The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Really disappointing meal. Staff were friendly but food was dreadful. We all have fish and chip and left with the question “how many times had that fish hit the fryer?” We didn’t make a fuss but quietly paid our overpriced bill. With hingsight really wish we had as it was one of the worst meals I’ve eaten in a long time.

Great little restaurant, menu had a great choice and extremely reasonable. Would highly recommend the steak pie it was superb Staff were brilliant, nothing a problem

Not many places to go for a cup of coffee in Tighnabruaich but this tearoom did not disappoint. We were staying near Tarbert and got the early morning ferry across. After a long walk we were ready for coffee. What a lovely tearoom. As we sat there fresh home made scones came out so we ordered coffee and I had a scone. It was the best fruit scone I have ever had - and I’ve had a lot. The lady was friendly and we were not rushed. Highly recommend

Fantastic location overlooking the bay.

A chef who knows how to balance their flavours and does it well. Innovative dishes that surprise and please. Front of house staff that care and are knowledgable (and know when to go and ask when they don’t). What’s not to love! Two minutes from Oban centre is no excuse not to go!

This place used to be good, but it's not customer friendly any more. Breakfast HAS to include black pudding - no substitutions, even though most people don't like the stuff. Perhaps they over ordered. Anyway, it means you either get a rather small breakfast for £9.55 or you get a normal sized one and throw 20% away. A minor point, perhaps, but shows a particular attitude to customers in general.

We did stay at Airds, having been once before many years ago. It has changed hands twice since then and is very different. The guest lounge was rather airless and largely unoccupied during our stay. Our room was comfortable if a little dull, on the ground floor looking onto the car park at the side of the hotel and accessed through the small bar and two difficult small fire doors. The bathroom will benefit from a couple of twin hooks for towels, which I recommended to reception when I left. The bed had a 15 tog quilt! It was as if we were in the Arctic - admittedly summer has not arrived this year but we felt pinned to the mattress and reorganised with other covers we found in the wardrobe! The dinner on the first night was lovely and we were joined by our daughter. The food was tasty and generous and the service was good. The second night was not in the same league. The food was not so good, and the service was dreadful with a very long wait. We understand there was a breakdown in communication between server and chef. I did tell the hotel how I felt and I am sure they will be turning things around as soon as the staffing levels can be fixed. Everywhere is having shortages at present.

From the minute we arrived Lou looked after us till the minute we left Lou gave excellent customer service throughout our stay We had dinner on arrival which was delicious & like wise the breakfast was great, nothing was a bother for Lou Room was excellent very modern & spotlessly clean Thanks for making our stay very welcoming defo be back Mark & Shirley

A great cafe serviving freas food and a good range of drinks Such a good find on such a small island which we enjoyed cycling around having crossed from Port Appin Recommend you stop here if you are on the island also visit the museum Staff superb

A really delicious meal served by friendly attentive staff. We cannot recommend the Glen more highly! Plenty of veggie fish and meat options and an absolutely amazing homemade Sicilian cheesecake! Thank you for a great evening to celebrate our anniversary.

Wife and I had lunch at the Glenbarr garden centre cafe. We were able to book a table online. The staff were really friendly and I had one of the best burgers I've ever had anywhere. Really tasty and succulent. Nice range of scottish produce in the shop.

Beautiful garden centre, shop and cafe. Loved the whole set up here. Seafood platter for lunch was amazing. Great cakes too. Couldn’t fault it. Can totally recommend.

I ordered a takeaway from here and it was really delicious. Easily the best tikka korma I have ever had. Everything ordered was enjoyed by the family. Only negative was the chicken pakora is tiny strips and a very small portion for the money. But thats just personal preference.

Party of 8 visited today for breakfast. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and the breakfast rolls were excellent. Great value for money and we all enjoyed the chat!

So sad.. this was our go to cafe 2 years ago.. a beautiful building and a buzzy atmosphere. Always full. Good coffee an array of home bakes (GF, you name it) and lovely lite bites. First day back in the island, we made a bee line but despite the lovely welcome and a good cup of coffee NO food other than a bowl of soup and a doughnut. The place was empty.
