The best restaurants in Dunoon Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Really amazing food! Such a nice and welcoming atmosphere. Good vegan/veggie options too. Will definitely be going again!

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

We went to Chatters for the French evening on Fri 10th November. What can I say? Food the best on this side of the peninsula and would give city centre eateries a run for their money. Front of house had Rosie working her magic getting everyone seated and settled (the place was full). Eva was knowledgable, funny and selected superb wines to match the food so tastefully prepared by Katie and her team. It was tasteful, flavoursome and beautifully presented. Having good friends in Lyon, I never knew the French preferred their cheese course before dessert but it does make sense. A wonderful evening and I look forward to going back for an a la carte experience next time.

Had a lovely night stay with dinner - Breakfast was also great! Scenery and beach area was beautiful. Staff very friendly and attentive xx Clean and Welcoming x

Wonderful bakers and cafe centred in Dunoon town. Wide range of bread / rolls cakes and bakery products. Cafe with large menu choices from full cooked meals to lighter options of rolls and cakes. Helpful and friendly service with staff serving you at the table. Toilets available for customers. Full disability access throughout and disabled toilet - at least a toilet a wheelchair can fit in. Parking kerbside close by when space allows and there are also public car parks in Dunoon - highly recommend …

Day trip from Glasgow and popped in for lunch food was amazing couldn’t fault the service and music playing was amazing

Food was OK but was in shock when I asked for a cuppa of tea with my £14 fish supper to be told they had ran out of tea bags !! 😵

Lovely Sunday lunch, with the biggest Yorkshire pudding ever! Still one of the best places to eat in Dunoon.

This cafe went above and beyond. Not only did I get chips and cheese with a coffee (after a 30mile bike ride) but I also managed to charge my phone and when I asked when the ferry was due got an up to the minute status

Thank you to the lovely people at Eat Street at the Stadium - they went above and beyond to make battered fish and French fries for me - different from their current daily special of breaded fish- excellent customer service. Food was delicious! Thanks a bunch guys - great little find.

Great little cafe for the family.

Came to Dunoon to see Beluga Lagoon’s concert. Needed a soaker-upper in the morning and wanted to give our English friends a good first experience of a Full Scottish. The Swallow Cafe did not let us down - super quality ingredients, cooked perfectly and served with a smile. Highly recommended.

Came in here for a quick lunch whilst on holiday in the area. Fun American decor and great food and service to match. Kids menu also very good. Would definitely recommend.

The best chip shop in town and the staff and owner are very nice

We were staying in the village for a week and ate at The Ardentinny on three evenings, and had excellent meals each time. Well presented and good sized portions. The menu is fairly small, but well varied, with an obvious use of local products where possible. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, and it is dog friendly. (Just check their opening hours during the off season) Highly recommended !
