The Parlour, Brodick

A little pizzeria and ice cream parlour on Brodick's shore road, baking stone-baked, hand-thrown pizzas and serving Arran ice cream.

Call
Welcome

The Parlour sits in a little white cottage on the shore road in Brodick, just across from the bay, with a wheel-shaped sign hanging above the door.

It does two things very well: pizza and ice cream.

The pizzas are hand-thrown and stone-baked, made to order from a long list that runs from classic pepperoni to more unusual toppings such as lamb and potato. There are choices for vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and dairy-free diets, and a range of Arran ice creams to finish, or to take across the road to the beach on a sunny day.

Inside, the room is long and bright, with a counter and stools where you can watch the chefs at the oven. The Parlour opens every day for lunch and dinner. It is small and very popular, so book a table or order your takeaway early.

Before you go
