Brechin's on Bridgend Street in Argyll & Bute

The owner was very tentative and the soup and baked potato was delicious.

Home made baking and made to order meals. Friendly hosts and atmosphere

We were in Bute for a day trip. Wandering on the streets we came across this cute Brasserie. What caught our eye was the decoration related to music. In the shop window they were selling a brilliant set of Shopping List sheets called: "Chopin Lizt". I got them. Once inside the waiter couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. Nice conversation, stories and environtment. In the menu, the only chicken burger was spicy. I asked him if they had a non-spicy chicken burger. He apologized for not having it. I order the spicy one. One minute later he came back with the news that somebody was going to the local butcher ( who provides daily the burgers and other stuff) to ask for a non-spicy chicken burguer. The burger was delicious. Fresh and tasty with homemade chips and nice salad. Hughly recommended. Well done Tim and Ann. You made our trip even more enjoyable.

Tim Saul and his wife run this fantastic little restaurant/music shop/bar in Rothesay. The food is good and unpretentious and the all day breakfast is unbeatable. The ambience is very relaxed with visitors and locals alike engaging in lively banter whilst aspiring and established musicians can sample the musical instruments available for purchase. In the short period we were there for lunch Tim sold 2 mandolins and a bodhran while serving meals and drinks and chatting with all and sundry. We could have stayed all day drinking coffee and just hanging out but we had a ferry to catch.

Delicious food, reasonable prices and relaxed atmosphere. A particular delight were the 'fries', which were actually small chunks of potato which had been cooked in olive oil. Very tasty.

Great coffee, wonderful atmosphere, really friendly and interesting owners. HIghly recommend.

Excellent coffee. Friendly owner and friendly atmosphere in cafe.

I saw that another person gave this awesome place 2 stars for not being open, and I just had to write my own review. Me and my wife visited Bute in the middle of 2015 and during our 5 day stay on Bute we visited Brechin's no less than 5 times. It was our office, our coffee shop, lunch spot and the owners treated us like family. It was a great place with freshly made soup and home baked bread rolls. The coffee was proper espresso made americano and lattes which we enjoyed very much (I think the only place on the island that didn't use nescafe). The place have great wifi and cool atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit when on Bute!

Amazing warm welcome from the owners who are passionate about music and Food. I had a lovely burger and my husband a proper Scottish breakfast

Four visits to Bute over the past 18 months and the owners of this restaurant have been on holiday every time!!! yet to sample the fare
