/she was just trying to be too clever. I'm not really sure what it was meant to be. I had a dessert which was beautiful, not because I really needed one, rather because I was still hungry!.

So good we went two nights in a row inviting friends over who were staying elsewhere. Food was excellent, very well cooked with skill and intelligence.The watermelon sashimi a revelation. The whole experience on both nights enhanced and improved by our server Kevin

Sadly underwhelmed and disappointed at this return visit . A few good dishes; wood pigeon, salmon platter, spicy garlic prawns and haggis Scotch egg and Mac and cheese without black pudding for the children but other dishes disappointing. Cullen skink fish badly filleted and bony, sticky chicken very dry and overdone, cheesy beanos toast burnt and a bit dry, stovies served as two very small balls of meat and potato deep fried and overdone . The restaurant is a conservatory and there were no windows or doors open on our arrival so the temperature was uncomfortably hot - we couldn’t stay a moment longer than main courses . Do appreciate the weather was unusually hot but it had been for some time and fans or AC units in a hotel that prides itself on customer care and comfort could have been installed Not the best of dining experiences .

Eighteen69 at Auchrannie Resort, 1st Class service and food. Atmosphere very relaxed and informal but with superior service, attention, knowledge and recommendation of dishes. Scottish Tapas but with a twist. Particular favourite was the Haggis, Neeps and Tatties but all of the dishes were phenomenal! We will be back! Best in Brodick!!

The food was delicious and tasty, the service was great, all round amazing experience would highly recommend

Unfortunately we were disappointed with our meal. We shared 7 dishes and none of which we particularly liked due to little taste and the prawns were overcooked and chewy. The tastiest dish was the chips as they were salty. We were really looking forward to dining here during our stay, but would recommend the Cruize restaurant at Auchrannie instead. Bottles of gluten free beer available.

This is food with a bit of theatre thrown in. The cooking skills were absolutely incredible, presentation of the food was a delight! Choose the Rainbow Trout for taste and theatre. The Short Rib Beef Fingers are so tender that you don’t need your knife to cut it and not forgetting the Mac and Black, absolutely delicious macaroni make with black pudding and Arran cheddar cheese. You would be crazy to miss out!

Beautiful restaurant, beautiful food, anmazing cocktails and perfect ambiance. Tapas style food came out as soon as each item was ready, great experience and can’t wait to go back again soon.

Having given an honest but unfortunately negative review of our family meal at Cruize Bar where we’d eaten only two days previously, I thought it only fair to share our thoughts on this venue which I’m delighted to say was excellent! A pleasant venue in the original hotel the staff were extremely attentive and the 7 Tapas we shared were delicious and imaginative all washed down with a nice bottle of red. The taster desert was delicious too, and we rarely eat dessert! The main issue with the other venue was value for money, or lack of it, but I can honestly say we felt the cost of this meal gave really great value. We would definitely book to eat here again and very much look forward to doing so!

Food, service outstanding. Great variety in small plates but great quality and standard……but staff just tremendous with service and info on the food

We checked out today from the hotel after booking for a relaxing birthday break for my wife, we dined in eighteen69 for dinner and whilst the food is lovely the service was anything but. Firstly I need to highlight this isn't on the wait staff, they were attentive and very pleasant, this was on the very snobbish and rude manager hands down, so much so I'd say he ruined the evening for us. We arrived early to grab some drinks in the bar before our table was ready, AVOID THIS, we were told "we have a STRICT 90-minute table turnaround time". He even emphasised the word strict when talking to me and we were shown straight to our table without being able to relax at the bar or lounge first. As we had booked early, It was clearly evident he wanted us in, seated and out before the bulk of his bookings for the evening arrived. This made us feel absolutely unwelcome and more of a hindrance to the restaurant than valued guests. The rest of the staff seemed very nice and pleasant, Freddie, our server was a trainee and had just started but you could tell he was trying his hardest to be attentive without being overbearing. Fantastic guy and honestly a pleasure to meet. We ordered some cocktails or tried to, I wanted a basic Mojito but apparently, this wasn't possible. They were also out of Kopperberg cider due to "supply issues" which is funny as the fridge across in cruize was fully stocked and I ordered some before and after my meal that evening, (guessing a stock transfer was too difficult to do). My wife managed to get a cocktail but it wasn't nice at all for her. No offer of a fresh drink was made (despite being willing to pay) and despite asking for it to be taken away it sat there for the entire dinner service. Food. This is where things improve, massively, Firstly, eighteen69 is expensive and will be, they recommend 2-3 items per person, this is closer to 3-4 if you expect to be filled up, some items are bigger than others (my wives haggis was massive) but some are very small and paltry. We ordered the following to begin with, - Argyll Hot & Cold Salmon Platter - Pan-Seared King Prawns - Lobster & Crayfish Burger - Sweet Sticky Chicken (ended up ordering an extra later on) - Lamb & Haggis Pie - Short Rib Beef Fingers The smoked salmon was lovely, a generous serving of the fish, both hot and cold but it comes with only one scone, considering Tapas is supposed to be about sharing this felt a little stingy, but it's ok, lovely food, really enjoyed. The Pan-Seared King prawns were lovely, a very generous serving of prawns, the sauce was a wonderful blend of mango and garlic. I really enjoyed this. Neither I nor my wife personally enjoyed the lobster and crayfish burger, For me, it felt like it had too much mayonnaise on it and my wife wasn’t a fan of the burger itself, probably personal preferences as I don’t believe the dish was flawed. Sweet Sticky Chicken was my absolute favourite dish of the evening which is why I ordered a second helping, I was a little disappointed when the second serving came as the first came covered in the sticky sauce, the second had much less (enough to be noticeable) but still lovely. My wife had the Lamb and Haggis Pie, she loved it and I think it was her favourite dish of the evening, Short Rib Beef Fingers, Lovely dish but where was the food, The Beef was amazing and cooked perfectly, very tasty, but you got 3 tiny slivers of beef around 5cm by 1cm long, honestly, even for Tapas this was a tiny dish and definitely not worth the cost considering its size. For Dessert, my wife ordered the 3 Mini desserts while I ordered the chocolate nemesis, Her “mini” desserts were anything but and the mini chocolate nemesis she had was the same size as mine I ordered, All of these were lovely and really enjoyable. We were wanting to stay afterwards for drinks but considering the rushed, harsh reception we got and when we finished our dinner we got presented with the bill immediately we decided to skip this and go straight back to our room. Overall a pleasant tasting experience let down by a very unwelcoming environment, our entire meal for the evening was over £120 for two of us with two drinks each. For the food it was worth it and was enjoyable but the environment put me off going back again.

We visited the restaurant as a treat for my sons birthday, we were lucky it was lovely weather and we got to sit outside. The food really was great, nothing we didnt like and the service was excellent too, thank you

Lovely plates Tried to book in advance, phoned up and were told we could only book on the day, checked online the day before and you can book online, feel slightly misled Lovely, friendly staff - we love Ali and Niamh Not enough cutlery on the table for the group - when we asked had a blasé response of the table would have only been set for 4 Tasteful covid screens and robust covid protocol (however slightly chilly with the doors open - don't forget a warm layer) Cod cakes a bit bland but the lime sauce with them was lovely (but tasted like lemons) Very rushed bringing of the dishes, there was no space on the table for all of them Desserts delicious (we tried the chocolate nemesis and cranachan) Impressive decor The soufflé was exceptional The ginger beer on the menu isn't ginger beer it's fizzy apple and ginger juice A moth landed on one of our party Didn't use the facilities, probably lovely based on the surroundings Seats very comfy Water jug a bit anatomical, don't know exactly what this means but feels like an apt description

What can I say, everything was spot on! Only negative is that I won't be able to return soon enough.

Me and my partner had such an amazing meal at Eighteen69. The food was absolutely immaculate and we couldn’t fault the staff one bit. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Thanks again Eighteen69. We will certainly be returning x

Very pleased that we booked a table here on our first night in Arran. The service was excellent and the food was extremely tasty. Loved the concept of the small, sharing plates as we love to try lots of different things.

Despite several trips to the wonderful Auchrannie resort, we had never quite managed to eat in Eighteen69, so were excited when we finally managed to go! The dining experience did not disappoint the four of us! Greeted by smiling happy faces we were led to...

First time dining in this restaurant and had a great meal. There were just two of us and we ordered three small plates each and a dessert and it was a lot. Our favourite dishes were the sticky chicken, the mac and black and the portobello mushroom. Restaurant is spotless and we were seaed in the huge conservatory at the back. As is standard throughout the resort, all the staff were very friendly and efficient and tables were cleaned thoroughly after each sitting.

Visited this evening when staying in the Spa resort. We were slightly unsure if it would suit us all, we needn't have worried. My daughter has a few food allergies, the staff were very attentive to this. Found plenty to suit us all. Food was delicious. Could not mention favourites as we enjoyed it all. We ordered about 3 dishes each and found this perfect. The staff were all very friendly and helpful.

Lovely venue with great food , we had a mixture of fish meat and vegetarian all supper taste . I would recommend booking as can be busy ,we were there on a Monday night

best tapas ever, great choice, excelent service beautiful surroundings .I would highly recommend visiting

Lovely range of tapas dishes with a Scottish theme. Staff were very helpful in guiding you through the menu and explaining the specials. Sat by the fireside after dinner- lovely way to spend a romantic dinner

We had a fabulous meal here tonight while staying at Auchrannie. Thanks to Colin the chef for sharing how he made blanched garlic, which was amazing! Thanks again

Select 5 or 6 items from the menu, sit back and here they come. All the items we had ordered came very quickly and it was one of the fastest meals ever! The items were good but as items are for sharing it would be good in multiples of 2! I.e. 5 cod leaves you fighting with your partner as to who has the 5th! Overall good but bill can run away if you do eat too many dishes. Note. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday’s which did catch us out!

A good range of tapas style dishes and excellent for sharing - handy location and this menu is particularly good for groups. Service was a tad on the slow side but as it happened the place was pretty full and dogs in attendance but only in certain areas.

Amazing food. We ordered 3 tapas each plus sides.there was so much food! Yet we ate it all and had pudding!! So tasty!

This restaurant is part of the Auchrannie estate and located in what is the original hotel. There has been a lot of money spent on the surroundings, both in this place and the two other restaurants on site. Eighteen69 offers smaller plates at good prices, there is enough to satisfy you and the flavours are good. The place is warm and welcoming and well appointed. Be aware that now we are into the winter season, it closes a couple of days during the week, something to be mindful of if you were thinking of eating here and are disappointed when you turn up. Well worth a visit though.

Accoglienza fredda e servizio assolutamente non all’altezza del luogo. I piatti, seppur piccoli, erano comunque gustosi tranne la scelta di formaggi (serviti senza pane né crackers) e il paté d’anatra di gusto discutibile.Personalmente lo sconsiglio; ci sono diversi altri ristoranti in zona dove si è serviti meglio!

We had a great dinner on a Thursday night.6 different kind of scottish tapas.Our favourite was the scampi’s and the chicken. Just awesome food!

Firstly, book so you aren’t disappointed. We had 4 tapas and a side dish between 2 and that was a good amount so we could still fit in dessert. I can highly recommend the sticky Asian chicken - I’ll dream about that dish! And the trio of mini desserts so you don’t have to choose just one.

We ate in the conservatory, sharing 5 plates plus artisan bread. All were delicious. We were tempted with the wee flyer trio of desserts which were meant to be mini size, but proved to be a step too far even when shared between the 2 of us. The desserts were a bit disappointing compared to the main courses. Or maybe we were just too greedy and should have quit before dessert.

We enjoyed a perfect meal at eighteen69. We were seated in the conservatory area of the restaurant which had a lobely atmosphere. Excellent choice of tapas and every dish was delicious!

What a great idea- having small dishes of delectable Scottish food to share. We will have to go again to try the other dishes that we didn’t have!

We visited last night and the food was really nice. We had 14 plates between the 3 of us and each one was perfect, especially the Arran black macaroni dish. All fish were perfectly cooked. Friendly staff. Recommended.

My wife and I ate here during our stay in resort. The meal was great. We really enjoyed the concept of Scottish food served in tapas form and we ate a wonderful selection of foods. Everything was cooked well and the flavours were perfect. The only negative was the venison slider. There was only 1 of them, yes 1 small slider. For the price you pay it will probably be the most expensive burger (by proportion) you will ever buy. It was very tasty but we would have expected at LEAST 2 for that price. The portions for everything else were very generous and more than ample.

A Scottish Tapas themed menu with an amazing selection of dishes to suit any palate. Highly recommended. Very likeable staff. Don’t miss this gem.

War ein schöner netter Abend mit guten schottischen Tapas... Achtung mann braucht gleich mal mind. 5 Tapas pro Person bei 6-10 Pfund nicht gerade günstig... etwas laute Lokation im Wintergarten...

Could not complain about the food, the service, and the atmosphere of eighteen69.

A meal for two last night, Scottish tapas and a bottle of the house merlot. The food was outstanding with every dish (we had 7 between us) packed with flavour, texture and interest. The restaurant was very busy but the tables are well spaced and there were no intrusions to our meal. Our waiter, Ruben, was polite and attentive despite being over-worked! The price was fine for what we had. Highly recommended.

Just outside Brodick and part of a complex, this proved to be a modern, airy, comfortable and relaxing restaurant with a varied selection of tapas - very enjoyable.

Whilst staying at Auchrannie with a couple of friends, we thought we’d try the eighteen69 restaurant.

Fantastic food, nice selection to choose from, excellent service and a very pleasant place to eat too.

I was introduced to Arran Gin here - thank-you, it was a taste sensation. The food is tapas style. Really tasty.

Really looked forward to eating hear, choose 3 selections and sadly 2 were of poor quality, they sound really yummy, but sadly tasteless. However my friend also choose 3 different dishes and liked all 3. Manager friendly polite and served us well.

This was a lovely bar in the auchrannie resort The bar staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about local drinks Joseph was a delight to chat to whine on duty

Part of the Auchrannie complex, this restaurant is situated in a conservatory setting. It is centred around tapas dishes. I had ham hock terrine and haddock pie, beautifully presented and very tasty. Our waitress recommended 3/4 dishes per person; compared to her colleagues she was not very informative however. For small dishes, prices are expensive, as are the wines on offer.

We had a table booked here after a day out exploring and it was great. We had a ferry to catch and they accommodated this very helpfully, enduring we were served quickly. We mostly ordered the veggie dishes and these were really excellent. Very good quality produce cooked with flair; presentation was fantastic and only bettered by the tastes. We’ll hope to return and stay at the resort next time.

We were staying at the Spa resort at Auchrannie and I booked dinner for my husband's birthday. The Maitre D greeted us and said there would be a short wait for our table so we ordered a drink at the bar but we were quickly shown to our table.

The service and food were amazing.! very tasty dishes and a lovely relaxing atmosphereI tried five dishes,beef ,red snapper, , scallops ,spicy chicken all great.

Have not stopped talking about our meal here since. The food was absolutely incredible, everything was beyond perfect.

Never had "Scottish Tapas" before but was very pleasantly surprised. In fact if was so good we went twice during our four night stay at Auchrannie. The servers are very helpful and encourage you to try a few sharing dishes first and then order more if you still feel hungry. First night we had Cullen Skink pie, Lamb with haggis mash, Slow roasted Portobello Mushrooms and Duck Fat Chips. Second visit we had Cullen Skink pie (again), Baked Aubergine topped with cheese, pine nuts and rocket, Seared Snapper with mussels in Pernod broth and Sweet & Sticky Chicken crispy kale and garlic nuggets. It was all very nice and tasty apart from the aubergine which was a bit underwhelming. A few observations: Some tables are in deep gloom so we asked to be moved to a brighter spot, the cutlery really does slip into your food if you're not careful and the "pies" are filling with piped mash over the top. But none of these things detracted from our enjoyment of two very lovely meals. Staff are very friendly and helpful.

We ate here on the above noted date. We booked online for 6.30pm.

Loved the Scottish themed tapas,really good quality dishes,we picked 6 dishes to share between 2 and that was a perfect amount,we then enjoyed a desert to share.We made the mistake of ordering 6 at once as everything comes when its ready,however the staff did advise the option to order 3 and then order an another 3,should we return this is what we would do.Very friendly and attentive staff,nice clean warm decor.

I'd heard tale of the legendary 'Scottish tapas' from Eighteen69, but nothing I'd heard lived up to the experience. The term 'Scottish tapas' was a little disconcerting to say the least, after all, tapas is Spanish, isn't it? But the chefs at Eighteen69 have done a bang-up job showcasing the best of their island in these little plates.

We are regular, if infrequent, diners in eighteen69 and always look forward to a meal there. This occasion was no exception and we weren't disappointed.

We went to 1869 for a family celebration and everyone enjoyed the range of food. Shame some items on the menu weren't available

Scottish tapas, lots of little dishes - 3 dishes per person was more than enough. Great variety, one dish was nicer than the next. Super choice if you like to have a wee taste of everything. Food was delicious and staff were very helpful.

This wonderful restaurant is off the main part of the Hotel at Auchrannie , set in a conservatory just off the atmospheric old bar / lounge of the hotel. Excellent service from a waitress in the bar on a Sunday night where she suggested a small plate from this restaurant whilst we enjoyed a beer after swimming lead us to book for the Monday night as the restaurant would have been closed the rest of our stay.

Really enjoyed our meal at Eighteen69, a restaurant with a difference. Not often you get Scottish Tapas and the selection was great. My wife and I picked 5 mains and the dessert cheese board sharing the lot. Total cost about £41 for food and we left full. My only complaint if I had one was that they say the dishes come out as and when they are ready, but for us they all came out within 20 minutes so it was for me a bit quick. That said I would go back in a heart beat and thoroughly recommend a visit.

The location is really pleasant: airy, bright (it’s a full glazed veranda), very well appointed (yet not excessively – Thanks God! - chic).

A very special restaurant serving Scottish style tapas. The Cullen Skink pie being especially recommended.

I can't express enough about how superb this gem of a tapas restaurant is!

Having been away for a few years we weren’t sure our expectations could be met as we had loved the previous fine dine restaurant. Wow! We had our socks blown off! We ate here 2 nights and absolutely loved it. Each dish was perfection from the freshness of the heritage beets and king prawns to the succulent lamb and duck. So yummy!! The cod cakes were the best I’ve tasted ( and had to have them both nights!) The orange blossom panne cotta was sublime- delicate light and absolutely lovely. The chef and his team did a superb job. We have dined both home and abroad and would be hard pressed to think of a meal that was as delicious. The serving staff were v professional and added to our enjoyment. We highly recommend, thank you for making this one of the many highlights of our stay m,

We felt comfy since the first minute! Everything was perfect: the greeting, table, service, wine & beer, food - a lot to taste from. Here you can try the best of scottish food in small portions.

The Scottish tapas menu is excellent with lots of options to choose from. Very accommodating as we had the dog with us so set up a table in the sun room/patio which is separate from the main restaurants. Did feel we got forgotten about because of this - took a while to clear the table and we ended up having to order dessert at the bar.

How can you not be intrigued by a restaurant serving Irish Tapas?! We came with a group of 4 couples and ordered one of everything on the menu. It turned out to be just right. The only let down was the lack of Sticky Toffee Pudding on the dessert menu.

1869 is located in the hotel which is a lovely old mansion house. The bar area is traditional with roaring fire and comfortable seating on large sofas and armchairs.

Good choice of “Scottish” Tapas, all of which were freshly made and very tasty. Ambient dinning room although are table did get a bit cramped when our dishes were delivered. Friendly staff and a decent range on offer in the adjoining bar.

The food tasted really good but costs more than you anticipate. It's scottish tapas so each dish is small. You should expect to order 3-4 dishes each. Each dish we ordered tasted fabulous and I'd certainly recommend it.

This fabulous restaurant specialises in Scottish tapas and the choice, quality and flavours were something very special. Up until now we have loved Spanish tapas but Scotland can’t be beaten. Suggest you book up now !!

Really enjoyed the scottish tapas menu. Our only complaint would be there wasnt enough on our plates!

Im Rahmen unserer Whisky-Tour habe ich im eighteen69 mit einem Freund Station gemacht. Das Restaurant liegt in der noblen Anlage des Auchrannie Resort, der Eingangsbereich ist ein typisch britisch-schottischer Club mit schweren Möbeln. Das eighteen69 selbst befindet sich dann einer Art "Wintergarten" mit viel Licht. Es werden sehr moderne und designaffine Geschirre eingesetzt.

This was a family evening meal for six adults and two kids (7 & 9 years old). This informal restaurant is set in an airy conservatory overlooking pleasant hotel grounds. The service is friendly, helpful and attentive.

We have been coming to Auchrannie for many years and have always been impressed by the excellent hospitality and quality of food and accommodation.

Just in case you think this could be a Scottish take on Spanish cuisine - fear not, it's all Scottish! It makes choosing very easy as you're not committed to one dish. Three tapas equal one normal appetite. I ate here three times and tried different things each evening. I was not disappointed, although on the third evening I found the portions a little smaller than before, so I made up by having two desserts! The staff were helpful and the service was good. The restaurant is in a very pleasant conservatory attached to the hotel, the Auchrannie Resort.

Date night was a roaring success as we’ve found our new favourite place to dine. The food was out of this world and rather big portion sizes: I was originally expecting small ones as from what I understood of tapas.

A truly different take on a traditional Spanish tapas menu ....., the Scottish way and it works wonderfully. Had to go back a second night to ensure more dishes were sampled. We ordered 3 each both nights and loved it all. Service spot on and also a good reasonably priced wine selection. Full marks.

Probably one of our favourite restaurants of all time. Excellent selection of tapas to choose from and even better desserts. Excellent service as well.

Great food, some of the tapas are very generous in size but others are very small portions, Especially the scallops. Service and quality is superb

Great take on tapas here, beautiful food and wonderful friendly and professional staff. A definite must for your trip to Arran.

Really enjoyed dinner here - the dishes are creative, tasty and excellent quality. Great to have the chance to try something a wee bit different. Our waitress and chef were brilliant with my allergy queries - they genuinely cared and it showed.

The food was wonderful - everything that we ordered came within a reasonable time and tasted great. We particularly liked the black pudding mac & cheese, slow-cooked duck leg, cod fishcakes and baked aubergine. The service staff were friendly and attentive. The only minor gripe we had was that towards the end of the meal we had to wait quite a while to pay because no one was coming to take our card. To be fair, the restaurant had filled up and the staff were quite busy. It wasn't a huge deal anyway.

We visited as the restaurant claimed to be dog friendly. However, on arrival we were promptly ushered away from the restaurant which turns out not to be dog friendly at all.

This a bright and relaxed restaurant serving Scottish style Tapas. We were able to share most plates. Had seven between us, from haggis scotch egg to fish. All was of high quality and well presented. Very filling. Will definitely come here again when next on Arran. Only issue (but at the same time quite funny) was the waiter who could not pronounce Gewurtztraminer. He was trying to say they that they were out of stock, but could not tell me the name of the wine that we had ordered which was out of stock!

Popped into eighteen 69 on our way back to catch the late evening ferry ! Phoned ahead asked if we could bring in our wee dog and explained we would be in a rush ! When we arrived what a welcome !! special table set up in the lounge for us and water and treats laid on for the dog we felt like royalty !! The waitress from Latvia was a credit to the hotel and herself she could not have been more helpful and it was definitely service with a smile! We enjoyed an excellent meal which was very tasty and extremely well priced!! The restaurant provided the perfect end to our day on Arran and we caught the ferry back to the mainland with ease ! Thank you eighteen 69 we will return

The food was amazing and the staff were friendly and helpful.

Visited here on a busy Saturday night. Lots of dishes to choose from and as they were 4 of us, chose a large selection.
