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

Went for breakfast before we got on the boat home - excellent food and great, friendly service - just wished we discovered it when we arrived on the island so that we could have used it more - really enjoyed our visit

After searching for restaurants on Bute before our visit there, The Waterfront's reviews were consistently good, so we booked for the beginning of our holiday. We were not disappointed! The food was truly delicious, but not only that, we and the couple we met at the next table enjoyed a very entertaining evening of fun and banter. So much so, we were both there again a few nights later, we had enjoyed it so much, and of course we wanted to try more of the outstanding food. Thank you Gabriel and the Waterfront for making our stay on Bute that much more memorable! 5 stars without a doubt and highly recommended.

Party of 8 visited today for breakfast. The owner couldn't have been more helpful and the breakfast rolls were excellent. Great value for money and we all enjoyed the chat!

Christine you are a star cake coffee milkshake soup toastie there is nothing you can’t do Absolutely love this warm welcoming coffee shop

Very friendly local post office and shop with recent addition of a cafe. Good coffee. Had breakfast which was very good and filling. Dog friendly which is great after a walk.

No more cups and saucers or teapots or cutlery. Compostable plates and cutlery. Two choices of main course pasta, in a paper pot with goats cheese £8 or a bagel with bread and red onion in a paper bag £7. Instant coffee in paper cup £2.50 per cup. Certainly NOT worth the walk

I imagine this place is constantly busy during the summer. It's in a wonderful location surrounded by beautiful views! As we visited during the weekday around 3pm, we were lucky to be sat in a booth at the window. The staff member who served us was wonderfully pleasant. We had a short wait on food, but it was worth it for the fresh dishes that were served to us. Portions were ample (especially for lunch), but we couldn't resist the desserts on show and ordered cakes to take away for later.

Just had a lunch with friends service was very poor food ok

Met up with a friend for lunch today. ALWAYS reliably happy with our meals at The Esplanade over the many years.... But today's young chef was very astute with his skills. We had *Cullen skink, the baguette was fresh and warmed....so often it is not; (it's the little things like this that make you come back,), *fish n chips, and *incredibly chunky steak pie, with a lid rising up to the ceiling I'm my opinion all 3 meals really were the best examples on the island. Well done to: *The Esplanade for keeping up the standards of quality which bring people back * The Chef * The always friendly and helpful waitress 😁 (Love the new curtains and furnishings 😁)

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.

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.

We loved our fish & chip meal here. The staff were fantastic...sadly this pub CLOSES indefinitely from Saturday 28th September.
