April 20, 2020 Almeta Stockton

Find out what British restaurants to try in Isle of Arran. Packed to the gills with antique silver, porcelain and furniture, the red sandstone Brodick Castle is one of the highlights of the Isle of Arran. The castle overlooks Goatfell, a majestic hill that’s a popular day hike. The Machrie Moor stone circles make for a mystical field trip, as does a tour of The Arran Malt whisky distillery.

Wineport Bistro

Reviewed By 847jacindar

We chose this restaurant for lunch during our visit to the Isle of Arran based on TripAdvisor reviews. The menu choice was really imaginative and perfect for a casual lunch. We had garlic mushrooms and goats cheese on toast and Cullen Skink, both were absolutely delicious. Highly recommended!

eighteen69

eighteen69 is Auchrannie’s Scottish tapas restaurant serving a wide range of small plates in a relaxed, informal environment. The restaurant is located in the glasshouse and lounges of the Country House Hotel. Customers are encouraged to choose and share

Reviewed By Duquesadiner

This restaurant is part of the Auchrannie estate and located in what is the original hotel. There has been a lot of money spent on the surroundings, both in this place and the two other restaurants on site. Eighteen69 offers smaller plates at good prices, there is enough to satisfy you and the flavours are good. The place is warm and welcoming and well appointed. Be aware that now we are into the winter season, it closes a couple of days during the week, something to be mindful of if you were thinking of eating here and are disappointed when you turn up. Well worth a visit though.Dear Duquesadiner,Thank you so much for your great review and lovely compliments on eighteen69 Restaurant. We are very happy indeed that you enjoyed the warm and welcoming ambience as well as the super tasty, small plate Scottish inspired dishes.Thank you again for sharing your feedback and we hope to see you back again soon!Kind regards,Carol AGuest Services Manager

We were stopping overnight at Whiting Bay in our campervan, so called in here for lunch. We always support local services if we wild camp anywhere. The service was friendly and efficient, with a smile. There was a good choice on the menu (especially for a Sunday) and the prices were about right. There’s even wi-if if you need it. We would definitely call again the next time we are passing through and would recommend it to anyone, include campers and Motorhomers.

Great food, great views and great staff.The Turkish pides are worth the trip alone. Add to that, superb hand cut chips and the lightest lemon drizzle cake, and you won't be disappointed. Great selection of teas and delicious coffee. The large, outdoor play area ensures happy children which equals happy adults.Hi Dianne,Thank you for your compliments, we're delighted that you enjoyed Cafe Thyme and look forward to seeing you next time!

Little Rock

Reviewed By Duquesadiner

We were staying at the nearby Auchrannie and fancied an early morning walk so headed to Little Rock, which opens reasonably early for breakfast. We had a fully cooked Scottish and a bagel, both were excellent, in fact too much food in the case of the full breakfast, but that is a good complaint. The staff are friendly and it is a comfortable place to eat. They also are pet friendly which I think is a good thing these days, especially on Arran.

The Stags Pavilion Restaurant

Traditional home cooked Scottish/Italian food with locally sourced produce seafood a speciality this is a B.Y.O.B restaurant

Reviewed By Kelly D

We were warned in advance that it's hard to get a table at The Stags Pavilion, so book well in advance (weeks) so you're not disappointed. It's a fairly simple set-up, a smallish restaurant in an old pavilion, which has been done up to feel homely, comfortable and welcoming. With a very talented Italian chef in the kitchen and his wonderfully friendly and accommodating wife Valerie out front, this dynamic duo really know how to run a restaurant. We chose from the vegetarian/vegan menu, which is extensive, and were bowled over by the flavours, the portion size and the great value for money. Highly recommended!!

Rarely do places live up to the hype. Mara Fish Bar more than did this.We stopped in for lunch after reading the reviews on TripAdvisor and weren't disappointed.The Fish Tacos were simply awesome! Veggie options sounded tasty too & it's easy to see why tables were never empty.Fab view. Fab food. Fab place.A must visit for foodies.
