Restaurant

Savour the freshest seasonal locally-sourced food while you admire panoramic views across the grounds towards the Firth of Clyde.

The impressive restaurant occupies the first floor of the award winning Visitor Centre. Frameless glass walls display the glorious views to their full potential, while al fresco dining on the balcony further enhances the vantage point during the summer months. Shortly after opening in 2001 early feedback described the restaurant as the 'best looking' in Scotland and it is very easy to see why.

Sourcing good, fresh and local produce for our menu is the key priority, providing a unique 'Taste of Bute' experience to our visitors. Suppliers from the Island of Bute and the wider region of Argyll include Taste of Bute, McAlisters Milk, Drumachloy Rose Veal, Windyhall Farm Beef and Loch Fyne Oysters. Vegetables, salads, herbs and fruit from the Mount Stuart Kitchen Garden are used wherever possible as well as our eggs being produced on the estate, by our 150 hens.

There is no need to buy a visitor pass. This licensed restaurant is a cool and tranquil place to enjoy a light snack or delicious meal.

Pre booking is recommended for large parties and bespoke set menus are available on request – please email contactus@mountstuart.com or call 01700 503877.
