RestaurantAt Old Pines we ensure that everything served in our restaurant is 100% homemade and where possible locally produced or organic. The West Coast of Scotland has a fantastic source of fresh fish from both the sea and lochs, as well as wild venison from the local hills and beef and lamb from local farms. Wherever possible we source organic ingredients for our cooking and have an organic vegetable garden which provides the kitchen with fresh lettuce, tomatoes and various seasonal vegetables. We bake our own bread daily and make all our own ice-cream, jams and marmalades, desserts, pasta, scones and shortbread. We also have a separate vegetarian menu and can cater for special diets.
Our restaurant is located at the front of the hotel with stunning views of the Nevis Range in the distance and our garden with surrounding ancient pine trees. The restaurant has a clean and airy atmosphere with slate flooring, timber clad walls, crisp white table linen, sparkling glassware and in the evenings is lit to be intimate and cosy. Leading directly from the lounge with deep sofas and wood-burning stove, the restaurant will beckon you to spend many a relaxed evening enjoying excellent homecooked food and carefully selected organic wines.
