The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Got a takeaway for easy night in and we were delighted! Lovely freshly cooked scampi and pizza. Tasty and great value for money. Would highly recommend if in the Port Ellen area of Islay

Good family place ,clean ,food good but a bit expensive.

On the 17th may my daughter and I, after having a few days break at one of the holiday lodges nearby, were about to enter these licensed premises. We stopped first at a rubbish disposal area on the opposite side of the road to dispose of a very small black bin liner first, to keep the area clean As the wheelie bins were open and there was no sign at the entrance and it was on the other side of the road to this establishment. Suddenly an employee who did not identify himself, appeared at the entrance and in a threatening and aggressive manner shouted at me that we couldn't place rubbish in the wheelie bin as he owned it. I then asked where I should dispose of it. H e replied, "I don't F****** care". I suggested that he places a sign next to the entrance to the bin corner as I wasn't psychic and I informed this employee that his manner was threatening, aggressive and obscene. The employee again replied, I don't F****** care, I'm F***** leaving on Saturday". I would strongly advise anyone considering visiting this establishment to stay well clear until the manager can reassure the public that this man has indeed left the hotel. Mr, A Major, Dr, H Habibi

The service when ordering is very strange. Instead of taking the whole order the server keeps running away after each item is ordered. This doesn't really leave any chance to ask for extra as for example different milk if needed for dietary requirements. The food was ok and the rest of the service was quick. The atmosphere is a bit like a school cafeteria.

Nice and quiet atmosphere. We had the calamari.....chicken wings and haggis nachos. All were delicious. Then we had the steak and ale pie.....chicken parmesan......aged steak and a large Royal salad. All were off the chart delicious.

You dont feel welcome here. It was all a bit of a rush and wait. Staff were unable to keep up with coffee's and orders. Poor choice of cakes, we gave them a miss. The outside was covered with cigarette ends so gave poor impression. Im afraid was not impressed and will stop earlier at Tynedrum in future.

We booked all of the Park Lodge rooms for Scottish country dancing weekend and stayed for a few extra days, as did a number of other dancers. We also had a number of other dancers joining us for dinner on two nights & the hotel kitchen coped really well with 40-odd dancers. Slick service and tasty food that was well presented. Since returning home, we've had a number of positive comments about the hotel. In particular, people were very complimentary about the staff - without exception all staff were super-friendly and helpful. Accommodation was fresh and spotlessly clean.

I was very disappointed with the rolls I ordered , nearly £10 for two roles, and a can off juice would not mind paying for good quality but was really poor . Would not vist again

Lovely little inn and restaurant. Food was excellent. Staff was friendly. Get the Cullen Skink Soup—a Scottish tradition.

Overall disappointing. The prawn cocktail was gorgeous at £17 for a starter as we're the starter portion of scallops however at £17 for Famous fish and chips it was very poor. Not a large piece of fish and plate was filled with frozen French fries. Not appealing at all. It is not cheap to eat here and the seafood was lovely but overpriced.

Didn't have any food left at 7.30pm on a Saturday night 😕

Friendly environment, good banter and selection of drink. Karaoke is a winner!

Lovely restaurant situated in the courtyard, decently priced food etc, after your visit or before the house tour, its advisable to take a bottle of water on the house tour, there is a lift for those with mobility issues, many stairs.

This cafe is DEFINITELY OPEN ( today is March 8th 2025). The location is beautiful, the setting spotlessly clean and the food excellent. Highly recommend the full breakfast. Welcoming staff, good selection, particularly so early on in the season. We note the phone number is incorrect and have pointed this out to the NEW OWNERS. Wishing them great success with this new venture, we will be back.

Popped in here on the last day of our 5 day trip to Port Charlotte, just for a cup of tea and a cake, as we were having a meal later.Was surprised to see such a full menu, if we had known sooner we would have dined here. Instead, one night we had driven to Bowmore for a meal, as our hote reataurnat was fully booked.so tea, coffee and cake it was, and theywas lovely. I ended up coming back later that day for a baked potato.The facilities were clean, and the staff friendly (We visited during Covid-19).There were outside tables with a sea view and a large car park, as it is serving a campsite.If I am ever in Islay again, I will be sure to come here for a meal.
