Enjoy waterfront dining in the Marina Restaurant and Bar. With award-winning cuisine and panoramic views of Loch Fyne, this is one of the top places to eat in Argyll. Linger over lunch or dinner and watch the yachts sail by.
Floor-to-ceiling glass awaits you, and every table offers a view of the marina and beyond. This is shore-side dining at its best. Sample a wide selection of produce from ’Argyll`s larder’, skilfully prepared by our culinary team and served to you by our passionate and knowledgeable front-of-house staff.
Enjoy al fresco dining on the terrace when weather permits, or wrap up warm and enjoy a hot chocolate as you watch the ever-changing skies roll in over Loch Fyne.

What can I say . Ordered 8oz steak hand cut chips, confit mushrooms and tomato. Arrived with steak covered in basil leaves, where did the chef think that’s an an acceptable. 1 Was not confit mushrooms, 2 slices of, tomato 2 grilled slices. For this I paid £33 , this meal was exactly what Weathespoons steak night serve For a fraction of the price .Yes we chose to dine here and knew the price, but this was a shocker .

Beautiful destinations! Stayed 2 nightsWe booked for dinner. Had cocktails which were good Food delicious, waitress was amazing, senior/manager lazing about The atmosphere was poor no ambience and too bright. The tables looked like the cafe at ikes and napkins wafer thin. To drive this far one expects a high standard. Not rushing to return

The Hake was dry and overcooked and despite telling the waitress nothing was done to rectify this other than a mumbled apology. There was no vanilla ice cream and then the whisky my husband ordered a Laphroaig was also not available. The wine we ordered a Chenin Blanc was warm and over priced. Not sure how this restaurant got two rosette’s as the food quality we experienced was definitely not worthy

Breakfast day 1 Excellent Haddock and poached eggs. Dinner day 1 Excellent.Everyone had a great experience. Breakfast day 2 Disappointing. Bacon was fatty and tasteless. Black pudding not good. Potato scones disappointing. Poached eggs still first class. Toast, pastries and continental buffet were all very good. Staff were brilliant.

Service was fantastic. Food was lovely. Lightning was far too bright made it feel like a canteen. Maybe seat couples upstairs? Make that more romantic? Couldn’t really hear any music but knew it was on.

Ever since we started visiting Portavadie, the vegetarian option(s) on the main menu have always been a bit uninspiring if I'm honest. Usually I don't really expect a particularly tasty meal here as a vegetarian option. However this time I opted for some kind of Malaysian curry and it was beautiful. The most enjoyable meal I've had in ages. I couldn't believe how much better it was than the meal had expected! The only odd thing was that it was a Malaysian type curry and I didn't get a spoon for it. But it was so filling and tasty that I didn't get to the point of needing a spoon for my curry. Thanks for such a great vegetarian meal.
