The best restaurants serving British food in Kintyre and the Islands Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

We’ve stayed just down the road from the Gaelic Centre four times now but this is the first time we’ve realised that the cafe is open outwith special events. We had excellent coffee and scones served by lovely friendly staff. The centre is very peaceful and has great views. We also really enjoyed seeing the paintings by local artist Dieter Finger - both the landscapes and the impressive portraits of some of the musicians who’ve played at the Lagavulin jazz festival in the past.

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

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

Absolutely amazing! Our second visit to this fabulous island restaurant. The views from the restaurant are stunning. The service and food is excellent, offering a great range of local produce, and also has good options for veggies. I would thoroughly recommend the Mussels and the Zarzuela is incredible, if you get the chance to try it.

Very pleasant 2 day stay in this hotel. Nice clean rooms. Excellent breakfast and evening meal. Staff were super friendly and very helpful, especially with knowledge of the island, and we send our Thanks to them all.

Been coming to Islay for years. Look forward to eating here on our annual trip. always a favourite with Mom, Dad and children. This year not so much. Something has clearly gone wrong. staff were miserable and food well even more miserable. Tasteless with no thought or care gone into it. we were so so sad to see this happen to Ardbeg and we wondered why? when owned by such a big luxury corporation LVMH this experience was anything but luxury.

We sailed to Skipness Bay, anchored and took the dinghy to the beach. The short walk to the cabin took us past the smokehouse where there is a shop. The weather was unseasonably warm so we dined alfresco. The seafood platter for two arrived fairly quickly after ordering and it was fantastic! Langoustines, gravlax, crab, hot smoked salmon, mussels and a side of bread washed down with an Arran beer and a small Sancerre. Can’t recommend this place highly enough, a real gem in the Scottish food crown.

Wow what a great place. If you want to feel like a local come to this restaurant. It was quaint in a great location and amazing food. Best scallops we ever had. Incredible whiskey selection, the best we’ve experienced at a restaurant.

We came to Jura Isle to take a self driving tour of the isle with a visit to Corran Sands. Our family migrated from Jura Isle to the United States leaving from Corran Sands. Beautiful beach for finding little shells, wandering in the water and just sitting and pondering.

Lovely staff. Great coffee, and the perfect cheese and onion toastie - nice strong cheddar the perfect cheese to onion ratio.

Called in whiskey walking . Had a cheese and onion toastie . It was nice enough but not much taste . Also a cheese and pickle sandwich. Fresh bread but again not much taste . Coffees were nice . We had a scone which wasn’t very good 3/10 for that . Came in cardboard recycling boxes . A bit overkill . Overall prices not bad on the food but can of Fanta was £2.30 . Fair enough you pay more on an island but that’s a bit extreme. Staff were friendly.

Simply brilliant. Great food, and amazing service. The flexibility and care Dylan and Maggie showed to accommodate complex dietary requirements was a lifesaver! They went about above and beyond and really cared for our whole family, throughout our stay on Colonsay. They not only fed us in the pantry but made up suitable meals for our children to takeaway helping us to make the best of our short stay on this beautiful island. I cannot sing their praise highly enough and recommend a visit to the pantry as a must for anyone visiting Colonsay.

Stayed here for two nights - room was absolutely stunning with the most comfortable bed ever. I didn’t want to leave! Staff and owners are lovely and the breakfast is delicious! Will definitely be returning to stay when we next come to Islay!

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.

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.
