A new partnership between revered Scottish chefs Paul Tamburrini and Martin Wishart will see new fine-dining restaurant Tamburrini & Wishart open at the five-star Cameron House Hotel at Loch Lomond this summer.
Tamburrini & Wishart will offer a “contemporary and innovative dining experience with seasonal produce at its heart” with diners enjoying a five-course tasting menu that will change every two weeks, and a three-course lunch menu embracing modern techniques while celebrating classical flavours.
Inspired by Scotland’s natural larder including world-class seafood such as hand-dived Orkney scallops, Gigha halibut and fresh langoustines, the chefs will work premium suppliers to showcase quality produce including Dornoch lamb, chicken from St Brides Poultry and, seasonal game and vegetables.
The three-course lunch menu will present seasonal dishes like Red Wine Braised Ox Cheeks, Crab and Lemongrass Velouté, and a Pink Lady Tart Tatin for two.
Michelin-starred Wishart, who brings a wealth of experience in menu development and creating unforgettable dining experiences, says: “It’s fantastic to be announcing some good news after the trials and tests of the pandemic and I’m excited to be returning to Cameron House Resort.
“This is an exciting opportunity to bring an elevated offering to the hotel's collection of restaurants. The venue itself will be stylish with a great atmosphere, where guests know they will get contemporary, flavour-led cuisine. Paul and I are both incredibly passionate about our love of food and designing menus using the very best of seasonal produce. It’s an exciting period for us, the resort, and returning guests.”
The chefs have enjoyed a long relationship having worked together for over 20 years at Michelin-star Restaurant Martin Wishart in Leith and The Honours, which closed in 2020 because of the pandemic.
Tamburrini added: “Cameron House Resort is a very special place. I worked there in the early stages of my career and loved every minute of it, so to now be leading a new fine-dining offering in tandem with Martin Wishart is an absolute honour. We have collaborated successfully in the past and we’re confident this venture at Cameron House will be no different.”
Cameron House is due to reopen on August 1. The restored 140-bedroom hotel is also home to the Cameron Grill restaurant, The Boat House, The Clubhouse at Cameron and Café spa at The Cameron Club, all of which draw on the resort’s Loch Lomond location for inspiration.
New attractions include a 35-seater cinema, tavern and lobby bar, serving champagne and afternoon teas. The wider Cameron House Resort is home to an award-winning spa complete with a rooftop infinity pool, an 18-hole championship golf course, and a 234-berth marina.
The resort is also currently undergoing a multi-million-pound extension, which will include a brand-new ballroom and an additional 68 bedrooms.
