The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

We had food in the restaurant a few times, which was really good, macaroni was amazing, although no veg with kids meals even when menu said peas. Paying the bill was awful, tried charging for other people’s meals. Then the card machine was down another night. Sat pm no draught beer or juices. Had a takeaway Sat which was a total shambles, husband seen the staff member with our order and asked him. He continued speaking to another couple, then one of them asked if that was fish and chips and he handed it over from our order 🤬 so by the time we got a new one the other food had been sitting getting cold. The pizza topping was ok, the base was so hard that the sauce was sliding off it, the fish batter was far too greasy. The staff looked stressed when it was busy, probably needed more help.

Stopped in for lunch. Service was excellent, relaxed and very personal. Scallops were to die for then came the best Venison steak I have had in a long time.

Been coming 40yrs. Nostalgic visit, as moved to Gibraltar. Half Restaurant closed, told fully reserved. Empty tables, that could have been turned over, ( by time limit on bookings, during busy spells. We were not told, Takeaways could eat outside or by the table in the Deli area. We had to ask, if these table were available!!! Come on, you were better than this!! Bought Kinlass Fillet from the Deli. We’ll try again next year!

Arrived here for lunch with only 3 tables with sit down diners , the place was deserted. Met by a pasty faced Lady who asked if we had a reservation , I jokingly stated she must be kidding as the place was empty, her reply was , if you have no booking then sorry , we are fully booked ! Please remember this place is in the middle of nowhere really so there would not be 40 people turn up in the next 30 minutes for god sake. Disappointed went into the garden centre for a look about and a coffee .. after 30 minutes went back to the car to continue our journey , out of interest I popped back into the restaurant for a look and still pretty empty , maybe another 2 additional tables taken. In short I felt the hospitality offered was zero , there didn`t need to be the attitude of " no booking , no entry " . Even though I love seafood and know their reputation for quality , there was no need for the attitude and rudeness. Hence the poor review

Stopped in here on the way home from a short break. Having never been before, we stopped when we entered through the main door and stood waiting for the tattooed girl with the white T-shirt to finish typing before enquiring about food. She completely ignored us and when she eventually turned her head -I said hello - and she turned back to what she was doing and totally ignored us. We then went left into the bar and took our own seats. Food was nice, place was nice but that girl really ruined it for us. Don’t think I’ve ever seen someone so miserable in their job. Sadly won’t be returning and giving money to a place in which staff make you feel unwelcome.

What a beautiful place to stop and rest to nourish the body and soul! Stopped in here for a coffee and cake and it was lovely. The staff were friendly, attentive and happy to chat with you. Service was great and unhurried. Coffees were very nice and the Paradise Cake 👍🏻👍🏻. Highly recommend it and yes, I’ll be back!!

Fish n chips ottimo e croccante, patatine perfette. Prezzo buono, peccato per la pioggia incessante del giorno che ci siamo fermati che ci ha costretto a mangiare in macchina

We stayed at the Loch Lomond Arms to celebrate our 3 year wedding anniversary, and it was amazing. Our room was upgraded and we received complimentary Prosecco and dessert when we dined in the restaurant. The service we received from the staff was outstanding, we were made to feel very welcome. This along with the wonderful standard of rooms and meals made our trip feel very special. Beautiful location with lots to see and do - Couldn’t recommend highly enough

As a frequent visitor I feel obliged to leave a review. The restaurant is under new management. Friendly, professional and sadly at the moment in winter - quiet. Food is delicious and great value for money. With the staff only too courteous, we always enjoy a run up to the Slanj for lunch and cakes. I can’t comment on alcohol offering as I’m driving, but the coffees are lovely.

Lovely cosy and warm room with a double and a single bed!! Bathroom was great and even had a bath but was really cold though with no heater. There was a good selection of tea and coffee provided, however the milk was very out of date. Some of it was cheese!! Would maybe be better with a small jug of fresh milk.

Scallops were absolutely delicious and the beef and ale pie was melt in the mouth. A great selections of wines and a lovely stop for dinner after a long day visiting distilleries. Staff were attentive, surprised just how busy it was for a Monday evening.

I am giving you an excellent review based on previous visits but arrived Thursday 14th November at 11:15 and it was closed. Website says open at 10:00 and opening time on door says 10:30. Several people left disappointed during my 20min seat on bench. Off to Port Bannatyne for my brunch. Can you update your opening hours on door and social media platforms.

We stayed here for 3 nights during the Easter weekend. The staff were extremely friendly, the room was spotless, we had a dog and everyone was very friendly around the dog and just as welcoming. Thres the restaurant which doesn't welcome dogs which is separate from the bar side which which does welcome dogs so they accommodate both. We had breakfast lunch and dinner, although the menus aren't the biggest the food is absolutely outstanding, one of the best places we've ate to date. The prices are fantastic and we couldn't recommend the hotel more. It's very cozy, has a fire and you'll want for nothing. Peter, Caitlin and Ellie were on duty during our few days aswell as another girl. They were all very well educated in the area and extremely helpful. If your looking to stay in connell or close to Oban CHOOSE HERE! the sunset and surroundings are beautiful. We extended our stay because we loved it that much. And was surprised that we got a change of bedding and new towels when we came back from our walk out room was completely refreshed. 😁 We will definitely be back again! Thanks so much team!

Good memu with plenty of choices to suit most people tastes.Staff were friendly and gave us time to enjoy the food without being hurried.Will go back again.

The Mish is a Tobermory institution and deservedly so. Its Mishdish restaurant is warm and homey, with a reasonably priced menu whose componentsare mostly sourced locally. We had a lovely evening there over a bottle of wine and excellent and generous servings of seafood and veggie specialities. For starters we had oysters, haggis bites, and a vegetable tartlet, followed by mains of langoustines, hake and a wild mushroom bourgignon with celeriac mash. Everything was served with courtesy and care for the customer. We will surely be back.
