the names changed CAFE BELLA firstly we should of walked straight a way the customers were looking glum. then we realised most were waiting a long time for meals. we sat down to order and found that the waiter told us every thing was off the menu except over priced fish and chips he hassled us to order quickly and ran around at high speed .after getting our food there was a hurry get our money and leave..he cleared the table whilst we were still drinking our teas and coffee. he was also very rude to other customers beacause they wanted to see a menu ..A WARNING TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS >>>>STAY AWAY>>>>

It was raining so we were looking for somewhere to have a coffee. When we walked in and saw the place was empty with only 2 ladies having a drink we nearly walked out, wish we had. Latte was £3.90 as was the cappuccino, cakes didn’t looking appealing so didn’t bother with one. The waiter was dashing about took your order quickly and disappeared, don’t know why didn’t have any other customers to serve. The coffee was just about o k. Before leaving nipped to the toilet. Out of 3 one was out of order, one dirty. No soap in the dispensers. My husband said the gents was o k. Stood to pay the bill but had to wait for the busy waiter. Left feeling glad to go.

Dining area empty on arrival. Food ok if overpriced (£18 for fish & chips plus a flat soft drink from the soda gun). Service rushed, plates cleared away as we finished them. Waiter pretty odd- seemed determined to get us out as fast as possible. Pushed hard for tip when paying bill.

We walked in and a man asked us how many and told us to take a seat at any available table - of which there were many. He brought us menus stating “but you just want fish and chips don’t you” - we looked bemused as not sure why he’d said that. Then told us that the breakfast items and pizza items on the menu weren’t available. All they had was soup, fish and chips or chip shop meals. We had only gone in to the ‘cafe’ for a drink and maybe a cake. When he returned to take our order my husband said we’d like a tea and a latte. The man seemed angry at this stating “so you don’t want food?” Swiped the menus from the table and walked off as my husband was saying “I’d like a piece of cake.” This was ignored. The man was already walking off tapping his device. He shoved the menus back in their place and then appeared to go out of the front of the cafe. We weren’t sure due to this display of utter rudeness whether he’d taken our order or not. So we just left. It appeared that this is a sit down fish and chip shop not a cafe and needs the name and menu updating so people are aware. Definitely would not recommend at all.

Changed its name to Cafe Bella. It was raining and we wanted to be inside to eat lunch. The male waiter was very friendly and welcoming. The food itself, everything we ordered was battered even my haggis with chips and my father-in-laws smoked haddock. It was a bit over priced for the quality of the food. Large menu with some items not available.

Caffe was empty apart from one other couple. Gave our order and waited for 30 minutes before asking where our meal was. Manager went off and returned to tell us our ticket had been misplaced. "These things happen" was the excuse and offered us a free soft drink as compensation.

When we went, the place's name was Cafe Bella which I think is the current name. Walked into what we though t was a Fish and Chips carry out to be greeted by a guy who simply asked if we wanted the fish and chips to share and directed us to the restaurant adjoining. Not being real sure what ws going on, we entered the restaurant where we paid. Shortly after, our fish and chips appeared - more than enough to share and very good. We found his place while on a tour of the Highlands and glad to have done so. Very good price and excellent service and food. A great choice in this picturesque village.

Now called Cafe Bella. Don’t often write poor reviews but this is definitely needed. We had fish and chips and it was the worst we have had in a long time! The batter was soft, oily and poor. After having fish and chips three times in the last week this was the worst. Husband said his was okay and as I tried to tell the manager he walked away which is just rude, although the owner thinks this is not, as he didn’t say anything bad! Charged 16 pound for soggy fish. The soft drink included isn’t any soft drink either it’s just one of the draughts although it doesn’t state this in the offer. Poor fish, flat coke and poor management.

We were on a bus tour and stopped on a rainy day (July 6, 2022). The food was good and hit the spot. We all ordered fish and chips and they were as good as any other we’ve had. Particularly of note, it was a busy day for the area, and several of the other restaurants were closed. Our server worked harder than any server I’ve ever seen. He was fast, complete, and extremely polite. Great place. Great food. Great service.

On a wet day visit to Inveraray Jail just up the street. Dropped in for a coffee and snack. The special was Cullen Skink, a Scottish Haddock based broth, or thick soup, with diced potatoes, onions and cream. It came with bread rolls, in a very big bowl, red hot, and absolutely delicious. The lumps of haddock at the bottom were enormous. A bargain at about £7 or £8. So delicious that I bored my relatives with how good it was. People at the next table ordered it too, and raved as well. The other snacks were fine, but I didn't notice as I was still banging on about the broth....

Ho cenato volendo rischiare una pizza in Scozia. Pizza frutti di mare, molto ben farcita, ma la pasta è quella che mi ha stupito di più, cotta bene, leggermente croccante, sono rimasto positivamente colpito da fare personalmente i complimenti al pizzaiolo. Anche il servizio è stato veloce e simpatico . La musica anni 80 in sottofondo ha reso tutto molto piacevole.Consiglio a tutti di provare per credere

Called in while on a coach tour. Ordered cullen skink (which was lovely) and a roll and sausage and a cappucinno. Roll was dry and sausage was so hard it couldnt be eaten. No coffee. 20 minutes later i asked for my coffee. Waiter looked blank even though he had written it down. 10 minutes later i had to go to the counter and ask about the cappucinno again. They finally brought it by which time i had to leave to get back on the coach.A terrible advert for Scottish tourism.Avoid at all costs!

My wife and I had lunch at the Royal Burgh Cafe on our second day in Scotland having just arrived from New York, USA. Our waiter suggested the Cullen Skink (6.95 GBP); good advice, totally different than anything in the USA and a delicious seafood soup. My wife savored an equally tasty Tuna Mayo Sandwich (4.35 GBP). Note: Waiters are very polite and will not rush patrons; be sure to get their attention when you're ready to order or want your check.

We called into this cafe on a rainy afternoon and was immediately cheered up by the owner Julie, who could not have been more helpful. I am very strict vegetarian and Julie was honest enough to say that they used beef fat for cooking, however her son made chips and battered mushrooms especially for me with vegetarian oil. Julie offered lots of advice on where to visit in the area and not to get off the point the food was first class. Absolutely delicious. Well done Julie and your son who is the chef,we will be back.

This is a seaside type of small bistro / snacks place but it's very good in that category. Not a swish place for dinner but more than adequate for a light lunch or snack. We had filled ciabattas which were just delicious and could see people around us enjoying some nicely cooked food. Spotlessly clean and with friendly service, not at all expensive, it's great.

The fish and chips here are absolutely superb, as good as you’ll get anywhere in Scotland, beautiful fresh fish and superb chips. However, my complaint is that in the take-away section, you hardly get the impression that your custom is wanted let alone valued. You get asked what you want, with no welcoming smile or even tone, you place your order and gave an order barked at you that you should stand at the far end of the counter as if you’re some kind of undesirable character. The impression is that in comparison with the customers in the restaurant, you’re an irritation.

A bus load of us arrived on a Sunday evening just as the cafe was about to close. We were from a ramblers club and looking for somewhere for dinner. The cafe very kindly kept their doors open, found us all tables and in the end served around 20 covers. That wasn’t the best part, the food was exceptional as was the service all for a reasonable price.

Family holiday touring Scotland visited Inveraray for the day went visited the jail which we enjoyed! Felt hungry so fancied fish and chips as there is only one chip shop we ended up in the Royal burgh Cafe which is joined to the chip shop next door! The place was queued out the door but we got a table for four within five minutes, service was fast, The menu was full of variety we settled for two haddock specials and pizza margarita we waited around 20 minutes for food place was packed out but food arrived to our satisfaction fish was very tasty golden batter and fresh chips were proper chip shop chips and my mother and father split the homemade pizza and really enjoyed it. Would definitely come back again!

I'm giving a low rating because of Service and prices charged......... I have not really a problem with charges" you make your choice = pay your money"........... This is not the first time I've been to Inverraray nor the Royal Burgh cafe and I'm quite aware of the tourist trap culture...... How ever I may appear to have been unlucky But that's No excuse for what happened........... The Menu was priced as expected "Not entirerly eye watering but stingy none the less But well we're on a short break this is part and parcel.......... Order taken fairly quickly but the fish and chips took a little time longer to arrive than expected to then be told about 5 min and half the order eaten that it was the wrong and dearer fish served ............. "OK but not my problem if you've made a mistake" .......... The place became quite busy during our wait for food and I did notice the two girls feverishly taking orders but Nothing was being served unless you were one of the patrons who were complaining about the delay............ I to had to complain as the drinks ordered took 15 mins to arrive in total......... 5 mins after asking "Wheres my order?" I did notice several patrons getting very upset and some left without having anything delivered........ What was delivered was very acceptable and nicely presented if a little cold with obviously standing for a few minutes....... The two girls as I said worked feverously to get the orders in and were to be comended but were unable to to both orders and deliver ..... Cafe was drasticly under staffed for what was obviously waves of tourist buses coming in and I really don't think it's a Surprise at this time of year............ "Sorry" .........For the charges made for food the service given was very poor ......This is a quick cuppa Snack Cafe thats bordering on mid range prices and took an hour to eat a luke warm fish & chip and a coffee and then to cap it an extra 10-15 mins wait for a Pepsi and had to get pushy to get bill aswell ...... Unless as I say you were obnoxious and then you were served fairly quicKly

I visited this café for lunch on the 4th of March with three friends. Food was barely passable (soup) and request for a one bacon roll was dealt with in a most unhelpful manner as it was 12h10 and apparently 10 minutes after the permitted time despite the café being virtually empty. The manner of the refusal was very poor and the request was only granted when we threatened to leave. Extremely poor customer service.

Husband and I had visited here a couple of years ago so were happy to return with friends, unfortunately we were very disappointed. The staff were very friendly, although one had clearly been drinking and reeked of liquor. One of our group had a dairy intolerance and there was nothing that he could have, including a cup of coffee (just black), having driven for many hours he was most disappointed (and hungry). I had a scone, which was served warm (without asking if that's what I wanted), it was reasonable but I've definitely had better. It seemed a bit pricey.

I ordered the Special Fish supper from the menu. It said Fish, Chips with Bread and Butter, and tea or coffee. The fish and chips arrived (very small portion of chips and nothing special about the fish) but no bread and butter. I was waiting on the server returning to ask if everything was OK with the meal but this never happened. When I was finished, I went to the counter to pay and asked about the bread and butter. I was expecting him to say they forgot, but his reply completely dismayed me. He said the bead and butter is optional. I can only assume he meant it was optional for them to decided to not give it to you because I was given no say in the matter. I'm glad we decided not to treat ourselves to the banana splits, just in case the bananas were optional.

Regrettably I stopped here and ordered a coffee, tea, ciabatta and fish and chips. This was most certainly the most expensive fish and chips of my life, especially for the quality. It cost £10.95 and they come from the chip shop next door! They were soggy chips and tasteless fish that felt like yesterdays leftovers. Yurk! The ciabatta came in at a whopping £7.95 and was barely filled, perhaps they were low on ingredients that day? It was lightly burnt and the bread tasted very cheap, whilst the steak inside was chewy and fatty. As if this wasn't enough the tea was given to me unmade as we were presented with hot (not boiling) water, a tea bag and a cup! We had to remind the girl to bring us milk. The cheek! The coffee was average and I have had better in the area so would recommend popping next door for a decent coffee and a tea that's actually made for you rather than a do it your self job. Overall I feel my review is fair and takes into account competition in the area and the quality of food. The one positive is that the staff were relatively friendly, although seemed rushed at times and they gave me tap water, probably the tastiest thing on the menu. I would recommend avoiding this place and heading to one of the much nicer cafe's/restaurants on the same street! AVOID!

We arrived at our Inveraray stop while on a 14-day Road Scholar trip. Lunch was on our own that day, so we tried to quickly scope all the restaurants. When it started to rain, however, we ducked into this cafe. This turned out to be a very happy accident. The place was authentic Scotland, but with a rather diverse menu for a small cafe. We decided on the Fish & Chips, which were delicious with large portions.. The food came quickly. The servers were very friendly, and all scurrying around very busily. Even though we primarily had one server, they all did double-triple-+ duty, stopping when walking by our table - and others - to ask how diners were doing.

Inverary is a pretty small town so we ended up eating here twice. The first night we had a cheeseburger and fries (We're American!) and the second night we had pizza upon the recommendation of the waiter. They were very friendly and helpful. Oh, yes - we had the fried Mars bar for dessert! Wow - a whole ton of sweet!

I am very very picky with fish and this place knocked it out of the park. Everything came out pipping hot and we couldn't get enough of it! We wanted to have a beer with our lunch and since there was three of us our waiter brought us three different bottles with glasses to share, what a great way to try something new.

This was just a quick stop for us, but we enjoyed the food and location. It was one of few restaurants with outside seats and good beer. We also had a panini, but it was a bit pricey and not as filling as I would have hoped.

We stopped and had arrived just before their lunch time started. Nevertheless, the service was excellent. He helped suggest the finest foods at the restaurant and got them out to us quickly so we could resume our tour. The pasta was delicious and the chicken special was amazing! The desert was spectacular. Everything was made in house. We described the drinks we like and our server brought us something he hand picked that was perfect just for us. Highly suggest this restaurant!

Nice people, good food. We had fish and chips and the local soup. But they didn’t had the pizza they normally offer.

Waiters were very helpful and eager to take care of us. They recommended the Cullen Skink and it was excellent. Much like a chowder with a smoke flavored Haddock in it......amazing! I highly recommend this meal for a quick snack or meal.

Our Hiking travel group went here for dinner one evening and enjoyed the good original food. Most went with the fish and chips. The regular portions are huge, so I was glod to have gone for the "pensioner" version, which was a bit smaller. Fish was fresh (no wonder since the little village is right next to the sea) and tasty.

We took a vacation to Scotland, and stopped in at this great restaurant for lunch. We were met with a friendly environment with great food! We all had the fish and chips- my husband got the smoked fish and chips which was especially outstanding!! Check them out!! — Tennessee, USA

We stopped here mainly because of a server with tons of personality met us outside. Martin was fantastic, very energetic and great service. The food was good, my wife enjoyed her fish and chips which was a large portion of not overly aggressive batter which was good. Kids shared the spicy chicken pizza and devpured it. I had a calzone which was good but wish I would have got the pizza. Over all, a solid choice for lunch.

Walked in for a quick lunch. Ordered fish and chips and husband ordered the soup. The chips were the worst frozen freezer burn, badly cooked. The soup was barely warm and pureed. Waiter barely understandable. We paid 17.90 pounds for this awful lunch.

We absolutely loved visiting this place. Myself, my partner and my 2 children stopped to eat after a long drive. The staff bent over backwards to help us feel comfortable. Couldn't meet a nicer lot. The food was amazing I had the lasagne which I highly recommend it was mouth watering every bite. My partner and children enjoyed the fish and chips and ate the lot. We had a lovely time we will be back.

We stumbled across this place on a drive back from the West Coast. It was just perfect - delicious pizza and cake and the service was so, so friendly - the best we had on our week long trip. Keep up the good work.

The staff was personable and friendly, and the food was excellent. We came right at the start of the dinner service, and our service was very prompt. Also reasonably priced, and there was a good variety of dishes to choose from, many of them locally sourced. We tried a couple of the daily specials on the waiter's recommendation and were very pleased with our selections! Our family had a great time.

Went in for lunch, it was not too busy, we sat for ages. Waitress saw us, walked past us a few times, spoke to people waiting who came in after us and took their orders. We were still sat waiting. We tried to speak to her, she just ignored us. Sat waiting and still no sign of anyone taking our order. After seeing others have their orders taken we walked out. So if you want to be ignored, go here. If you want food and service, then don't bother.

We had a lunch here , and it was very over priced for what we had, the bill came to £21.60 the portion was very small considering the ciabattas was £8 and another £1 was added for cheese, I would not recommend here for lunch!

After sightseeing dropped in here for much needed lunch. Welcoming staff, good selection of menu choices at reasonable prices for a tourist town. We chose the fish and chips and this arrived freshly cooked with bread and butter. Very enjoyable.

Amazing food and atmosphere. The manager, Edwin came to our table to check on everything. and was so nice and genuine. Brandon, our waiter was attentive and very personable. The food exceeded our expectations! We only had about a 15 minute wait and trust me ...it's worth any wait that you have!
