The best restaurants in Mid Argyll Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Sunny Saturday afternoon - dog walk on Carsaig beach. Went to the coffee shop for a coffee - once in we fancied a bacon roll - can't go wrong - right?. To be fair there were a number of customers ordering toasties etc. They did say "we are very busy and it might take a while" What does that mean?" "ten minutes probably" Well sitting in the sunshine and looking out over the boats coming and going is no hardship. After half an hour we got a bit impatient and were assured that they are just almost there! So, after 40 minutes we were delivered two dry rolls with crispy bacon which falls apart under pressure. Dry as a bone inside and greasy outside? That's quite a trick! My labrador enjoyed it anyway. Why are we so hopeless at hospitality in Scotland?

Lovely welcome for us and our greyhounds. We came for lunch as we are on holiday in the area and then came back as the food is so scrumptious. We ate off the specials board the first time with lamb shanks in mint gravy and off the main menu the second time - fish and chips. And delicious puds - the absolute best raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake in the world closely followed by peach and chocolate crumble. It was a treat to find somewhere so welcoming to our hounds who although large are very well behaved. A big round of applause for the delightful members of staff for whom nothing was too much trouble.

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.

Small little restaurant, so you must book. Nice people. Starter was very good - Kebab. Now for a moan. The biriani had 4 cubes of chicken at best and a pile of rice. For a dish that costs as much as you could buy 3 whole chickens!!, but you choose to be a bit tight on the quantities of meat. What a shame. Will I return? Maybe if everywhere else was closed and I wanted a plate of rice?

Stopped here this morning visited Johns snack bar. Lovely roll and square sausage with bacon and nice coffee. Will be back first time stopping here

Seriously over rated & expensive. Stopped for a quick breakfast. Service was so slow that we'd finished a pot of tea by the time the food arrived. Ordered toast, avocado and poached eggs. Toast was cold, eggs cold and avocado had some sort of green sludge mixed through it with toasted oats and seeds on top. Not what was ordered. Not what was on the menu and I had specifically said I wanted something plain. Don't bother - it's not worth it!!

Cool in decor and atmosphere. Beware the yougest staff. The Lloyd Loom chairs of various style can be uncomfortable. Breakfast, all served is quite poor. The "Fresh Orange juice" is not fresh but cheap. Dinner in this room can be dull too.

Great breakfast, good choice (even for vegetarians/vegans) and friendly helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast - next time we might even try the breakfast cocktail …

Really lovely food: one of us had the curry of the day, the other a mac cheese. Very tasty and promptly served. Excellent value too. Staff very courteous and attentive, couldn't fault a thing.

Fantastic staff and lovely steak pie. Compliments to Jay the waiter for his welcoming manner and communication skills and one of the chefs Martyn for asking me if my meal was satisfactory. It was. More than.

Nestled in the picturesque Melfort village, this charming eatery is an ideal spot for a casual bite or a leisurely evening meal. With its serene surroundings and inviting ambience, it provides a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The friendly and attentive staff further enhances the overall atmosphere. Be sure to indulge in the delectable seabass – it comes highly recommended!

We stayed at the Inveraray Inn and the Vital Perk was a brilliant find! Friendly and fast staff and delicious coffee and muffins. Highly recommend it and looking out onto the loch is stunning! Great pit stop before heading to the castle too as just right by the gates.

this has got to be the weirdest experience I've had too date we ordered egg sannie but they only had fried eggs fine not a problem I ordered Cullen and tuna sandwich but was told there was no tuna would o like a fish wrap instead I'll gee it a bash first time ever I had a fried fish mushy pea wrap it was ace would highly recommend this

Good food at a good price with friendly service and the lady serving happily filled my daughter's water bottle (asking if she'd like some ice). The total opposite of the very unfriendly/aggressive Caffe Bella opposite. Strongly recommend Campbell Coffee but stay well away from Caffe Bella/see my review of them.

Not too bad just to fill a gap when you're hungry, nice helpful girl serving
