The Boathouse Cafe - Argyll Bute

Lobster to die for. Great menu, great staff and the best seafood straight from the sea. On the beach. What could be better

We enjoyed the local ale on tap and tasty cocktails at this restaurant. We began with gigha oysters and queenie's, both of which were a must-try. The venison for our main course was superbly delicious. We ended our meal with a homemade sticky toffee pudding that was absolutely delicious. Thank you for a great dining experience.

Loved our lunch here with two small ones. Excellent seafood, fresh local ingredients and great staff

An excellent seafood experience, not on the cheap side £55 per person) but worth the expense. Lunch booked for 14.30 by phone on a Monday and the person who received the booking was polite an accommodating. When we arrived the tables outside were almost all full but the space inside was relatively free, warm and inviting. The Boathouse offers beers and ales from FyneAles and we had one Fyne Lager Scottish helles slightly stronger and hoppier than ordinary bocks) and a Highlander an amber ale with a nutty, caramel-malt body and a slightly bitter finish). For starters we shared a Cullen Skink which was delicious one of the best we tasted in Scotland), 3 grilled langoustines and pan fried broccoli florets with cashews, pomegranates and a sweet pomegranate sauce. As mains we had two of their famous Pan Roasted Gigha Halibut dishes served with tenderstem brocolli, ginger veloute, wild mushroom and baby potatoes and one 'classic ' fish and chips dish with battered haddock, tripled cooked handcut chips, chunky tartar , and mashed peas. Every dish was excellent and the service very professional. A gastronomic experience not to be missed!

World class setting with food to match. Our second visit, which was just as special as the first. It's that simple.
