Sugar Boat

Lunch at the Sugar Boat was lovely. Food was brilliant and good choice on menu. Relaxed atmosphere. Daniel looked after us and was great, very attentive . Highly recommend 😁

Visited Sugar Boat for a late breakfast. We had the full breakfast, a pancakes, and a smoked salmon and eggs on toast. All were delicious, highly recommended! Coffee was also great. Really liked the decor, it had a fresh, upmarket modern look. The cakes also looked excellent, but I didn't try them as having cake for breakfast feels like breaking an unspoken rule of life.

We’ve been coming to the Sugarboat for years now and, while there was a blip for a period, we’re happy it’s back to being a welcoming place with good food and drink. I think it was Ebony who served us today, and she was friendly and helpful. It’s a nice place to be with its decor and good tunes. The wines are usually excellent, but had to forgo a glass today due to driving. We had lunch, which consisted of the open steak sandwich and fries and a chilli and garlic chicken sandwich. Both were yummy, with the steak being juicy and tender and the chicken nice and fresh-tasting. Their skinny fries are the best!

The menu had a good selection available. The food order was taken quickly and the food arrived in good time. The food was nice, although the chicken was a little flat in flavour. Compared to other pleases locally, it is good but not up at the top. Riverhill, Gingerbread Man and The Perch are superior. A couple of downsides. The bench seat was filthy with lots of dust along the top. The open kitchen, great concept, but blenders running constantly isn’t great for guests having a conversation. The coffee pricing was poor too. Charging extra for decaf and also milk alternative which brings a flat white close to £5! It’s 2024, milk alternative and decaf are standard options in most quality coffee places when coffees start around the £3 mark.

Brilliant place! We whent for a nice dinner put for a birthday starters where lovley I had the soup of the day wich was a red lentils soup amazing. For my main I chose a amazing Sunday roast! Brilliant. Would recommend the prices are matched to what you get and the place on a Sunday at about 5pm was very quiet compared to what you would think. Lovley atmosphere and would come back agian.

Had a roast beef sunday dinner here. Beef was perfect and a decent portion, could have done with a few more veggies on the plate, but that's just me. Was more than satisfied nevertheless. Staff pleasant and attentive. Place was spotless.

This is the second time we have enjoyed a meal at The Sugar Boat. The staff are so friendly and offer exceptional service. The food is delicious. The scallops were outstanding. Lovely decor. We will definitely be back again on a future visit to Scotland and perhaps take advantage of staying at The Sugar Boat for a night or two as well.

Great lunch spot! Dog-friendly, the food was great, and our waiter Daniel was extremely kind. Would very much come back :)

We stayed at Sugar Boat for a few nights in July 2023, right after they opened up the room upstairs for travelers, and had a good experience. The rooms are decorated with a very modern look and spotless clean, albeit a wee too small. What was really convenient was the restaurant downstairs where we ended up having most of our meals. The food was delicious with great wine pairings. Breakfast was a bit underwhelming with a considerable lack of good service if compared to the other meals.

Food beautifully prepared and as a plus very tasty. Staff friendly and helpful. Outside seating adds to the atmosphere

The food was awesome and the service was good. The ambiance are great since we we ate outside.

My favourite place in Helensburgh for lunch or dinner. Superb quality menu and I never get dissapointed. Beautiful presented food which makes this place my favourite. Friendly, cheerfull staff, highly recommended 5 star. Will be back!

Accidentally came across this lovely little restaurant last week. Small but comfortable with a lovely atmosphere. Staff super friendly with delicious food. Thoroughly recommend.

Amazing food and drinks in a trendy but comfortable atmosphere. To start our party had drinks around the giant marble bar, the bartenders made amazing cocktails and were flexible with making drinks to taste. Mixologist quality without the mixologist attitude. Dinner was the same sort of experience, excellent food and service with a low key, unpretentious presentation. Would love to return some day.
