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

We had been travelling all day and we're staying at the Inn. The dinner was hearty and delicious and the breakfast just what was needed before another big day driving. Views over the Loch were beautiful.

Consistently Underwhelming – The Palace Chip Shop’s Pizza Falls Short** Over the past two months, I have given The Palace Chip Shop in Helensburgh three opportunities to impress with their *Pepperoni Passion with jalapeños* pizza, hoping that initial disappointments were merely isolated incidents. Unfortunately, each visit confirmed the same shortcomings, leaving me still searching for a reliable replacement since my former go-to pizzeria changed ownership. The primary issue lies in the pizza’s execution. Advertised as featuring *extra cheese and pepperoni*, the reality is far from the promise. The cheese is sparse, often hardened rather than properly melted, and lacks the rich, stretchy quality expected from a well-made pizza. The sauce is equally minimal, resulting in a dry, underwhelming base. Even the weight of the pizza suggests a lack of sufficient toppings—holding it feels like holding a shell rather than a properly loaded pie. While the staff are polite and service is efficient, the product itself does not meet basic expectations for a satisfying pizza experience. A good pizza should be generous with its toppings, balanced in flavour, and visually appealing—none of which were consistently delivered in my orders. Given that this appears to be a recurring issue rather than a one-off mistake, I cannot recommend their pizza in its current state. For those seeking a hearty, flavourful takeaway pizza, it may be worth exploring other options in the area. A shame, as I had hoped this would become my new regular spot.

Visited this place for a late lunch and wished I hadn't. What a let down and embarassment to tourism in the Loch Lomond area. Problem starts at the entrance, no one to greet or offer seating, two young lads at the bar who made no effort at welcoming. Ordered diluting orange - none avaialable, no mashed potatoes for the haggis, oh, you can have frozen chips instead. Nearly £18 for fish and chips - again, frozen variety. Young server spilled the hot chocolate my grandson ordered and just shrugged his shoulders instead of sorting it out. Tables sticky and steps leading up to the gents toilet, crying out for a clean and fresh paint. For an establishment such as this in a prime location, should be a quality place to visit. Surely, the owner or manager can see what's required. Will be a long time before I visit again - if ever.

This was a nice place to come for a meal in the past now under new management and now not a lot of choice on menu to have to eat in
