A welcome spot among the somewhat tired line of pubs around this part of Tarbert's waterfront, this cheerful, locally popular cafe has bright and breezy staff and walls attractively adorned with nautical charts. As well as some standard Scottish cafe fare such as macaroni cheese and baked potatoes, it also offers some innovative daily specials based around local seafood.
