Gunpowder Cafe & Bar at Melfort Village in Argyll & Bute

Nestled in the picturesque Melfort village, this charming eatery is an ideal spot for a casual bite or a leisurely evening meal. With its serene surroundings and inviting ambience, it provides a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The friendly and attentive staff further enhances the overall atmosphere. Be sure to indulge in the delectable seabass – it comes highly recommended!

This establishment is highly recommended for dining. The youthful staff are delightful, displaying amiable and courteous service. Despite being a small team, they consistently deliver exceptional service. My wife and I really enjoyed our visit.

Great service. Kids loved their food. Highly recommend. Looking forward to a return visit. Relaxed and friendly. Dogs enjoyed their doggy bar snacks.

During our visit the food wasn’t terrible however the kids meal we ordered for our 4 year old did not arrive with our main course despite also having starters before the main courses, ordered a hot dog, the ‘hot dog’ that was received was more like a plant based sausage that was rushed through, if this was normal it should be advised on the menu so a suitable choice can be made. An adult could be understanding but a 4 year old struggles to understand why she wasn’t getting her dinner and everyone else had theirs. When the adult main courses were served the starter plates hadn’t been removed, would believe the waiter was inexperienced and had not received any training. Very disappointed!!!!

Enjoyed an evening drink sitting on the outdoor balcony followed by dinner sitting inside among the pleasant decor and relaxed atmosphere. We both enjoyed fish of the day (sea bass) on a leek and potato mash with broccoli. All very well prepared. We appreciated the good service. Good selection of wines, gin and draft beer.

Outstanding service. I was looking for a lunch stop on a motorcycling trip around Scotland and came across this cafe/restaurant by accident. I sent an enquiry and Ann-Marie offered to open early for us. Great service and food in a scenic setting. Would heartily recommend and I will certainly be calling again when next in the area. Thanks Ann-Marie.

Myself and my husband are just back form melfort village. We had dinner in the gunpowder and it was fantastic!!! The staff are so friendly and helpful. I had the seabass with garlic potatoes and it was honestly one of the best meals I've had. Would highly recommend visiting for a meal and a beer.

Clean,good atmosphere. Had the salt and pepper squid and haggis Bon Bon’s both cooked fresh and lovely good quality and presented well

Fabulous meal here. Simple, straightforward and delicious. Perfectly cooked steaks by local delightful staff with a well managed, varying menu. This new venture deserves to do very well; as regular visitors to the area we’ll be back again.
