The best restaurants serving British food in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.

Wonderful place with amazingly delicious food, great atmosphere and kind and very friendly service. Thank you so much for making our day and feeding a hungry couple after a long day! ☺️

Marvelous honesty tea tent set up by local school students in a fantastic setting. This was the most unexpected treat on our cycle tour along Jura's coast

Am Birlinn is a fantastic restaurant, excellent food in a relaxing atmosphere with lovely staff.

The Waterfront offers a delightful dining experience with delicious, fresh food. Gabriel, the most welcoming and attentive host, sets a warm atmosphere for guests. Chef Pav prepares exceptionally tasty dishes, with a notable focus on gluten-free options. The Waterfront impresses with both hospitality and culinary excellence. We are so lucky to have the Waterfront in Rothesay!!

1st class all round good food good service highly recomended ,

Lovely Sunday lunch, with the biggest Yorkshire pudding ever! Still one of the best places to eat in Dunoon.

This place is fabulous. Stopped for lunch there after taking new car for a spin. The interior is eclectic, cosy and welcoming. Log burner adds great atmosphere. Then there are the hosts who were wonderful jolly and so helpful. Really nice people. And then there is the food. I had steak pie and Missus had lasagne. Marvellous home cooked food and good portions. Had a pot of tea that was served in lovely crockery. And then there are the prices. Great value. Would be very hard to beat this place. If you passing then you must stop for food and if you are not passing then take a detour and stop here anyway. I am going to visit this place as regularly as i can

Great selection on the menu. Food delicious. Staff are so lovely & helpful. Small gift shop in cafe also. Gorgeous scenery 👌🏼

Excellent evening meal with family to celebrate 50th birthday. Cosy bar all decorated up for Xmas and dog friendly too - highly recommend

Nice food. We both had Haddock and it was very good. Quiet atmosphere. Beach was so close for a walk.

Nice enough wee resteraunt, food was ok, It's just unfortunate that yet another wee place up here 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿, has been taken over..again, by londoner's who have the money to buy a business that some locals wanted, Know the island so well,❤️. Also know that some of the locals are not happy,50/50 split.

EE USK had been specifically recommended to me, and which dishes were excellent. Despite having a dog friendly area, I was not allowed to dine with my friend from Australia and my two dogs. Shame. Long drive for a big disappointment

I really enjoyed this. It was a special lunch with my girl. Great food, super friendly service and amazing views.

I've just found the best fish, chicken, chips and much more, ever in my life, I had a massive chicken and chips, I could not finnish it excellent pleasant service !! When in Oban, don't miss it !!
