Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A really nice lunch and lots of gluten free choices. We popped in for lunch and were very impressed with the polite and attentive service as well as the delicious lunch.

We come up to the area a couple of times a year and always stay in the immediate area, we always eat here. This time after so much time over the years telling some family how good it was they came away with us too...and yes on both our nights we ate here and was as good as ever and the other 4 in our party agreed too. We will be back in March. XMore

We had a couple of other choices to choose from as we was staying at the caravan site at Luss, for 2 days but we decided to go into this quaint, “The Village Rest” well what a lovely place, on this occasion we was only...having a drink, tea for the lady and a large wine for myself, they where quite busy and even though we wasn’t eating they found us a lovely table, as you do, well we do, we looked at the food coming out and the reactions on the other customers face when there food arrived, it was excellent, I asked the couple at the side of us what was there food like, top notch was his answer. The following day we went back to Luss village to visit one of the other Inns but could not go past “The Village Rest” so we went in and ordered the same as the day before, Ian, Joyce, Adam and the team instantly made us us feel genuinely welcome spending time to talk in such a busy “GEM” of a place, you might ask why we hadn’t eaten there, well we had Scallops from the fish monger that needed to be eaten. This review might sound a bit over the top but trust me if you drive by, you have missed a GEM of place eating and drinking Thank you guys hope you have a lovely holiday From June n Tony done the nc500 ❤️More

Fabulous bistro, clean, welcoming and very friendly. Great menu choices, very reasonably priced, and the veggie chilli was excellent, best I've ever had! I was on my own and staff were so friendly, I didn't feel at all uncomfortable.

We were staying in Luss for the night on the way to Skye. Came in for dinner and can’t fault it at all. Fish and scampi were delicious! Plus the bottle of wine was lovely too!

We have been a couple of occasions now for some evening food and what more can be said apart from FRIENDLY! The amazing team here clearly care about their restaurant and their customers. This restaurant was extremely dog friendly, in fact they seem to worship...the for legged k9s. The particular lady was giving dog treats. As a dog owner this is so special and something worth shouting about as our sausage doggo really hates people but he loved them. The food was exceptional. Steak done perfectly to how I like it and they listen to ever catering request and deal with it promptly and efficiently with absolutely no complaints. The decor is stunning and overall phenomenal. They charged my phone for me as we were staying at a nearby campsite with no power. True credit <3More

There is parking a couple of mins away on the left past the village rest. I would recommend duck bay in loch Lomond as a much better option to eat.
