Arduaine Restaurant

If you are looking for a Restaurant which serves great food, including amazing local seafood, and offers exciting wines, specially selected by passionate wine lovers, you will love the Arduaine Restaurant at Loch Melfort Hotel. Choose from freshly caught langoustines, lobster and crab, Islay Scallops, select cuts of meat from Barbreck farm in Ardfern and game in season, all sourced from Argyll suppliers and cooked by talented head chef Colin MacDonald and his team. Add to this seasonal vegetables and aromatic herbs in season and you have true gourmet excellence. No wonder the Arduaine Restaurant's reputation for fine food and friendly, dedicated service is fast growing, making it a favourite with house guests and locals alike - including diners from Glasgow and Edinburgh who appreciate being able to escape the city and find themselves dining in a Restaurant with the finest views on the West Coast...

Rosettes For Food Our food has been consistently awarded 2 Rosettes by the AA since 2000 and we are justifiably proud of this.

When it comes to food for the Arduaine Restaurant, we are ardent about sourcing the freshest and best quality local ingredients for our menus, and over the last months have sourced some wonderful produce, grown and prepared by kindred spirits who reside mainly in Scotland and close to Loch Melfort. Almost everything is home-made at Loch Melfort Hotel, from bread, to marmalade, ice-cream and even our very own Scottish tablet, the exquisite local confectionary delight!

EatScotland We know that guests always like to get a flavour for the food they can expect to be served before they visit. Every day a new dinner menu is devised by Colin, offering a 5 course gourmet dinner, including appetizer and soup course, with at least four choices for each course. Our impeccable, yet informal and friendly service will give you plenty of time to talk to your friends, enjoy the food or simply admire the breathtaking view.

Having read Archie Mackenzie's article in the March 2010 edition of your magazine and having unexpectedly discovered two days leave in February my partner and I called the Loch Melfort Hotel.  

What an amazing experience!

  Everything your correspondent wrote and much more was true.

Our reservation, welcome, living and dining experiences were all exactly as your article had predicted - absolutely outstanding.

Congratulations to Calum, Rachel and Colin for delivering the ultimate in Scottish hospitality.

We will be returning to Loch Melfort and also looking forward to other hideaways that you will reveal.
