A 'hidden gem' Scottish restaurant with a quirky menu concept is celebrating its second year of TripAdvisor award winning success.

Located in the small fishing village of Tarbert, Lulabelles prides itself on creating a cosy atmosphere with 'funky tunes' and warming food that 'won't be found anywhere else'.

Throughout the summer season, this means tapas plates while Alpine-mountain-style dishes are introduced from Autumn onwards.

Highlights include a raclette cheese platter, tartiflette and cheese fondues with bread, pickles and charcuterie.

This paired with friendly service has earned the team a Travellers Choice Award from TripAdvisor for the second time.

This distinction is awarded to restaurants which consistently earn great reviews from travellers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor. 

The team said: "Visitors to our small fishing village are often thrilled to discover the Kintyre Peninsula with all it has to offer and are very surprised to find Lulabelles of Tarbert hidden at the end of the high street.

"Whilst many popular restaurants, in the Highlands and Islands, close throughout the winter months, we remain steadfastly open.

"So if you’re planning a wee Winter Break, why not consider Tarbert?"

Following news of the win, Lulabelles is now looking forward to the festive season with plans to host its annual Hogmanay Party.

Priced at £40, tickets include a welcome drink as well as your pick of snacks from a feasting table with snowball fights and a snow machine for entertainment.

Lulabelles of Tarbert is located at 55 Harbour Street in Tarbert.
