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

Found them by lucky accident, a warm welcome not just from the log burner and soon we were tucking into a delicious steak pie and vegetables. We'll definitely be back to sample the huge array of cakes soon. Thank you Sandra & George for a lovely lunch.

Petit endroit accueillant,très bon moment en ce lieu, breakfast excellent , accueil chaleureux, décor cosy.

A 2 min drive from our holiday let and a great experience. Saturday early evening dinner with our dog. Friendly and welcoming staff. Comfortable seating in a beautiful location. The food was served quickly and was freshly cooked. Pigeon and black pudding starter, steak, and fish mains plus a couple of fantastic puddings. Almost perfect (the medium rare steak was closer to medium well) meal and I would happily recommend to anyone in tgee area.

Chambre superbe. Cependant mauvaise isolation des chambres donc quand on tombe sur des fêtards 🥴. Fish and chips excellent surtout la purée de petits pois. Accueil chaleureux. J’ai adoré cette convivialité.

This is the loveliest tea room with the friendliest staff. They were so welcoming and even offered to give my boyfriend and I a lift! Such a great place to stop for a coffee near the loch. I would love to come back here!

Food was lovely and well priced. 2 courses for the price of 1. I got soup to start which tasted homemade, a hot roll and butter which was lovely. My main was tempore haddock and chips with peas and tartare sauce which was absolutely gorgeous tbh. Well impressed. My husband had chicken strips in spicy sauce to start and a burger with skinny fries and coleslaw which he really enjoyed. My son had chicken strips and fries for his main, his dessert was brownie and ice cream - from the kids menu as he is 9. My son's dessert was forgotten about for over half an hour but he got it eventually when I reminded the server; they were busy so I can't feel too annoyed. Lovely restaurant. Would eat there again.

Wonderful view overlooking the Loch, warm friendly pub with twinkling lights. Nice pub type food options & the steak & pie were delicious. The bedroom was clean, comfy bed, great shower & Loch view & had a fab coffee machine. Barman friendly & made a whisky suggestion & it was delicious 😋 breakfast was plentiful & sets you up for the day. If I was being picky I would say fresh fruit & a cappuccino instead of filter coffee but this would not stop us returning & we will definitely return.

My family came in yesterday after spending a great night at the Lodge for my uncles 80th birthday. They were out for a walk in the morning and popped into the coffee shop on my recommendation. They all told me how rude the lady was that served them. She banged the chair down next to them with a face like thunder. She was very aggressive. My father was so annoyed he told me he was ready to just walk out. Very disappointing after I told them to come in. Maybe she was having a bad morning, Im not sure what was going on with her but its not a nice way to treat customers. Oh and my dads coffee was cold too. Not so good. It makes me sad because Ive been in a lot and always been happy with the service and the food.

Saw restaurant was quite empty so went inside for a meal. Told no tables left! Got distinct impression only residents were being fed. Didn’t even try for the next night. Shame as the only other eatery was closing. 🙁

As a frequent visitor I feel obliged to leave a review. The restaurant is under new management. Friendly, professional and sadly at the moment in winter - quiet. Food is delicious and great value for money. With the staff only too courteous, we always enjoy a run up to the Slanj for lunch and cakes. I can’t comment on alcohol offering as I’m driving, but the coffees are lovely.

Ordered 2 paninis with chicken bacon and cheese which were tasty but small portion for the price charged. They came with a tiny salad and small portion of crisps. Had a coffee and hot chocolate and was charged £27. Next day went into Ben Arthur's bothy and we had a 2 course meal and drinks for only £10 more which was far better value.

I’m sorry to be leaving this review. We have been coming to Ardlui since we were little with my mum and dad (we had our boat here) It was our special place and we have the best memories. Dad passed away in August and it was his birthday so we decided to come for lunch with my sister and daughter. We ordered 2 steak pies and chicken bites and chips. We were really disappointed the steak pies were dreadful no puff pastry and just gravy hardly any meat. Both the same so we said to waitress who said she would get us more meat. It came and tasted completely different to what the first meat tasted very strange. We didn’t eat all our meal. No one asked if we enjoyed our meal or apologised we were extremely disappointed and ruined our day. The food has really went downhill and charging crazy prices for the quality they are handing out that’s why we were the only table at 1pm in. I really hope you take on this review and sort the issue.

Service first class. Food delicious especially the starter of Korean Brie.

The dining experience and customer service here is absolutely dire. I ordered a vegan burger and was brought a beef burger - when I politely told the waiter that this is not what I had ordered he was argumentative and clearly annoyed. 90 minutes after ordering, both myself and my friend who had ordered a carbonara had not received our dishes, although others in our group had received their (very subpar) dishes over 30-40 minutes earlier. We went to the bar to request refunds, only to be told that they were being cooked right now, and so we could not get refunds. We were told the food would be a few minutes. A further 15 minutes later, the carbonara came out and was clearly just a microwave meal. My burger was still nowhere to be seen, so I again went to the bar to ask where it was. I was told by the same member of staff that it had just been sent out, so I went back to my table. I then sat for a further 15 minutes, waiting for this elusive vegan burger. At this point I had been waiting 2 hours. I went to the bar again and told the same staff member that I didn't even care about the burger anymore, I just wanted a refund. I was again told that it would be a few minutes, which of course at this point I didn't believe a word of. He then suggested that instead of a refund, he'd make me some drinks rather than the burger? Not free drinks mind, just drinks up to the value of the burger. Absolutely baffling honestly. Finally, a different member of staff came out and processed a refund for me. He gave me a vague apology about being understaffed. I left absolutely starving and with nowhere else to go for food. The single highlight about this disaster of an experience was the singer who appeared about half way into my long wait for a nonexistent burger - he was hilarious and kept me laughing despite my rumbling stomach. Avoid this place if you want to keep your sanity intact.

Stopped off for a breather during a drive from Glasgow to Oban. Great view. But don't go inside! The place is pretty filthy: contact of any kind with the floors was not a good idea. Didn't smell great either. Staff definitely not in line with the usual friendliness of the Scots. Drank my coffee with much trepidation, and left. Stayed away from the food.
