The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Absolutely amazing ice cream! My wife had Fudge and Salted Caramel, and I had Turkish Delight. If you are looking for really creamy and tasty ice cream, I highly recommend The Pokey Hat. Will definitely be going back.

Lovely little quaint restaurant, reasonably prices , food excellent and staff very friendly and helpful Highly recommend a visit Book ahead to avoid disappointment

Very busy, which is usually a good sign. However, 20 minutes after we sat down we were offered drinks and to give the food order. 10 minutes later the drinks arrived, minus one of the drinks ordered. It was still busy, with only two staff serving, and they did apologise about the delay. The food was good, nothing standout about it, apart from the lack of wilted greens with the seafood special. By this stage we’d lost the will to complain.

Highly recommend. Good simple fare but really this is a great hal day activity. We drove about 10 minutes south of Oban for the ferry. I think there may also be a bus. In summer the ferry goes whenever it's full so nearly every 15 min. It takes 5 minutes to cross and honestly it took longer e purchase the tkts via app. The walk to the tea house is about an hour. Very hilly but paved or packed gravel. Castle an additional 20 min walk. Tea house has indoor and outdoor picnic tables. Bathroom. Cakes definitely worth the walk. We got in kinda late like 2 and many foods sold out. Soup and crusty roll was awesome

Arrived in Campbeltown for a wee visit and we were all drawn to this cafe. I’m so glad we went in. Hands down the best bowl of lentil soup I’ve had for many years, with a toastie and a perfect coffee. The staff were friendly, helpful and professional. Would highly recommend and if I ever go back to Campbeltown, I’m back for the owners Mum’s lentil soup! Thank you.

Last minute decision to take the ferry to Mull. Great food, lovely background music and hidden wee treasure. We walked to the end of the pier in Tobbermore.

What a meal! It was unforgettable. The food was divine, the view glorious and the service was brilliant. This is one of the best meals I've ever had. Simple, yet exotic and flavoursome. The soup even had flowers from the garden in it!

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 !

We are staying at Highfield Holidays. We have just eaten your Tralee Bay Fish n Chips. My husband, Geoff, picked them up. They were absolutely delicious. The best I’ve tasted for a long time. I normally leave some batter but I ate every morsel. The fish were so fresh. Thank you.

Battered scallops, calamari and a crab sandwich. All delicious. Turned a soggy day into a treat. I love seafood but this place is really special and I would recommend a detour to visit.

As it was the last night of our holiday we decided to dine at The Colintraive, and we were happy we did. The staff were cheerful, friendly and polite, and others in the pub were also friendly, providing a lovely atmosphere. The food was amazing; well presented and really tasty. We would definitely recommend a visit here. We did book beforehand, as we'd been warned that they can be quite busy at times so it is best to make a booking.

Lovely home baked scones, cakes, the best homemade soup. So nice to find this place and loved the cake cupboard with honesty jar for out of hours delights. Loved the biscoff tiffin.. Will highly recommend this place to others. Exceptional food, thank you

We’ve been multiple times before and visited again a couple of times on our recent Sept/ Oct holiday and loved the ice cream. Unfortunately they didn’t have the yoghurt based ice cream that my partner loves. They were also closed a couple of times when we tried to get another.

Insanely good burger! Fries were perfection, salty and crispy.
