We stopped by here during our Europe trip and this place has some amazing food. Delicious and delicious tasty! Ambiance is nice for the family, and service was top notch. We had fish sticks, and chilli con carne were delicious! Don't forget to try their chocolate cheesecake with vanilla ice cream! read more

Best fish and chips of our 2 weeks in Scotland. Beer excellent and the barmaid had the very best brogue. Sitting out gazing at the mtns and Loch Long was heavenly. I want to move to Arrochar. read more

We selected this based on previous reviews. I would not agree with them. If I were to come again, I would order a scone and coffee for take-away. The sit down breakfast was not good. read more

A quick and easy stop in beautiful Luss. The food was on point and if you're American you'll be thrilled to know they have fountain sodas! A true Scottish miracle. read more

Good food selection. I had the chilli beef burger and it was yummy. Very cute shop and the service was average, but that may just be the way it is here in this country. The inside was decorated nicely and fun. Great for larger groups. Worth a visit. read more

Couldn't have been better. Stopped in for a quick lunch of macron & cheese for me & curried parsnip soup for my wife. Service was friendly & efficient. The food was delightful & well priced......and the restrooms were spotless. read more

It's a good place for having a break. It's a dog friendly restaurant. the beef burger and codfish wrap tasted so good. Unfortunately, forgot to take photos. read more

I was here on Vacation visiting Scotland and stumbled on this place on the way to Oban. Had a haggis egg sandwich which is by far the best haggis sandwich I had in Scotland. Maybe because it was super fresh and still steaming when I bit into it. Coffee is killer also and definitely a must get. read more

Quick review. Flew in to Scotland from Ireland on the second part of our Vacation. We are from the US. Rented a car and had a three hour drive ahead of us so we decided to stop. This is Nestled off the highway on the banks of Loch Lomond. Order the Chili and Beef Pie. Absolutely amazing. Love it. Customer service is great as well despite being super busy. A++++++ We are coming back on our way back. :) Thank you for a great experience. read more

Lovely little cafe in Luss Village with quite a varied menu and is also licensed. We were passing tonight and decided to sit outside and have a wee drink before heading home and it was just lovely. You can go in and order at the bar and then bring your drinks outside or you can also order food as all the tables outside are numbered. There is a small area at the back of the cafe that sells gifts and cards. Definetly a must visit when in the area. read more

A real nice wee independent coffee shop in the village of Luss. Nicely decorated with plenty of seating area inside & out. Friendly & chatty staff. Decent tasting coffee & pretty reasonable prices. Freshly baked scones on display with cakes & ice cream. Definitely a recommendation to visit this place if you ever pass through Luss. read more

We stopped on a wet Sunday afternoon on our way back to Glasgow airport from Loch Awe. The place was busy, the staff were attentive. The late lunch of homemade cullen skink and a wonderful British afternoon tea of scone, cream and jam hit the spot. Lots of cream with the jam and a light fluffy scone....DEEP JOY! The place is a gem in a wonderful little village on the banks of Loch Lomand.....stop and also check out the new hotel down the road that is opening soon...it looked a great design. My only suggestion is that they need a 'meeter greeter' as the wait to be seated sign is a little impersonal and every client seemed to hover at the door until they were spotted by the staff. read more

I arrived jut after the opening. Had the restaurant for myself. Took a latte and a slice if cake. Creme brûlée cheesecake here is heaven!!!! So not hesitate to take it! Lovely breakfast. read more

The wife and me had dinner here on the second night of our stay in Luss and the second night of avoiding our own hotel's ridiculously overpriced menu. The Village Rest looks great on the outside; small, charming and (to use a Gordon Ramsay soundbite) rustic! As expected the menu offering was simple fare, which was fine by us. I had fish and chips while Julie had mac n cheese. At £9.45 for mac n cheese, I thought it was a wee bit expensive. The fish and chips was okay and nothing more; I don't think the fish was all that fresh and given that the place is literally three minutes walk from the Loch lomond shoreline is pretty unforgivable. That being said, service was good and the location made eating a pleasurable experience. read more

Quickly becoming a family tradition at Xmas, we took the short journey from Glasgow to Luss between chrimbo and Hogmannay. This wee bistro is tucked away down one of the village side streets and is a bit of a tourist mecca. There's a really great value kids menu as well as standard fare pub type menu for perusal. This time I opted for the Broccoli and Cheddar soup with ploughman type sarnie (ham, cheddar, picle, salad, etc) on a rye bloomer. Sarnie was goo with the bread a lovely solid malty accompaniment. Maybe too much for lunch as a bit heavy when combined with the soup. Past visits I stuck to the house ham and lentil - knock out. This time the soup was cold - still tasty but a bit of a let down on a Scottish winter night. Around £40 quid with tip added on so make sure your appetite is whetted. To be fair that included our drinks but the kids menu is tasty (pinch their chicken goujons - better than the Colonels :)) and very cheap. All in all - decent return if hungry and usually very good quality at a city bistro price (but hey - it is a tourist trap so expect those prices). read more

Stopped here for an early dinner while traveling back to our B&B. It was fairly empty at the time as it was not the usual dining time and it did fill up as we were leaving. The service was friendly and attentive. Our orders were taken pretty quickly and our food didn't take too long to arrive. We ordered the chicken, bacon, much room penne and battered haddock. Both were very delicious with sizable portions, which we unfortunately could not finish. Overall it was a great dining experience with great food. Highly recommend for anyone in Luss with a big appetite. read more

This cafe was the bomb! Very charming cafe in a very charming village. The wait staff was very attentive, the food was excellent, and the owners Ian and Kevin were very nice and engaging. We went in for breakfast, and I had the Full Scottish Breakfast. Yummy! Luckily, I was hungry, because it was a lot of food. The black pudding, ham, potatoes, all very good! It's located on the main street leading into the village. Great to stop in before and after a day in the "Loveliest Village in Scotland". Can not recommend this place enough. read more

Yum. Good service, decaf, lush cakes, tatie scones, beans on toast, baby change with chaderlier to enchant baby, wifi, dog friendly

Such a cute and delicious little find!!! Well worth 5 stars! The two ladies working were quick to serve us, were extremely polite, and overall were outstanding. We had the Full English Breakfast, a fruit scone, and Americanos. We've lived in the UK for 2 years and this was the first restaurant that served an incredible breakfast and coffee! Definitely recommend this! read more

Visiting Scotland for the first time, we ventured north to Luss on a day trip from Glasgow and tried The Village Rest for a late breakfast. The restaurant opened at 10am and we were told that the scones were not going to be ready until after 11. Seems like they could prepare the scones in advance for the breakfast shift, no? We placed our orders and had a couple changes to make not one minute later and were told "great, the chef is going to love this." When our egg and bacon "rolls" arrived (a delicious sunny side up egg on a plain McDonalds style sesame bun), the waitress had forgotten one and had to place a new order for us. On top of this, she was irritatingly insistent on the "ladies first" policy and would not even let a man speak (was trying to inquire for a drinks menu for the table) until all the ladies have been spoken to. Poor service, poor food selection, weird vibes... I suppose the eggs were fine. Try the Coach House Coffee Shop instead. read more

A cute, unusual cafe in the heart of the conservation village. The food is very decent. It is a very bright, surprisingly large space, and pretty much the only place I've seen an actual advert selling a horse carriage. Random! read more

We had dinner here the first night we were in Luss and had to return for breakfast the next morning. We just couldn't get enough! The steak and ale pie was to die for and the breakfast plate the next morning was loaded! Highly recommend! read more
