The Lorne is a fantastic restaurant—well worth a visit, and certainly one we would return to. El viernes 23 de octubre fuimos mi esposa y yo a comer a The Lorne en Dunoon, Escocia. Tengo que decir que fue una experiencia maravillosa. La comida muy buena y con gran presencia, me llamó la atención que el "Fish & Chips" venía colocado sobre un plato con un papel, que era una copia de un periódico "The Daily Catch", de fecha Tuesday 9th april 2019. La atención fue excelente y muy cercana por parte de Kelly y Craig. Nosotros no dominamos el idioma inglés y esto no constituyó un impedimento porque Craig se esmeró para que el dominio del idioma no fuera un problema para el disfrute de la comida. Agradecemos y felicitamos a Kelly y Craig por una tención excelente en nuestra visita. The Lorne es un restaurante muy apropiado para visitar y repetir visita. On Friday, October 23rd, my wife and I went to dine at The Lorne in Dunoon, Scotland. I must say, it was a wonderful experience. The food was excellent and beautifully presented; I was particularly struck by the fact that the "fish and chips" were served on a plate lined with paper designed to look like a newspaper—"The Daily Catch," dated Tuesday, April 9th, 2019. The service, provided by Kelly and Craig, was excellent and very warm. Although we are not fluent in English, this posed no obstacle at all, as Craig went out of his way to ensure that the language barrier did not interfere with our enjoyment of the meal. We would like to thank and commend Kelly and Craig for the excellent service we received during our visit. The Lorne is a fantastic restaurant—well worth a visit, and certainly one we would return to.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

The best place to eat when in Dunoon. We had the monkfish stuffed with black pudding and wrapped with mash in bacon and the battered haddock and chips. Fantastic atmosphere really we were made to feel welcome from the moment you walk in . The staff are fantastic and cannot do enough to make your time there a great experience. Staff were very attentive but at the same time gave you plenty of space and all of this with a smile. The staff along with the how fantastic the food is here makes the Lorne a must visit if you are in Dunoon.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Sunday roast is hard to beat. Always our go to on the first Sunday of our holiday for a Sunday roast. Food and service are always consistently good. Lovely pint of Guinness. The standard of food is exceptionally high, and the portions are plentiful.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

A Saturday visit This was recommended to us so booked a table for a Saturday teatime. When we arrived there was only one other table occupied. We had to go to the bar for drinks after sitting for sometime. The food was good, we were a group of 4 and all chose something different and all was reported to be tasty, however the staff could have been more attentive and friendlier.Posted on Tripadvisor![]()

Lively place, lovely staff, 50/50 with food. Called in with our dogs but the only one dog friendly table in the corner of the bar was occupied so we booked, had a walk round & came back. Prawn cocktail starters were full of water so take it these were frozen prawns but the home made haggis & black pudding bon bons were delicious. 2 of us had the pie & mash which was absolutely beautiful, the meat was so tender and tasty. 2 of us had the gammon but that was barely cooked. Lovely clean place and bubbly staff. Probably a good idea to book ahead as it was really busy.
