The best restaurants in Cowal Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Had one of the best meals ever in this fantastic refurbished restaurant. Tide and Thyme have always produced excellent food but the new styling is truly remarkable. Everything just spot on. Our meals were all perfect, zucchini fritters, scallops, lamb, sea bass, seafood linguine, everything was beautifully presented, great portions and tasted sublime. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Good luck....not that you will need it....!

Absolutely wonderful meal… superb!!

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!

Great service delicious coffees and cake and hot choc thoroughly recommend

Excellent from start to finish . Clean and modern accommodation with breathtaking views . Menu in restaurant is interesting and will cover even the pickiest eaters requirements ! Spa facilities are great, albeit not open just now but can’t wait to return when restrictions are relaxed . All in all a lovely day and night can’t wait to back with girls for a spa weekend .

We had walked the mile or so from home and decided to get a coffee from the cafe. No seats inside and people already waiting so we took one of the benches outside since we were wearing our arctic coats. We enjoyed our coffees with cake, then went to the pier to take some photos before setting off home again.

Lovely cafe with beautiful loch views. Really impressed with the range of alternative milk available. I had a delicious piece of Christmas cake. Friendly staff and dog friendly

Yes off the beaten track but well worth it

Great little bar, Food is amazing, staff are brilliant. It's got a real community feeling when entering. Top tip if looking for food. Book early. It's always busy.

Very tasty kedgeree, crab bisque and smoked salmon selection, all quite plentiful and good. Restaurant was quite chilly.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to the Inver Restaurant, having learned about it from a Rick Stein TV programme. Rather than travel through Glasgow and up the A82, I came north via Stirling and Crianlarich, where the sunlit Autumn scenery was truly spectacular. The restaurant is perfectly positioned, with a fine view across Loch Fyne. I was reminded of the Three Chimneys restaurant on Skye, as here is another restaurant, bravely situated in a remote place, trusting that their skill, enthusiasm and focus on sustainability and local produce will attract knowing people from far and wide. I was staying overnight in one of the bothies right next to the restaurant; it was fitted out exactly as one might want, with plenty of room, a large and comfortable bed, a vinyl record player (!) and a big picture window looking out across the water to the remains of Castle Lachlan. The restaurant itself is an extended former crofter's cottage, simply but stylishly furnished and decorated. There is a relaxed atmosphere, and the staff make you feel completely at home. I had arranged to take the tasting menu with the wine flight. I could hardly wait for the kitchen doors to open and the next course to arrive! Each one took me on a wonderfully exciting journey through the local area. The wines, carefully chosen to match the food, were never the obvious choice, and each one brought on more feelings of discovery and pleasure. I asked the staff to forgive me, as I had been instructed to photograph every single thing in order satisfy enthusiastic demands from friends at home and abroad -which they are now sharing, enthusiastically. In summary, I would say it's definitely worth the time, the journey and the money to visit the Inver Restaurant. You will not be disappointed. In many ways, it's a living example of how the crofting principle can be applied to a contemporary business. For that initiative alone, it deserves our support. Secure in your wise decision, you can then sit back and admire the enterprise, originality and skills demonstrated in the imagination and preparation of the food on each plate.

Popped in for lunch after getting a recommendation from a friend. Friendly staff, lovely decor and great location. Plenty of choice on the menu and everything g we ordered was excellent. Highly recommended.
