Buckleys Small Plates — Restaurant in Scotland

This cosy, atmospheric restaurant is a fantastic and refreshing culinary enhancement to Gourock.

Before going to our table we sat at the bar and was able to watch the Waverly paddle steamer sail past while enjoying a glass of 🥂🍾! (There’s a couple of stool-style seats at the window too which also offer a nice view while you dine.)

The quality of food is superb with a well put together menu that offers something for everyone. We had 6 plates to share (mostly!) one of those from the specials too - gyros flatbreads which were stunningly good. We had a tapas of mussels, halloumi & apple skewers, bravas, salmon and pork bao buns - they were all equally delicious, flavoursome & a lot of care had gone into the preparation and presentation of the dishes by the chefs & kitchen staff.

We didn’t have room for dessert but did see a couple next to us sharing a very nice looking cheesecake.

We did have two very well put together mojitos to finish off, one standard & one with coconut which was a nice twist. 🍸

Not sorry for the lack of photos, it’s a reflection of how good a night it was so you’ll just have to trust this and experience for yourself.

Thank you so much for looking after us & we will definitely back with...

What a lovely surprise finding this little gem! Passing through Gourock tonight on the way home to Dunoon my husband and I and two friends stopped looking for a small bite of food. We noticed this place and it mentioned small bites. It was very busy and we were asked if we had booked, which we hadn't. We explained we really only want a quick bite and away and one table which was reserved became available for us. The lady who helped us get a table was friendly and went out her way to fit us in. There was a great choice of smaller bites on the menu. I'm vegetarian and had a good choice too. I only wish we had booked as the food was really tasty and would have loved to have stayed longer. We will definitely book soon. Happy to travel the ferry across for some well cooked different food from a happy lovely group of busy staff. You've got this place just right, please open one in Dunoon....

A modern take on tapas, and wonderful food, and staff. I had an amazing meal out here a few days ago, and I will be back, even from Manchester. We had around 12 dishes to share between the 4 of us and even loved the butternut squash salad so much we ordered it twice. Hightlights were a goats cheese dish with onions, the califlower, the pulled pork mac and cheese croquettes and a sublime homemade cheesecake. I look forward to trying the rest of the menu. We only had one dish that was really average (salmon parcels with a dill sauce) everything else was sublime.

Dishes came out quickly so don't feel you have to order things all at once (we had a couple of sittings), and the staff are lovely and helpful. I would highly...
