Italian restaurant launches at Cameron House

A five-star luxury resort on Loch Lomond launches a new Italian restaurant today (18 March). 

The new restaurant, La Vista, offers modern all-day dining alongside a deli and food shop. 

Formerly The Boat House, the resort has invested £2m in transforming the Lochside restaurant into a modern, light and airy dining space with 138 covers, an informal mercato with a dining area for 50 guests and a private dining room for up to 24 people. An alfresco terrace launching this summer will provide an additional 120 covers. 

A menu with modern flair

Open seven days a week from breakfast through dinner, head chef Mark Pawsey's main menu celebrates authentic Italian cuisine and features dishes rooted in traditional recipes, executed with modern flair. The menu is divided into small aperitivo plates and cicchetti, larger signature mains, handmade pasta and wood-fired pizzas cooked in a Valoriani oven. Classic signature mains include grilled swordfish with artichoke tapenade, deep-fried anchovies and caper berries; and chicken Milanese spaghetti Napolitana. 

Accompanying the menu will be a concise list of crafted cocktails and spritzes, including a dedicated negroni menu with eight variations and an extensive wine list. 

Michael Lavizani, report director, says of the opening: "We are delighted to unveil our newest dining experience, La Vista, at Cameron House. Reflecting on the rich history of the estate, the restaurant takes inspiration from the breathtaking vistas of Loch Lomond and the adventures of Tobias Smollett, the renowned Scottish author whose family once owned Cameron House Hotel. La Vista celebrates the vibrant culinary heritage of Italy, curated by our skilled chefs and management team. Open daily to both guests and locals, we look forward to bringing a touch of la dolce vita to the resort."
