Great experience - very friendly, as a vegetarian the food was different and delicious. Homemade chips too 😃

The Lorne is well reviewed on this site and well thought of by locals. I didn’t book and was lucky to get a table. I had the black pudding and haggis Bon Bons. I wasn’t expecting the black pudding and haggis to be mixed together,...that’s how it is with food everyone interprets it differently, so not what I was expecting but tasty anyway. I followed this with the braised lamb shank with mashed potatoes and vegetables another good choice. When away I try to have local things in this case a pint of Seven Peaks IPA brewed in Glasgow, maybe not the best choice to go with the lamb but a good choice with the Bon Bons. The Lorne seemed to be popular, I was there on one of the burger special nights, I didn’t have one but they were popular and looked nice.More

We were in Dunoon for the ultramarathon which was cancelled due to the severe weather and flooding. The Lorne was a great place to eat at the end of a cold and soggy day. The staff are very welcoming. Nice bar as you go in...with a wide selection of all drinks, including some excellent cocktails. The food menu had something to suit all tastes, including a brilliant monkfish special. The food was attractively presented, well cooked and tasty with generous portions. The serving staff were friendly and helpful. All in all an excellent choice for the evening and we’ll definitely book here again next time we’re in Dunoon.More

This was my first trip to Dunoon and it’s no surprise that this is #1 here. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The restaurant itself had a lovely atmosphere and was busy, however it didn’t feel it as the tables are far from eachother!...There was a wide range of choices to have for your meal and was delicious! Would definitely recommend to anyone who is in the area!More

This pub/restaurant came highly recommended. It is advisable to book. The staff are very pleasant and welcoming. We ordered a wine at the bar and were taken straight away to our table. My wife had King Prawns in batter with a sweet chilli dip followed...by Mac and cheese which didn't look a lot but was creamy and rich. I am a sucker for Cullen Skink which I ordered the smaller portion as a starter. It was fantastic, I regretted not having the main size portion a sticking with that. For my main I had steak and ale pie with chunky chips and seasonal veg. This was a steak and ale pie like mo other. The pastry top was soft and flaky. The steak was soft tender, melt in the mouth. The gravy was dark, rich and very tasty. I couldn't even tackle the chips. Thank you for a wonderful meal. Highly recomended.More

Belting restaurant all the favourites on the menu very friendly staff, good clean toilets and a generously sized heated and covered smoking area

Great menu, really friendly staff and good drinks menu. We had the mixed grill and steaks, food was really good and staff very attentive.

Went here for a late lunch with my friend & my dog. Doggy table in bar was not available so asked to have lunch in marquee only to be told that they don't serve food in the marquee. Very dissapointed as menu looked good. They...must be doing well if they can turn custom away. We went 4 miles down the road to Innellan to the Royal. Totally Dog Friendly & excellent food though not a big menu. Bus stops just outside the Royal so give it a try.More

Popped in here on our visit to Dunoon for lunch, and wasn't disappointed, it was lovely, I had steak pie, hubby had lasagna, both were delicious I finished off with pavlova and hubby ice cream, a great wee pub with friendly staff, not too big...so a nice homely atmosphere.More

If only more places were dog friendly like this place and water provided for our dog. Nice friendly staff who were very efficient. Food was fantastic and one of the specials for Sunday ( roast beef) was particularly very good. Generous portions and not priced...either.More

We walked from Hunters Quay Holiday Park with our dog and stopped by for lunch. Didn’t have a booking but got a table outside in the marquee which was ideal for us. Lunch was lovely and our server was great, couldn’t have done more for...us. Glad we chanced our luck and got a table.More

I have just returned from a week in Dunoon and ate at the Lorne twice. The food was absolutely amazing freshly cooked the mixed grill was top notch. I also had the gammon another night which was out of this world. The staff are very...welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble. If anyone is in the area this place is a must.More
