Daily Record Restaurant Review

"The four chefs in the open-plan kitchen also played a blinder and it was very reassuring watching these guys tasting, seasoning and double-checking every single dish before it was delivered to the customer."

This 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 provides a particular vantage point during the summer months.

We offer, simple uncomplicated food prepared by our talented Chefs. Sourcing good, fresh and local produce for our menu is the key priority, providing a unique 'eatBute' experience for our visitors. Suppliers from the Isle of Bute and the wider regions of Argyll and Ayrshire include Ritchie’s of Rothesay, McAlister's Milk, Drumachloy Rose Veal, Bute Estate Foods’ Aberdeen Angus beef and Loch Fyne Oysters. The Mount Stuart Kitchen Garden provides vegetables, salads, herbs and fruit, alongside the eggs used in our dishes and baking, produced by our 150 happy chickens. And in the summer months, our busy bees produce delightful honey which sweetens our menu.
