The Upper Crust

A little gem in Helensburgh. Slightly hidden away but well worth a visit. The place itself is bursting with character having been a bakery in a previous life. Food is great as are the hosts. Very engaging and helpful. Scallops are highly recommended for the starter while the steaks are also good. Definitely a place to try if in the area. Opening days can vary so recommended that you book ahead.

The atmosphere here is truly unique – the decor feels like a living room, with personal touches that give the space real character. The food was excellent, well-prepared and beautifully presented. Every dish was a pleasant surprise. The service was friendly and attentive, with a personal touch that we really appreciated. It’s a place that stands out for its quality and individuality – perfect for anyone looking for something authentic and a bit off the beaten path.

A little gem tucked away in Helensburgh. Absolutely delightful with perfectly cooked dishes by Mary, and wonderful attention from Roger. All the food is freshly sourced and beautifully cooked. The scallop and blackpudding starter a must! The lemon sole, vennison, and crannachan all so yummy!!! Set in an old bakery, the room is quirky and filled with interesting items that themselves are talking points. The Upper Crust is memorable, so different to anywhere else in Helensburgh and a must. Thank you for a perfect visit! We will be back!

The Upper Crust is a tiny hidden gem packed with atmosphere, with truly fantastic food by Mary paired with fascinating stories from Roger. Don't miss Roger's stories of his filmmaking days, his eclectic music collection, the cosy and artistic surroundings - and of course Mary's delicious dishes. Sublime.

Very very, might I say, VERY nice restaurant in this quaint little town. We had a lavish dinner celebrating our completion of the West Highland Way. The service was pleasant and fun. The interior very cosy and warming. The food honest and delicious. When your hungry in Helensburgh (or 20 miles around it), it's a must go. Thanks for the wondeful evening.

I've been here a number of times and every experience has been fantastic. There is a very relaxed, welcoming atmosphere accompanied by delicious food (from bread to dessert).

Had one of the best nights with my partner. The hospitality was great, we had a laugh, served very quickly and the food was amazing!! Portion sizes were perfect we had a 3 course meal normally that would never happen. A big shout out to the waiter and the chef's, it was a superb night! Overall myself and partner thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will be back again for sure!
