The best restaurants serving Other european-cuisines food in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

On a solo sailing trip to Tarbert I was fortunate to get a call back confirming that a table had now become available. I don't normally do fine dining without the wife. My starter of Scallops in garlic butter with Samphire was excellent, no, they were better than excellent, followed by delicious Cod Fillet in sauce. The team were welcoming and the whole dining experience was first class. Meeting a friendly and knowledgeable couple from New Zealand made the "Dinner for One" a more relaxed and enjoyable evening. Go there, eat good food, get great service, and meet nice people.

Had a lovely meal at this restaurant within the Anchor hotel. I had Cullen Skink, which was a proper chef made one, followed by tagliatelle and sticky toffee pudding.

Dog friendly, that's the reason for the two stars, it's not the food or the service. Scamming the soft drinks, glass of coke/IrnBru was half ice with massive chunks taking up most of the space, that amount of ice is whisper close to trading standards reporting territory at £3.50 for a small glass. Classic Caesar salad was mediocre, the pre-prepped from M&S is much better at half the price, these guys want £12, which is way over priced, adding chicken costs another £6 which is a scandal. Pan seared squid was perfectly cooked, all THREE bits of it, however it came swimming in chilli oil which would be OK if they gave you maybe a slice of dough bread to mop it up, but nope that's an extra £5 again and a bigger scandal than the added chicken. Pricing is comical considering the food is middling and the service is just basic, for these prices I expect my cutlery set for me not handed to me in a paper napkin. Clearly they're trying to capture the Loch Lomond tourism money which which might work in high season but not May. Overall poor value for middling food and basic service, but if that's what you're ok with just go to Wetherspoons and at least get cheap drinks.

We found this hotel by accident, dog friendly bar and welcoming we had coffee and cake. My carrot cake was the best I’ve had for a long time. The views from the decking were amazing.

Very long wait. Not great value and not great food. Had been before for lunch a year ago and loved it. This experience was not the same.
