Best British food near Tighnabruaich, Scotland, United Kingdom
Reviews on British food in Tighnabruaich, Scotland, United Kingdom. Tighnabruaich; (/ˌtaɪnəˈbruːəx/ ( listen); Scottish Gaelic: Taigh na Bruaich) is a village on the Cowal peninsula, on the western arm of the Kyles of Bute in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. In 2011 the population was 660. It is west of Glasgow and north of the Isle of Arran. The road to Ormidale was built in the late 1960s, and until then the village was more reliant on the sea for the transport of passengers and freight.

Had Cullen Skink to start with and was disappointed as although it was tasty, it was very thin and watery with no chunks of fish and a couple of bits of potatoes and overly made up of green strips of leek. This lost a point on the score, but the main course was absolutely superb and a dish to be remembered. Full of flavour with freshest ingredients and the seabed linguine dish and the seafood platter were both delicious. Wine was also excellent, although our first choice was unavailable, the alternative offered was prefect.

B&B lady recommended this place and we got the last table on a Saturday night. Lucky us. If you like seafood then youâll be in heaven. The food was delicious and when we asked for a half portion it was duly agreed. The wine was excellent - not often you find a negroamaro by the glass - a favourite grape of mine. The place was bustling. The service was efficient and friendly. Could not find fault.

Excellent food served by friendly enthusiastic staff. It's recently come under new ownership and the new owners are making their mark. The food was reasonably priced, perfectly prepared and attractively served. I'm looking forward to going again. One final thing, the coffee is the best I've tasted in the area, excellent.Thank you for the kind review! We hope to see you again soon.Our coffee is from Argyll Roasters who are an amazing local company just up the road roasting to order every week. Next time you are in please ask if you would like to buy a pack to take home. BestClare

Stayed overnight on a road trip and would have given 5* for the evening meal. Wide menu, comfortable surroundings, excellent service from just the 2 or 3 chatty staff who seemed to do everything out front, and lovely food. Our super room had a sea view and when they say a sea view here they mean a proper sea view!!!! All wonderful and we so looked forward to breakfast. But it was such a let down. A young lady occasionally took orders & eventually delivered food but that apart we were left to our own devices....to some hilarity others in the dining room explained whatever the procedures were, how to use the tea/coffee machines & capsules and how to get your own toast etc. A good way to meet fellow visitors but not the best way to part company.

We visited this quaint wee restaurant for the first time last week while staying at the excellent Portavadie marina I loved the feel of this lovely wee bistro/ restaurant . It has a very small but well chosen wine list and what I saw good bar selection .The front of house was excellent and went through all the specials .My wife went for the scallops and chorizo, nice dish required maybe a wee bit more chorizo but it was enjoyed . I had the the chicken taco - this wasnât great, cooked chicken not much seasoning and maybe nicer in a tortilla than a taco.My wife then went for the local fish special - excellent was the verdict . Well cooked and beautifully presented .For me it was the the rack of lamb and dauphinois potatoes - I loved it. Lamb seasoned perfectly , potatoes rich and creamy with crunchy greens and a lovely rich gravy .Too full for pudding .Nearly full but the chef was a ultra cool working on her own in the open kitchen and all dishes were expertly put out.Look forward to a return visit .We were told the pasta and pizza night is very good on Sundayâs and busy .

Reviewed By Peems
We found Botanica entirely by accident when looking for somewhere for lunch after crossing over from Tarbert, and were expecting a sandwich and cake place as we drove up. We were delighted to find something far more than that and enjoyed a great, quick lunch of fresh mussels, superb breads and hummous whilst sat outside the barn in the sunshine. Our little one enjoyed playing in the garden area which is set aside from the dining areas so the kids don't interrupt diners. A little more expensive than you would probably have been expecting to pay for a quick lunch when we first arrived, but so glad we stumbled in here and didn't find that sandwich.
