Ardeonaig Hotelier Scoops Award

The restaurant at the Ardeonaig Hotel on South Loch Tay has been awarded the Bib Gourmand from Michelin.

The award is the penultimate step before a Michelin star and it reflects the Ardeonaig’s strong reputation for excellent food and service since South African chef-owner Pete Gottgens took over this 18th century drovers’ inn in 2003

A fourth generation hotelier, he arrived in the UK in 1991 and quickly opened four South African-themed restaurants in London..

At the moment he is in the middle of a £1.2 million refurbishment programme to the hotel and its dining facilities so guests will have to wait until late May to sample Pete’s cooking.

 


Influenced by local farmers and crofters who grow or rear seasonal products, his cuisine is described as 'flavour-driven, sustainable, simply-cooked food'.

As part of the development, the new kitchen will incorporate a chef’s kitchen table where guests will be able to dine either on their own, as a couple - or a maximum of six - served by the chefs. This will allow guests to experience the passion, skill, flair and commitment that has earned the Michelin recognition.
