Newly established in Balloch, The Kilted Skirlie offers an authentic taste of Scotland to accompany views of Loch Lomond and the towering Ben Lomond. You'll find a welcoming, romantic and relaxed restaurant inside, while a fantastic decked terrace offers a beautiful alfresco setting. Although you may not always be able to rely on the weather, you can depend on the hard-working team at The Kilted Skirlie, whose meticulous attention to detail guarantees a fantastic dining experience.
With its colourful, elegant decor and relaxed atmosphere, The Kilted Skirlie provides the perfect setting in which to enjoy Scottish cuisine (and perhaps a cocktail) after a hard day's shopping or exploring the stunning surrounding area. Head chef Steve Kinniburgh, armed with international experience and a comprehensive knowledge of local produce, has created a diverse menu that offers a little bit of everything. Whether you're feeling adventurous and want to try one of the restaurant's more unusual dishes - such as pan-fried rainbow trout rolled in oats, served on a bed of kedgeree - or desire a simple and hearty meal like the time-honoured prime Scottish steak, you will be absolutely spoilt for choice.
The option of a three-course set menu at £16.95 boasts a selection of starters like the gateau of haggis, neeps and tatties, main courses that employ the restaurant's local Scottish ingredients such as Scottish lamb gigot chop, venison sausages and desserts like raspberry cranachan. There is even the opportunity to request the chef's specially created dessert of the day, so there is sure to be something to satisfy and impress even the most discerning diner. The restaurant also offers set menus throughout the day, and an exclusive à la carte menu which offers many of the dishes mentioned above.
Although the current chef and team only took over in 2006, their commitment to quality and high standards has meant that The Kilted Skirlie has quickly forged a reputation as a superb place to dine - a reputation that is spreading far beyond Balloch.
