    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.

    This was such a great place to stop by for lunch after over an hours of cycling! With such a great…read moreview of the lagoon and bright warm weather, it made our experience pretty much perfect! Gian and I stopped by here on out way to Brodick. We saw tons of cyclists using the outdoor courtyard area as a resting spot, so we thought we'd join the party and chill out here too! The staff members are delightful people! Super polite, friendly and overall sweet! This place isn't exactly the cheapest but if you're on holiday, just shrug it off and spend da moneyz Y NOT. 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. Def drop by if you're in Arran, especially on a sunny day! Such a great environment

The Bistro is very nice-clean and simple, rustic with modern touches mixed in. They have an outdoor seating area with great views you can enjoy when the weather cooperates. The service and food are fantastic as well. I tried the Pan Seared Scallops with chorizo and french bean salad, Arran Brie & Red Onion Filo tartlet with baked figs and balsamic glaze, and the Fish & Chips. 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!
