Cù Mara Bistro & Takeaway

Great spot. I’ve been meaning to stop in Arrochar for years and I’m glad I did. This is a tight run ship! The manager leads from the front - welcoming customers, taking orders, cleaning tables. Her team clearly respects her and they function as a well-knit unit. I was well looked after while I waited for a table to become available. Great food, great views, great people.

Was here for dinner on Saturday night..... Wow. What a good find. Wasnt really in the mood for a run of the mill pub dinner. This place was above and beyond my expectations ❤ infact it's Monday and I'm still thinking about it.

Starters we had the -

Halloumi fries
Hummus and flatbreads
Tequila mussels

Wow. Each one was better than the last. The mussels were the start of starters 😍😍

The mains we had the buffalo loaded fries and the chicken tender meal 🥰🥰🥰

Both absolutely delicious and couldnt finish all of it.

The young boy who served us was fantastic and very welcoming.

Definitely 10/10!

Nice restaurant, good food, a lot of gluten free and vegan options, the service knew what can be gluten contaminated so it is a safe option for celiac or other GF people. There was also gluten free desert available. Could be warmer inside. I had a beef burger and it was fine, fries were a bit too oily. Uploading desert pics

We only stopped off here on the way home . Absolutely blown away . Quality of the food , service was spot on . Didn’t expect this level of quality. Definitely be back and would highly recommend a visit. Worth the Journey

First time dining here and just WOW we are absolutely blown away the food is absolutely gorgeous, service fantastic.
We already looking forward to our next night out!

Very relaxed atmosphere, our 4 month old was very happy just watching the world go by.

This place is a crucial place to visit if you're passing Arrochar. Whether to pick up a pizza or some fried chicken to take away or to sit in for their delicious cakes or seafood, you have to stop here. I don't make the rules.

Amazing food and friendly staff. Felt so welcome and the owner came out to offer my friend a bottle of prosecco for her 60th birthday. So very kind. Amazing views of the loch and olives and houmus were gorgeous.Had dinner the night before too and excellent

choices and quality.

If there's a better burger within 50 miles I'd like to eat it! Lovely place, clearly a lot of effort gone into the details of the design. Excellent burgers and pizza - very generous and good value. Will definitely be back next year.

A really amazing bistro in Scotland - after we couldn‘t get a table on the first day, we had the chance to try it one day later after reserving a table.
The meals not just tasted amazing, they really put so much creativity and passion into their menu, achieving terrific combinations of different aromas and ingredients.
We‘d not just highly recommend this place, but to also reserve a table well in advance.

Did I just have the best vegan pizza ever? Yes, yes I did! I highly recommend the vegan pepperoni pizza; the dough, sauce, vegan feta, and jackfruit pepperoni were an amazing combo. My husband is the very opposite of a vegan, which can be hard to find a restaurant where we both feel satiated. He had the Hot Scottie burger and really enjoyed it! We arrived early on a Sunday evening without a booking and were seated promptly. You should consider a reservation during high season and weekends to ensure you get a chance to experience this restaurant!

This was the saving grace to our stay at loch long. The food here was AMAZING! Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We enjoyed a caprese pizza, Cullen skink gnocchi with black pudding and beef burger with fries. We also enjoyed espresso martinis and hot chocolate. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The restaurant is also dog friendly, we would come back to loch long just to eat here again.

Dined a few times in the newly opened bistro and had various takeaways ….food is always bang on and the service received is always on point! The cocktails are also second to none! 🍸
The view out the windows simply top off the ambience of this amazing hidden little gem. It’s a must stop en route up the west coast. I could upload pics for days….

We had a large table for dinner on the final night of our stay yesterday.
The owner was fantastic and couldn't be more helpful. Staff were really good too.
The food was lovely. Tequila mussels were my partner's favourite.
My son has some sensory issues around food and just wanted chips... he had the biggest bowl of chips ever. They were so tasty!
Kids shared a pizza as there were no children's options. However, there was more than enough for each of them.
Really like this little gem of a place.

Went here after a disappointing visit at a cafe in Lochgoilhead, the food was amazing and fresh, the pizza crunch strips were amazing ! The young boy who served us was lovely and polite, the portion sizes were huge we couldn’t finish it all so they gave us some take home boxes. We will definitely be back when we are visiting the area again.

Firstly I would like to say a huge THANKS AGAIN for an amazing night last Thursday (2nd of February) I had booked a table for four for my sister-in-laws 30th Birthday and when we arrived I couldn’t believe that the booth was decorated with banners and balloons, this isn’t something I requested this was done by the staff and it was greatly appreciated, as far as first impression go, we where all pretty impressed! We had a good look over the menu and after finally deciding what to get (the whole menu looks incredible) our food came and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! The food was 10/10 on all four of the mains and the desserts! The birthday girl enjoyed some cocktails, we had an amazing night in an equally amazing setting. The restaurant is beautiful and you have done a fantastic job with it! We can’t wait to come back. Thanks again from the four Greenockians ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Had the hot Scottish burger - excellent!

Fore warning - best to book a table early if you want to eat in. I personally tried 3 times to get a table. Well worth it though.
The outside not much too look at, but inside it cozy Modern twist on a traditional restaurant. The view out the window, and on arrival, is stunning.
Food was just as good. Small well done menu that is Italian with a Scottish twist. I has Cullen Skink Gnocchi (with crumbled black pudding and Quail egg on to). Sooo filling, though once you see the desert you'll make room for more. This is a definite must if you are staying in the area for a few days or so.
For parking(in the evening atleast) the village/tourist information centre next door offers its parking facilities for a small donation £1/£2. There is a small lock box on the build mark 'P'. Best money spent.

We were in today for lunch and it was lovely. Staff were friendly and efficient, even when under pressure at the busiest time of day. Food was delicious (soup with warm bread followed by awesome Pastrami bagel and lovely coffees). Toilets were spotlessly clean.

Absolutely excellent place! We came here as a big group of 10 on 4th May and the staff were really nice and accommodating! The food was excellent and good prices. I'd definitely recommend here!

So so so glad we chose to get food here. We'd wondered along the water a fair way, passing by all the other pubs and restaurants. Lots of places were closed on the day we were visiting. Then we happened upon Cù Mara, and after glancing at the menu we knew we'd chanced across something special.

The loaded fries are well and truly loaded, and we bought ourselves a pizza to share too. It was too much food! But so tasty. Generous portions, and some interesting menu options for a tiny takeaway.

It's a popular place, and there are always folks rolling up by car or motorbike. I can see it being one of those places where you could easily end up chatting away with someone you've only just met over good food.
