We’ve stayed just down the road from the Gaelic Centre four times now but this is the first time we’ve realised that the cafe is open outwith special events. We had excellent coffee and scones served by lovely friendly staff. The centre is very peaceful and has great views. We also really enjoyed seeing the paintings by local artist Dieter Finger - both the landscapes and the impressive portraits of some of the musicians who’ve played at the Lagavulin jazz festival in the past.

Just home from an evening at the Kilberry Restaurant, very friendly welcome from David and great service from the young man who waited on our table. It’s probably been said in previous reviews so I can only add to them by saying the food is sensational in a warm cosy environment. Can’t wait to return.

On a solo sailing trip to Tarbert I was fortunate to get a call back confirming that a table had now become available. I don't normally do fine dining without the wife. My starter of Scallops in garlic butter with Samphire was excellent, no, they were better than excellent, followed by delicious Cod Fillet in sauce. The team were welcoming and the whole dining experience was first class. Meeting a friendly and knowledgeable couple from New Zealand made the "Dinner for One" a more relaxed and enjoyable evening. Go there, eat good food, get great service, and meet nice people.

We came to have a dinner and instead of greetings and normal social interaction upon our arrival were met with hostility and rudeness from the waiter. When we were leaving one of the chefs flipped us off. I never experienced this kind of attitude towards customers anywhere in the world.

Looking for a place to have breakfast before going to a booked 11.00 (AM!) tasting at the Lagavulin distillery, we chanced upon ‘Labels’. What a nice find. Run by Lynn, who bakes all scones, quiches etc herself, we had a great time eating there and talking to her. A very sociable lady, with a great sense of humor. Her scones are very, very good, both the cheese and chives ones, as well as the fruit scones. Returning next day we tried the quiche, which was great too.

Absolutely amazing! Our second visit to this fabulous island restaurant. The views from the restaurant are stunning. The service and food is excellent, offering a great range of local produce, and also has good options for veggies. I would thoroughly recommend the Mussels and the Zarzuela is incredible, if you get the chance to try it.

We had a great evening in the bar, friendly staff (also very knowledgeable and helpful). Great food and a roaring fire on a cold night. Seafood selection is very impressive. And the fish and chips were so good.

My wife and I, with our small dog visited during a lunch time break in Bowmore. A great welcome by lovely staff, nice cocktail, followed by one of the nicest pizza and pasta combinations that we have ever had. The staff are particularly welcoming, and were lovely to our little dog. We thoroughly recommend and we will use again when in the area. Thank you. A++++

We stopped by on a visit to Tarbert from Portavadie. It was late morning so only had some coffee & soup. Food & service were excellent - the Cullen Skink was superb. Very good range of gluten free options which we needed for 1 of our party.
