The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

My favourite secret remote destination for food and drink on the west coast. Discovered by accident, lunch was so good we returned and stayed nearby last weekend so we could enjoy dinner and wine too. Being dog friendly is an added bonus and breaks the ice with nearby tables and their friendly canine guests. Venison haunch and skate wing were both 10/10 🤌 Perfect way to finish a nearby hike before heading home too.

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 !

Had a fantastic overnight stay with the best views out of my window. Staff could not do enough for me. Breakfast service was excellent. I would be very happy to come back again. Hopefully soon. ❤️❤️❤️

I had booked lunch for a party of six for 1pm 14th February. The staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. The food was freshly made and excellent and although we had a three-course meal, I had forgotten that I had also ordered a cake to celebrate my wedding day. I took it home with me to enjoy later and it was amazing. Great food, very reasonably priced and we all had a great time. Thank you so much guys you made my day even more special.

Great hotel in a remote location that is Campbeltown. Can’t fault it. Rooms clean,modern and tidy. Food was excellent, it all felt homemade and fresh. Would recommend! Staff really friendly and helpful too.

We popped in here for some cake on the way back from Glenfinnan. The cakes looked delicious - and my daughter devoured my partner's raspberry scone, even though she said she didn't want any! At first I though there would be no vegan option for me. I'm not vegan but I am allergic to dairy and eggs. But the team were so helpful with the chef triple checking the ingredients on two options. I'm so pleased when you get service like this. Picked up a vegan cook book while I was there.

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 food and good service. My husband had the sea bass and I had a fabulous meal of duck. We both indulged in the lime and lemon cheesecake. Everything was great quality.

So glad we got the last table! Most beautiful meal we've had on Bute. Make sure you reserve a table.

A hidden gem! Cycling around Dunoon and stopped here for a coffee! A bookstore crammed with an eclectic mix of books, which also doubles as a gift shop and serves coffee and cake! Lovely service!

We found this to be a very interesting book shop with lots of crafts and other interesting items to browse and look at. Clothes and good coffee and cakes upstairs. All good quality stuff - no ‘tat’ but interesting as well. Worth a visit.

You'll never find another pub like it, brilliant. Also, it is very entertaining when you get a good crowd. Highly recommend

Serves great kebabs, also does some great fortune telling if you pop in at approx 7pm on the 15th Wednesday of the year. We got our fortune told by a lovely woman (who was also purchasing a Donner Kebab).
