My husband got the eggs Benedict and he was pleased it had black pudding in the middle, very Scottish food of course. He did not care for the hollandaise sauce as it had a sweetness to it. I wasn't super hungry as I was saving room for our lunch at 1pm. I got two poached eggs and toast. The poached eggs were a bit runny for my liking. Overall though this is a great cafe and I like the layout. The service was very friendly. They were setting up a bunch of reserved tables for what looked like a fancy lunch. Lot of people were working there at the time and I assume prepping for a big party.

The staff greeted us warmly and invited us in to their warm and cozy establishment. This is small town Scotland at its best. I was surprised at the worldliness of the Salt and Pepper Asian-style fries on the Daily Specials board. They were amazing as was my "Hybrid Toastie" - essentially a Scottish patty melt. Not that it was mundane in any sense. It was delicious! I washed these down with a Diet Irn Bru - the guilt-free version of Scotland's most popular soda. Once again - another great meal with friendly service. Nowhere close to Edinburgh, yet still with that flair of sophistication mixed with small-town civility.

But the service and food more than made up for it. We had a cheery and efficient server bring our drinks right over as we perused the menu. I ended up ordering the Fish Pie, and this was honestly one of the best dishes I ate in Scotland & Ireland on my 16-day vacation. It was described as white fish, smoked fish, and salmon, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese. Like a Shephard's Pie, but with fish. The flavor was incredible, and I loved that there were actually fish pieces in it instead of it being served all mushed up. Served with a side of veggies. I had to split it with my companion, because while her Salmon Fish Cakes were good, they were no Fish Pie. We were too stuffed for dessert, although they had a lot of baked goods available that looked very tempting. If you are in the area, I highly recommend a visit.

We were hungry and just from the name and branding, we decided to take a shot on the idea that anything suggesting a barn full of livestock would likely provide a filling meal. We were not disappointed. We were asked if we had a reservation, which we didn't, but we were still able to get a table near the bar area around 5:30pm without a wait. Service was very attentive and friendly, even as the room began to fill up. I went for the Steak & Ale Pie and the husband went for a T-bone style Steak. Both were cooked perfectly and just flavorful enough while leaving a little room to add more salt or pepper for our own tastes. As an American, I of course had to have ketchup with my chips, and laughed at the big red tomato bottle they brought to the table as I shamelessly doused my fried potatoes in ketchup. We didn't find a less expensive or more satisfying meal along our travels after that- but we were so full after our meal at Stables- we couldn't have even tried one if we'd found it.

Great dinner - amazing location…read more We were staying in one of the self-catering apartments of this Hotel. Location is great - just sitting at the lovely and quiet Loch Awe. The first night we were a bit tired from the drive and didn't feel like cooking, so we visited the restaurant. It's nice and bright with great views of the Loch. Service was very friendly. We had the Goat's Cheese Salad (Grilled Goat's cheese served with roasted peppers, salad leaves, soda bread and raspberry balsamic dressing) and the Haggis Bon Bons (Crispy Haggis balls set on roasted tomato and chili chutney served with salad garnish) for a starter. Both equally good, but especially the Bon Bons were a pleasant surprise, good tasting Haggis! For the mains we had the Salmon with veggies and potatoes (daily special) and the Traditional Fish & Chips (haddock served in a beer batter served with chunky chips, peas and Tartar sauce). Both fish tasted very fresh and tender. Hot and crispy chips. With that we had a bottle of White wine, a Sauvignon Blanc Panul from the Lontué Valley, Chile. Fresh, fruity and crisp. Just 18£. We really had a great dinner. Good, fresh food for very fair prices, especially given the fantastic location. If you just come for dinner without staying here, the way back on the one-way street might be a bit dark. Luckily our way home was just a few steps :)

Maybe they are, but I happen to find shovelling food into my hideous gob a pretty satisfying experience. Swathed in the 1990s decor that became a recurring theme of our Loch Lomond trip, the pub hasn't seen a lick of paint for at least 15 years. The dated look won't do it for some, but you don't really come here for the ambience. 2 carveries and two soft drinks came to almost exactly a tenner. That's not much more than a McDonalds, and for that you get a plate piled high with Sunday Roast meats (carved in front of you obviously), and as many vegetables and potatoes as you can pile onto the plate. I won't pretend for a second it's of high quality, or even good quality, but in terms of fullness, price, and to some extent tastiness, you won't get a more satisfying feed for £3.59 anywhere. Avoid the stuffing, it tastes and looks like dried up dogshite.
