The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Mediocre food, scruffy premises need a makeover, 1 member of staff pleasant, other 1 abrupt and would benefit from a customer relations course

Popped in here several times during our stay on Bute. Great coffee and scones and excellent service from the staff. Can also recommend the morning rolls, shortbread and Abernethy biscuits. Hope to visit again soon.

Nice surroundings and atmosphere staff friendly and efficient the menu was varied and not too expensive considering the location I had the fish and chips which were excellent and a decent portion size too would not hesitate to come back here nextime I’m in Inveraray

Absolutely wonderful people who run the hotel and a beautifully homely atmosphere along with decor! Supper clean and very well presented rooms along with immaculate bedding etc. The food at this place was top notch and Chef Cara’s creations were divine! It’s the sort of food you’d expect in an over priced restaurant somewhere swankey, the presentation was beautiful and the flavours were fantastic and each plate was empty every time! We could of gone out and tried other places to eat but when the food was that great you really don’t need to! So thank you for the delicious meals guys! It is a must if you want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life, harbour walks and the bay there are soul juice! 2 people on the beach over the hour I was there with the dog. Definitely returning in the not too distant future.

Lovely food, fantastic service!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

We called in here for lunch. There is car parking to the side. We chose soup with freshly baked bread, a cheese scone, a feta cheese salad, and a smoked trout open sandwich, plus tea and coffee; £41.00. The soup and bread were great, and the salad was super-tasty! We sat at a picnic table in the courtyard, in the sun - lovely! Clean lavatory.

Dined here, as staying in hotel and did not fancy walking into Campbeltown to find a restaurant so it was easier to stay put. Booked for 7.30 but they called us to put us back to 8.30 as they had a party booked in. They then call our room at around 7.20 to ask can we come now but no as we weren't ready. Agreed we'd come asap around 7.45. Party of 10 had grown to 14 and were very very noisy. Couldn't here ourselves speak. My starter of scallops,expensive but tasted fine. My halibut was tasty and enjoyed the meal. One of my sisters thought the langoustines were overcooked and again expensive. Steaks and lasagne were eaten with my sisters saying yes all good. Service all good and then breakfast in the morning. Menu very good, service a bit haphazard but friendly waitress and all enjoyed that meal too.

Charming hotel with great views. Emma who looked after the hotel was helpful and friendly . The food was good and prepared to order. The hotel was quiet due to it being February re tourists.No locals came into the bar which is a pity as it’s always nice to hear from people who actually live there so this should be encouraged somehow. Decor could do with upgrading .

Beautiful restaurant with large windows and a view to the sea and Jura. Great music, art on the walls, lovely decor. Really delicious food. Great service. It was a high standard but relaxed and welcoming. Ideal restaurant, would love to go again. Breakfast is also amazing.

Went for lunch but they were only serving coffee and cake, which we tried. Coffee was awful and cake was worse. Really disappointing as we had been looking forward to going there.

Was expecting great quality fresh food . But very disappointed . Looking forward to local mussels but off the menu . Scallops were fresh but the sauce let it down and the bread was stale and expensive . Both in the end had fish and chips , that was two very small pieces of fish each , couldn't hardly see any fish , most likely frozen due to the texture and appearance . Staff were excellent and beer was good

Just finished a fantastic meal delivered to the Anchor Tavern. Great food huge portions great value. Well done Sea Dragon.

Its not the most exciting hotel, but is fine for a work stopover. I've eaten here the last couple of times and was very impressed by their steak pie with nice veg on the side and a good pint of Guinness. Their haddock and chips is nice too

This is the perfect place to call in for an drink after a long day sight seeing. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The bar maid, Joan is an absolute gem and will go right out of her way to make you feel like one of the locals. We were staying in Bunessan and called in most evenings. When we left, she gave us hugs and just made us feel special. The other lady whose name I never did get was just as warm and as welcoming and always found time for a chat. If in this area, please call in for a drink and something to eat. The food is beautifully cooked and well presented.

Beautiful location and decor. Food looks delicious. But, really really wish the cooked breakfasts were better; under-cooked for both of us on two occasions now (and somewhat slapped on the plate) so we will not order this again. While appreciating the aspirational up-market vibe and hoping it gets there, under-cooked breakfasts aside, the prices are way too high for the current offering. Reducing the cost of filled rolls would be a start. 2 stars for the food, 3 stars for the aesthetics, 1 star for the overall pricing.
