Never fails to impress
It may be a 40 mile drive to get here but it is worth every mile of it. From the moment you see the building you know you are in for something special. Having the opportunity to sit in a Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed building and eat an exceptional lunch makes this one of the best places to eat in the west of Scotland. The menu has a good choice of courses and never fails to impress in the quality and presentation. The service is always courteous and efficient The prices are amazing for what is offered. When you have finished your lunch do not fail to make a visit to the house to see the amazing designs of CRM.
Going to the Art Lovers' Cafe for lunch offers an experience that everyone should have at least once in their lifetime.

A perfect lunch
Superb food, speedy but unobtrusive service, left undisturbed for 3 hours despite the 1&1/2 hour suggested restriction, lovely setting. Delighted with the entire experience.
