As we were staying at Turnberry for a friend's wedding, we decided to add on an extra night and…read morecelebrate our wedding anniversary. There are two restaurants to choose from - the James Miller Room and 1906. We went for the James Miller Room as their 4 course menu looked really interesting and unusual. When we arrived, I was a little surprised at the size of the room. It's described on the website as intimate and I'd definitely agree as it only seats 10 people. It's just next to the main dining area of 1906 so you can still peer into the restaurant (if you really want to). Even though the room was small, it wasn't cramped and you couldn't hear the other tables conversations (unless they were talking loudly and you were eavesdropping!) Service here was the same exceptionally high standard as the rest of Turnberry; friendly, pleasant and chatty without being stuffy or pretentious. When we looked over the menu it had changed from the one online a little and I actually squealed when I saw a starter 'banh mi' - one of my favourite foods! This was obviously a fine dining version consisting of head cheese, foie gras and pickled vegetables. Graeme went for the St Brides Chicken Curry. I really loved my banh mi, and to be honest I would have been over the moon if it was the main, not the starter as it was the kind of dish I didn't want to end. I had a taste of the chicken curry one I'd finished it as I could smell the spices and I knew it'd be very strong tasting! It was, but not in the firey way I expected. For main I had West Coast lobster with carrot, fennel and granola and Graeme had the rabbit with boudin blanc and pomme fondant. Again, these dishes really impressed both in appearance and taste. I really loved the strong, meaty flavour of the sauce with the rabbit and we got extra bread rolls to mop up the left over juice. Then we moved onto the cheese course - Scottish artisan cheeses. Presented in a tower with truffle and jelly and some crispy bread, this was really delicious and a real winner. We were then invited into the kitchen to meet the head chef, Justin Galea. I was pretty excited about this as I love going "backstage" of restaurants and Justin is from Melbourne, my hometown. We ended up talking for ages and it was great to hear about the focus on local foods, some foraging and keeping a calm, positive vibe in the kitchen. We also got to see the chef's table which I really want to do - they design a menu for you on the day and you get to see the action. I had the Posset for dessert - raspberry, nuts and lemon while Graeme went for Ten Layers of Valrohna with pistachio icecream. His was rich and decadent, too strong for me but right up his alley. The posset had a really refreshing tang which finished off the meal nicely. All up, this was a lovely experience and a real treat for a special occasion. The four course menu was £65 per person, and we also shared a half bottle of wine for around £30.

Saturdays are really busy so was glad I decided last minute to book a table. The menu is filled with sandwiches, bagels, paninis etc and all come with soup for £5.95 which is a bargain when you see the portions. However the most popular order seemed to be the high tea for two, which at £5 per person is amazing! The atmosphere is lovely, with a mix of couple, familes and quite a few grannies being treated to tea and cakes by their grandkids. The decor is nothing fancy, but the setting and welcoming staff easily makes up for it There is fabulous selection of Suki teas and homemade baking. Soups of the day this week were tomato with basil and potato and leek. Last wee I tried the curried butternut squash which was amazing! The setting is lovely and the food is well worth the 15min drive from Dennistoun. There is a garden centre and lovely views onto the loch so you could easily spend a few hours over a coffee, chatting and escaping city life. I can't speak highly enough of this place and look forward to making myself a regular! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tea-House-On-The-Loch/141357772588944?fref=ts

Great place, great food!…read more My family and I (American) passed through Arran on our Winter Holiday around New Year (2019/2020) after a recommendation from the B&B we were staying at. We weren't dissappointed! Lovely place for a chat and just hanging out by the water. I had the fish and chips, rest of my family had I believe a burger, risotto, and a chicken pasta dish, all well received! Also ordered a variety of drinks and dessert, all good. Service was lovely, though probably slower than some might like. We were in no rush and enjoyed it, but at least for our one stop it wouldn't be a place to go if you're in a real rush. Overall highly recommend if you're ever in Ayr!

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.

Haha I ordered the Taste of Arran platter which came with smoked salmon, smoked duck, smoked venison, smoked gammon, Arran cheese, oats and pickles. I really wasn't expecting the giant plate of awesomeness! Safe to say I had tons of energy to continue our cycle back to Brodick haha Gian ordered the fish and chips, which was relatively good, being a typical meal. He just wanted as much energy as he can possibly consume tbh haha the chips were super nice! We also ordered coffee. Gian took a gamble and order a soy cappuccino which was a bit burnt but still drinkable. I had a cinnamon cappuccino and yes, it was packed full of cinnamon! Not bad tho. The coffee is as good as it gets on a secluded island! Don't expect expert roasters level of coffee! I don't quite remember the cost, but I didn't think it was too expensive for all the food and coffee we had. Definitely under £12 per person! Not bad at all.

The scallops were so delicious, if you order the starter you'll wish you had ordered it as a main. The brie and onion tartlet was fresh and full of flavor and the fish was a huge, tasty portion with the perfect batter (crispy, not too thick) with big, thick cut chips on the side. Great spot for fresh, delicious food, friendly faces, and great views on Arran!
