Went here for lunch yesterday. Please don't be put off by waiting if it is bussy as there is a very good reason for that. Their food is amazing and the atmosphere is wonderful can't recommend this place enough. �

Visited this evening and the meal was delicious, staff very friendly only gripe would be it is quite small and not much room between tables but this would not stop me returning

Top Quality Evening with the wife to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary. Menu had amazing choices. I started with the sea food chowder, then the chicken wrapped in bacon with haggis, baby potato's and veg and to finish with fresh cream profiteroles and ice cream with chocolate sauce and a mixed berry compote. Food was top notch, definitely the best place to eat out at in Lochgilphead, Prices very reasonable for the professionalism, presentation and taste of each dish. We have been crying out for an establishment like this for ages, now that we have one I think we should all support John to make it a resounding success.

Made a point to visit when we found out John was the chef. We weren't disappointed, the restaurant is very nice with a great atmosphere. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and the meal was John's usual excellent quality. Shame we are only up here for a couple of days, but are thinking of coming back later in the year. If we do The Smiddy will be high on the agenda for another visit.

Lovely meal tonight, food was excellent and great choice. My favourite place to eat in Lochgilphead!

Lovely meal and good service, would highly recommend 😊

Lovely lunch today. I had the chickpea burger and it was very tasty. Only down side of our visit was being too full for cake, they looked amazing�

Just back from my third visit in a week to the Smiddy! Excellent service, amazing food (the mac n cheese is a definite favourite!) and the baking is superb!! Some really nice, different items on the menu. Definitely worth popping in! Xx

I have been in the Smiddy several times now and can honestly say it never fails to deliver. Great food and pleasant staff. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a lunch or dinner in Lochgilphead.

Here's one for you not to miss when in Lochgilphead, The Smiddy Bistro, run by the lovely Bruce Johnston. You will not be disappointed, the food is freshly prepared and delicious. If you've got a sweet tooth and if its available then have a piece of caramel crunch, to die for

Had several meals in here & never a bad one.From set xmas menu to a night out, every meal has been delicious and beautifully presented.First place I recommend to anyone looking to eat out.

Had a lovely meal here on a Friday evening. We rocked up at 6pm and got a table, but if you want a later table, you'd better book as the place filled up quickly. Had a lovely starter of scallops and a main course of smoked fish. Wonderful atmosphere, great food, central location with free parking behind. Smiddy Bistro has something for everyone. Can't wait to go back.

Great meal in the smiddy last night thanks for keep us hens fed and watered

Great cheese scones......with butter!

Cracking wee place food was amazing very friendly staff. Cakes to die for lol

Busy little place but we were found a table in minutes food beautiful and fresh and staff were very friendly.

Beautiful meal tonight with interesting veggie options. Great service and reasonably priced. Thanks so much! Will definitely be back x

14.10.17 had a great meal haggis ball starter was amazing great food great value for money

Found this place years ago by chance. Super little place. Recently been taken over and pleased to say it’s still as good. Great food, something a little different . Good veg and salad options . If your touring that area it’s a must.
