The best restaurants in Ardrossan and Arran North Ayrshire South West Scotland

Four of us on a cycle tour called in this morning for breakfast after getting off the ferry. My husband and I had the veggie breakfast and we can honestly say it was the tastiest and best value breakfast we have ever had. Poached eggs, delicious mushrooms, spinach, grilled halloumi, toast and the tomatoes, oh the tomatoes, plentiful and the very best taste ever 😋😋😋 I must also mention that the staff were all very efficient and friendly. We are sadly unlikely to ever be there again but would advise anyone to try the veggie breakfast.

We had a great meal in this excellent restaurant. They serve what they call 'Scottish Tapas', letting you try lots of different dishes with a Scottish slant. There are Meat, Fish and Vegetarian options with lots of side dishes and all of the ones we chose were delicious. And the waiting staff were helpful, efficient and charming. Would go again at the drop of a hat.

Friendly staff who were very helpful and accommodating. Lovely food and a great place to spend an afternoon/evening with a pleasing window view of the ocean.

We were staying in Lamlash so we ate here a couple of times during the week. Good food, coffee, bakery products and cake. Highly recommended

Definitely not the best eating experience. No atmosphere and indifferent staff. Food was poor watery sauces cheap ingredients factory made fish goujons with Tata sauce from a jar my wife couldn't eat. Cheap prawns and she is still looking for the crab in the starter. The venison steak was ok but some of the worst potatoes I've had. Definitely won't be going back.

Last time we were on Arran, the café was sadly closed, and so we were very excited to try it this time. Very friendly staff and a lovely selection of cakes and traybakes to choose from. Lovely views from inside the café and from the outside seating. Would recommend if passing and we will return soon.

Good food, soup was really tasty, staff are friendly, service is quick. Limited opening hours but worth visiting. Feels like a real community meeting place. Huge slices of cake and a warm and clean coffee shop. Worth visiting for lunch.

A fantastic place to come for lunch. The food was amazing! I came with my partner and my friend’s family (4 adults, 2 kids). 2 of the party have dietary needs- 1 celiac and 1 who has a lactose intolerance. I have to say, not only was the food fantastic, but the Gluten free options were fantastic, and the staff were amazing. Not only were they friendly, but they all seemed to have fantastic knowledge of the foods they were selling and the allergens that were in them. We were really impressed and actually returned a second time. The second time was just as good as the first. Definitely worth a visit!

Was checking the menu and the door was slammed in our faces and close sign put up at 3pm so we got the message and left so I take they were closing early good way of welcoming visitors to arran

Hotel looks uninviting from outside but inside the decor and soft furnishings are excellent. The three course meal was delicious and the staff were well trained friendly and polite

This was a great three night stay in the Pub we were made very welcome plus our three dogs certainly plan to return If you want to get away from it all sit by a cozy fire this is the place to go

For a start, I don’t understand why a commercial building built in the late 90’s doesn’t have a lift given my guess of the average age of their clientele. We went for tea and a scone with my mum who is recovering from getting a new knee. We were told that we could have a table in the foyer cos the restaurant wasn’t accessible. They then changed their mind and told us that we couldn’t order a tea and a scone because there was already 6 people in their restaurant and it would be at least 30 minutes before they could put in a new order. There were 4 people in the empty shop, two in the foyer and presumably numerous staff in the cafe. Between them they couldn’t get us a tea and a scone. We won’t be back.

My third day on Arran and each day came to Broddick branch All good: pies cake coffee Friendly staff.Highly recommended

Corrie tea room and golf course are perfect examples of Arran at its best….full of character and welcoming. We had an excellent lunch of sandwiches and delicious soup, with great friendly service. Just what we wanted ahead of playing the wonderful golf course. Would thoroughly recommend.

Excellent food and portions. Will be back. Value for money.
