A new and exciting dining destination is on the horizon for food enthusiasts and visitors alike in the picturesque setting of Tarbet, Loch Lomond. Scheduled to open its doors in April 2025, Kirk O’The Lochs, a charming new restaurant and bar, is the latest venture from the esteemed Lomond Leisure Group. Nestled in the heart of the stunning Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, this establishment promises a unique dining experience that seamlessly blends traditional Scottish cuisine with a contemporary flair, all crafted using locally sourced ingredients.
A Historic Transformation
The focal point of this culinary endeavor is the meticulously restored church that will house Kirk O’The Lochs. Once a place of worship, this historic building has been reimagined into a welcoming space that can accommodate up to 100 guests. The fusion of old-world charm with modern amenities sets the stage for a dining experience that is as visually captivating as it is gastronomically satisfying.
Derek Mallon, the director at Lomond Leisure Group, expressed his enthusiasm for the project, stating, “We are excited to bring our passion for Scottish cuisine and hospitality to this beautiful region.” With a focus on celebrating Scotland’s rich culinary heritage, Kirk O’The Lochs aims to create a warm and inviting atmosphere that caters to both locals and tourists seeking an authentic taste of the region.
A Culinary Journey Through Scotland
Guests can expect a menu that pays homage to traditional Scottish dishes while incorporating innovative twists that appeal to modern palates. From hearty Sunday lunches to a curated selection of Scottish ales and whiskies, Kirk O’The Lochs offers a diverse culinary journey that showcases the best flavors the region has to offer. The outdoor beer garden provides the perfect setting to savor these delectable offerings against the backdrop of Loch Lomond’s natural beauty.
Owned by the same visionary minds behind popular establishments such as Mharsanta and Van Winkle in Glasgow, as well as Tolbooth Tavern in Edinburgh, Kirk O’The Lochs is poised to become a cornerstone of culinary excellence in the area. Whether you are a seasoned food connoisseur or simply looking for a memorable dining experience, this new addition to Tarbet promises to delight and inspire with its unique blend of tradition and innovation.
