My wife declared this her favorite meal of our two week trip. The seafood was fresh and amazingly delicous. Much of it comes directly from Loch Fyne, right on the doorstep. The staff were extremely joyful and friendly. There were 8 of us for lunch and we did make reservations. I highly recommend a visit. Quick tip... try the oysters!

Great oyster and great smoked salmon, very nice service. The view is also great if you eat at just outside of the store. I have tried oyster and smoked salmon multiple times during my Scotland trip. This is the number one place (best tasted) for both.

Absolutely amazing food and nice atmosphere. Need to book in advance because it is popular. We loved everything we ate and would definitely come back

Super fresh seafood. Picked up a lobster and crab, surprise, the second crab was hiding! Service impeccable, had a laugh with our waiter who provided everything we needed. Our thanks to Renata, who was the perfect host. Definitely worth the trip. The wine complimented the seafood platter

We went here for our anniversary. I had lobster felt it was a little small, but all the other food was great. Oysters were delicious. I went there many years ago and had a fantastic time, but things change. The prices are very expensive.

Welcoming experience with views to enjoy as you tuck into delicious food. For starters, we enjoyed a mix of cooked Oysters (Anchovy and parmesan was awesome), and two fresh Oysters. Our parents had the chowder. For the main meals we had Loch Fyne sharing platter, and Loch Fyne Mussels. Recommend calling them to do a booking, don't rely on the website. They have an outdoor under shelter area where you can sit and enjoy food n drink with your dog. They have a seating around a bar that looks very comfortable for those wanting a smaller bite and a drink. There is a great little gift shop that also sells fresh fish and catch of the day.

Visited last week and really enjoyed the experience. We ordered the fish & chips and some oysters. Decided to go for takeaway and sat outside on the picnic benches, which offered a gorgeous view which perfect for anyone who enjoys dining outdoor. The oysters were incredibly fresh, absolutely lovely, especially if you're a seafood lover. I'd definitely recommend sitting outside if the weather’s nice, as the view really adds to the experience. A great spot for a relaxed meal with quality food and a scenic backdrop!
