Meals
Guests have a choice of four restaurants: the unequalled Cameron Grill, the divine Boathouse or the inviting Claret Jug, the best 19th hole in Scotland. A stunning restaurant, the Cameron Grill has taken hotel dining to another level. The open plan kitchen also demonstrates the dedication to making the entire experience an unforgettable one from start to finish. In complete contrast is the light and airy setting of The Boathouse. The Boathouse's décor is a nod to New England style, with stunning views out over the marina and the loch itself. The Claret Jug offers a more informal and relaxed environment, perfect for home-made burgers and steak pies to fill you up after a bracing round of golf, or a deliciously fresh salad to give you that nourishing boast after a wallow in the spa. For a more formal dining experience, Martin Wishart at Loch Lomond is a must. The second restaurant for the Michelin star chef opened in December 2008. The world-renowned chef has a long association with Cameron House, having worked as a Chef de Partie there when the hotel opened in 1991. The menu consists of seasonal dishes created in traditional and modern French style of cooking, complimented with an expertly selected wine list, impeccably served.
