Dining |
||
| The Burnside Cafe in the village of Tighnabruaich offers casual fare and fine dining. A recent (June 2008) enthusiastic comment from Redpuma on TripAdvisor, on someone who were not very impressed with their stay at An Lochan Hotel. "Our saving grace was on Saturday as 5 minutes walk is a Bistro called the Burnside which is run by Joyce and David. This little gem is akin to a small cafe which is transformed into a bistro evening times. Unfortunately again because it was early May it only opens Saturday evenings. From June it opens every time during the summer months. This truly was the best meal of our stay and Joyce's cooking is fresh, tasty, satisfying and extremely inexpensive." |
||
| Susie's Cafe near the pier in the village of Tighnabruaich offers teas, coffee and casual fare, and caters to buses. | ||
