“probably the best BLT sandwich we’d ever had”

Stopped in en route to Crinan with our - two daughters aged 2 and 8. Warm and friendly welcome... My wife and I had the BLT and we both agreed that it was probably the best BLT sandwich we’d ever had. The girls had macaroni and fish fingers, with nothing leftover. Generous portions, quality food, excellent service all set in a warm and welcoming environment.

Never written a review before but felt compelled to having visited here. Well worth visiting.

“I went for the haggis burger and it was fantastic”

We've been a few times when in the area and yet again it didn't disappoint. I found the staff to be very attentive and friendly. Then there's the food Mmmm absolutely delicious. I went for the haggis burger and it was fantastic. I would recommend The Village Rest.

“Great cajun chips”

Nice wee stop from Fife. Came up for a drive and stopped for a wee bite to eat. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Great cajun chips. We will be back at some point in the future.

“we were so glad we did”

We were staying at ------- in Luss but the menu wasn’t our cup of tea, so we decided to walk 300 yards down the road... to “The Village Rest” and we were so glad we did. We had chorizo bruschetta for starters couldn’t fault it, it was perfect, I had a Lamb Giggot (cutlet from a leg of Lamb) with creamed mash roasted vegetables and minted gravy, (very tasty). My partner had sirloin steak medium that also was perfect. lots of deserts to choose from too.

“my wife's cake never stood a chance”

Stopped off here after a long drive, more to stretch our legs than anything else but we're pleasantly surprised by this small bistro. Obviously family run, it is bright, clean and friendly, the coffee was hot and strong and my wife's cake never stood a chance, next time we're this way again this will definite be a stop.

“we just had to go back!”

We visited twice in a week as our first meal was so impressive, we just had to go back! Highly recommend the Macaroni Cheese with bacon and the Steak and Ale pie, Good homecooked food and very reasonably priced. We had a little booth table and the staff were lovely and friendly.
