The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Excellent meal, very good quality meat and expertly prepared

Lovely evening with friends in this excellent restaurant. Everything is just 'right' , decor, furnishings , table settings, very smart staff, service and excellent food. We all thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Thank you!

What a wonderful venue, warm and cozy, excellent decor. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the food was first class, plenty of it and was hot. I would say that the venue is very reasonably priced. If I’m ever back in that area, I’ll book a table in advance and return to this wonderful Bistro. Thank you.

This is a new addition to the eating options in Tobermory - and will completely put it on the map as not only’ vaut le detour’, Michelin style, but as a destination in its own right . I had the tasting menu, my partner the a la carte ( so first, no nonsense about the whole table has to have the tasting menu)- the venue is bright, the welcome warm and informative, and the food - some of the best I’ve ever had. The langoustine and halibut courses were absolutely delicious whilst the scallops - with fennel oil and white chocolate sauce, amongst other flavours- the best I’ve ever had. Totally brilliant. Sauces for all the meat and fish , absolutely imaginative, some unusual, and worked! Wine choices delicious, atmosphere ‘ local’- tables talking to each other! ‘ and welcoming - ‘ walk ins’ were warmly greeted. All in all - an experience. And again - the food - superb. I didn’t take any photos but someone will….. we’ll done, and I wish you all the success you strongly deserve!

We went for a family meal at the end of our week on Mull. What a find. Great food and service. Ross’ food was inventive and beautifully presented. He came to speak with us after the meal and was a pleasure.

As soon as you walk in you are made to feel so welcome by Mark and his staff. The food was outstanding. Everything was so fresh and lots of local produce used. Mark is very enthusiastic about his food and genuinely cares that you enjoy your meal. Lots of vegan options. Will definitely be be back.

Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

Superb! Delicious freshly cooked food and a warm welcome from the hosts. Excellent choice of locally sourced meals with lovely vegetarian options. Thoroughly enjoyed every course.

A big portion of fresh haddock and chips that was cooked to perfection Nice seating at an open fire place. Friendly owners and fast service.

We have been coming to this namesake Horseshoe Inn for 40+ years. The new owners have brought a fresh approach and it didn't disappoint. Lovey,friendly staff who wanted to be there and help the customer; nothing was too much bother. Food is gastro pub, very tasty and good sized helpings. I would most certainly recommend and we will be back..

Popped in for a glass of wine before checking in to our hotel, but was tempted by the varied menu. Sea bass, Pattas bravas and courgette and carrot small plate, topped off with a cheese board, attentive service and delicious and fantastic food. Highly recommend.

Popped in for coffee and cake. Owner was very attentive and welcoming. Happily return for some good strong coffee and lovely homemade cakes

We booked lunch for a large group in October, and Helen was fantastic at liaising with us about our menu choices. The food was delicious - fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the spacious dining area and the views, and really appreciated the warm welcome of Helen and her staff. I definitely recommend eating here if you're on Mull!

We hired out Chatters for our wedding and it was the perfect place to host our wedding breakfast. The meticulous planning of Katie and Rosie was exemplary; they really listened to what we wanted, and catered for every need. Communicative, clear and kind. The service from all of the staff was amazing - glasses never empty, extra portions, and personable conversation. It felt like being welcomed into someone's home. The food at Chatters is some of the best in the area and all of our guests are still talking about the fantastic meal they had: "One of the best meals of my life" said one! The pudding trolley (a Chatters institution) was fabulous as always, too. The kitchen team are every bit as amazing as the front-of-house team. We knew the service from the Chatters team would be excellent, so we employed them for our wedding reception at Dunoon Burgh Hall, that same evening, and the transition from location to location was seamless. Our evening buffet food went down a treat, and sustained everyone for the rest of the night. Our day would not have been what it was, if it wasn't for the team. They are absolutely a 5-star restaurant and dining experience - we'd give them more stars if we could! Thanks again to Katie, Rosie and the team. Lewis and Ed x
