Taste Of Argyll Kitchen in Argyll & Bute

Popped in on way to getting ferry to Mull; nice friendly service, lovely food and a smashing cup of Tea. We’ll be back!

This place is the real deal. Not fancy, just delicious local food items that leave you wanting more. Definitely go here.

Best breakfast in town First class food

A hole in the wall kind of place serving all day breakfasts. Good food and fast service.

Just had a crumpet stack. It was very nice. The yoke of the poached egg was a fresh bright orange colour and the haggis and black pudding were so tasty. Would certainly recommend

Thank you very much for this welcome, Your smile A very good address!

Best breakfast EVER, so fresh and delicious, would recommend all day long

Wanted to eat there, but waiter said they were closed and it was only 1:45. Hours showed open till 3?

Excellent breakfast and the staff were very nice. Small little restaurant but definitely worth while to stop in.

Lovely and simple place for a nice breakfast. Everything is home made and we do not have to wait long time for it. Nice to have a smily welcome when we get in and a gentille exchange during out meal time. We really appreciated and last but not the least we went on Sunday morning 😊 ⭐️👏

The girls behind the counter were just lovely. The place is small but they're professional at getting the tables turned around fast while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. The food was lovely, especially the bacon and the coffee is excellent. It was so good we went back twice. As did the nice German couple we met there.

We usually pop in when we come over from Mull and this little cafe never disappoints. My absolute favourite are their homemade sausages which remind me of the ones my Nan used to bring us from down south 60yrs ago. The taste instantly remind me of her....bless her. Top cafe. Highly recommended. 5*****

I had high expectations given the rave reviews, but I was sorely disappointed. The food was bland, and the portions were tiny for the price. It felt like I was paying gourmet prices for mediocre, cafeteria-style food. Won't be returning.

My experience at Taste of Argyll Kitchen was exceptional. The traditional Scottish breakfast was hearty and delicious, with perfectly cooked black pudding and tattie scones. The rustic decor and friendly service created a charming and inviting atmosphere. I'm so grateful. Thanks so much.

Taste of Argyll Kitchen is a fantastic spot for Scottish cuisine lovers. The attention to detail in every dish is evident, from the beautifully smoked haddock to the hearty lamb stew. The staff's knowledge of the menu and their genuine passion for the food added to the wonderful dining experience. Can't wait to visit again!

Sunday it's a tricky for breakfast around 11am. I have tried most of city centre eateries, but all closed or all seats taken. Thankfully there is Taste of Argyll. Various options to choose from. I had quite a hunger, so went for full breakfast and large flat white. It was spot on. Nothing spectacular, but exactly what I was looking for. Very friendly staff. Bare in mind theres only couple tables.

We found this cozy place just around the corner from our accommodation and the food was very tasty. The ladies running the place were very efficient and polite while not over the top, just like normal people running a busy little shop. It made for a lovely moment of our trip.

Been here almost a week and we were getting desperate to find a hostlery worthy of 5 stars THIS is it. Walked past it first time as they had a dry dog bowl outside. Still dry second time but the breakfast just been served to the customer in the window seat looked good. It was, well cooked well presented and most of all really tasty. My wife had baked potato (properly baked) and plenty of filling. Other diners seemed pleased also. Highly recommended Good food good value good service

A lovely breakfast. All ingredients sourced from their own farm. I had the waffles with bacon and maple syrup and my husband had the haggis and black pudding stack. Service was quick and friendly. Everything was reasonably priced.

Heel teleurstellend. 10 minuten na onze bestelling (de verse visschotel waar we naar uitkeken - forel, zalm, garnalen enz... ) werd ons gemeld 'dat er niet genoeg over was. We kozen dan de gefrituurde scampi. Niet slecht maar zeer gewoontjes. Als drank konden we kiezen tussen een bruin bier of een pinot grigoo in een flesje van 175 ml. Ook wat de mensen naast ons geserveerd werd was niets bijzonders. Idem voor de klantvriendelijkheid: nietconvriendelijk, maar nogal afstandelijk. De plek is klein (wat soms een pluspunt is, maar hier helaas niet) en mag wat beter gepoetst worden. Prijzen zeker ook te duur voor wat wordt geserveerd. Er is veel beter te vinden in Oban.

Stopped in for brunch on our way to Luing and what a brilliant decision that was !! Best breakfast we’ve had outside our own kitchen…no kidding! Family run, produce from own farm and entertained by some fab people. Do yourself a favour and visit …you won’t be disappointed….promise!

Best breakfast in Oban. Hidden gem ! Dead easy to find though. Absolutely central. Get the Full Crofters …. all day if you like …. Scottish breakfast at its finest.

One of the best place to eat in Oban. There is a good food with the reasonable price, great ambient and (most importantly) very nice friendly service. Highly recommend.

Hidden gem! Very nice cosy breakfast spot! Seating inside and out. Breakfast roll was delicious, sausage and egg tasted like very good quality and was cooked to perfection. Coffee tasted great too. Lady who served us was very welcoming and friendly would definitely recommend and return if visiting Oban again 😊

Cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, tasty food and reasonable prices. Definitely a recommendation!

Excellent little cafe (REALLY SMALL) food is great, so don't tell everyone.

Best tatties Ive had such being in scotland. I cant find good ones again!! The staff are really friendly and welcoming. Always trying to sort out seats for you when its busy. The place is clean and food is lovely. Would definitely return! :) Also thought it was a lovely touch to have deodrant and womens products in the toilets.

A very cozy restaurant on a side street in Oban. Delicious home-cooked food! Something for every appetite. Lots of locals which is always a good sign. The service was personal and friendly.

Great little place. Excellent service. Super kind and welcoming. Clean restaurant and washrooms. Food was great. Had Full Crofters and it hit the spot. Flat White coffee was perfection after a long day of travel.

I've been here a few times now, the staff are brilliant and the food is cooked to perfection, I find myself going there for a breakfast whenever I'm in Oban, I've been twice this month already

This establishment is now closed

Cute, quaint little cafe. We got scotch eggs (which were delicious) over a lovely, fresh salad, and a Ham and Cheese toasty with fresh salad and coleslaw. Waitress was friendly and very helpful in helping suggest items to get, and the service was great! It only took about 12-15 mins to get our food. If you have a large party, not the place, but if only 2-4 people they should be able to seat you.

Delicious breakfast. Served by attentive staff. Just what we needed.

Enjoyed a fresh ham and cheese toastie with the best little side salad along with delicious soup of the day. Cute little space just slightly off main road. Well worth popping in.

This is a delightful small cafe off Oban's main street. I enjoyed my breakfast there, and would definitely recommend for visitors to Oban!

An absolutely amazing place for breakfast. The food was brilliant and they catered for both a celiac and a vegan. They even remade my breakfast when I ordered something that wasn't gluten-free by accident. Could not have asked for better.

Dirty small and inadequate help. Not a good experience. Just another dirty hole in the wall in Oban. Save your money for a good place

Found by chance, myself and friends enjoyed a fab breakfast! Friendly staff and great choice, all freshly cooked to order.

Freezing cold typical Scottish January morning - perfect for the warm welcome and hot food served here.

A real gem, fantastic food and friendly service

A gem of a place. Plain and simple surroundings but excellent food. I had steak pie, veg and chips. Steak was melt in the mouth in a thick gravy. Friend had chicken soup which she said was delicious and a toasties. Could not fault the food or the staff.

A popular spot for b'fast and lunch in Oban town centre. The full b'fast cost £9.99 and as such was good value for money. All freshly cooked and served with a smile. Nice to get proper link sausage (rather than the dry Lorne square sausage often served around these parts). Everything cooked well..although personally I prefer mushrooms cooked in butter. A great shout to support local independent shops.

Thanks to a “sandwich board” we spotted on the corner of the high street, we took a chance on this little cafe. It was a great decision. The menu was varied (something for everyone) and the food was absolutely delicious. It was packed with people, and it’s easy to see why. The staff were friendly and the atmosphere was cozy.

What a treat!. This is a little restaurant up a side street in Oban. Don't be fooled by its location. It provides the loveliest wholesome, freshly made food you will find here Fab service and very reasonable prices. A real gem!!

Decent wee place for breakfast. Nice tea choices. Also cater for veggies

Great food. But the two very young waitresses had a slight attitude due to business. When I asked for a table of two, her eyes rolled and her body language was as if to say "yes that empty table but we are very busy". Secondly, the back of house staff cooking food were in constant argument with the two front of house girls, which for such a small place is heard by everyone eating. Shouting and arguing while I'm having breakfast is not what I want. The food was lovely and the girls did put on fake smiles. I did see one fellow walk out quite angrily after being met with an attitude from the waitress. He was noticeably annoyed and from what I heard of the conversation she was trying to turn away business when there were clearly spaces free. The spaces however, had not been cleared of the previous guests crockery. A crying shame. This place could be ran better and staff should be trained on how to deal with stress. Keep the good food coming. Drop the attitudes from the front of house.

Whoever said " hidden wee gem" is spot on. You'll be surprised at what's on offer. Great find....we will return🤣🤣

We had a delicious breakfast here. Very good service, even though it was very busy.

Best Scotch egg in Scotland. Hand made and served warm with big salad and coleslaw. Absolutely delicious! Great service too. Thank you 😊

Not only has this wee cozy and hidden gem got the best breakfast in Oban but the best by far in any establishment I have had. A wonderful dining experience excellent service and beautifully decorated. My sister and I stopped in for breakfast and it was amazing there was no problems having scrambled egg with mine and extra toast. If you haven't been it's a must I loved the fact that the little touches like jam and butter on the table and bottles of water for the table where on offer. Being a hospitality manger and working in various establishments I can honestly this was a fantastic experience and made our day. So thank you from us for being amazing.

Went in with my sister for breakfast and turned out to be the best I've had. Asked for my fried egg to be well done and that's exactly what I got, it was perfect. Don't normally eat square sausages but it was delicious. Everything was beautiful and a lovely host. Looking forward to visiting again.

Definitely the tastiest breakfast I've ever had. Each individual component had flavour. All ingredients are locally sourced & you can really tell. Great service too, very friendly.

The pictures in the other reviews don't seem to be from the place I went to. I think there might be 2 different "taste of Argyll" or something. The one I went to had sticky tables and the food looked and tasted like taken straight from a box and plated. Frozen food that was reheated and served. I wouldn't recommend it

Popped over from Mull to collect new glasses and decided to have a full breakfast in this little cafe.....and it was absolutely delicious.......alway nice to find a perfect little watering hole when we visit the mainland and this is definitely worth a revisit 5*****

Came here for a breakfast whilst visiting Oban. Lovely breakfast beautifully cooked and pleasant staff. Definitely worth a visit

Amazingly tasty food, freshly made and my Highland beef pie was packed with succulent beef pieces topped with flaky pastry. The vegetables were plentiful, and the mash soooo creamy. Husband had the pork and apple burger with chips, also delicious. We rounded off the meal with lemon and blueberry cake with cream. Shocked we were the only ones in on a Saturday night! Wanted to wear a sandwich board advertising this little gem!

Food superb excellent value for money and the service first class The lady that served us was friendly and helpful as well as being informative regarding the town

Beide Burger waren eher trocken und Fleisch war so lala. Pommes gut! Scotch Egg war ok, aber nicht besonders. Im Prinzip ein nettes Restaurant mit durchschnittlichem Essen.

This was a perfect spot for a delicious lunch. Quiet, unpretentious, and everything we had to eat was very tasty and fresh.

Wir haben das kleine Restaurant zufällig entdeckt und spontan hier gefrühstückt. Der Salmon Bagel war sehr lecker. Es hat uns so gut geschmeckt dass wir am nächsen morgen wieder hier das selbe gefrühstückt haben. Leider geht unsere Reise weiter daher können wir nicht wieder kommen.

If the beef pie had a proper crust instead of a puff pastry lid, it would be one of the best of all time. The fish and chips was very average though: frozen chips and tasteless fish.

My friend and I lunch every week in Oban and have on many occasions walked past this unassuming restaurant. In fact thought it was just a 'carry out'. Today we went in as we were parked outside. Everything was PERFECTION. Food ,service and price. Good size portions. We will be regulars from now on.

La salade de crevettes inscrite sur le tableau mis à l’extérieur n’était pas dispo et la propriétaire ne savait même pas de quoi je parlais… La salade classique de crevettes avec sauce RoseMary est insipide ! Il est noté langoustine mais il s’agit de petit crevette Bref, je déconseille ce spot

Quality of food is nice and tasty, although quite a limited menu. Staff were so lovely and attentive. Was recommended to come here when in oban!🤗

So glad that we saw the sign and walked up the side street. Fantastic place for a great breakfast and wonderful value. All the staff were very friendly. We had a Scottish Stack - toasted crumpet, haggis, black pudding, poached egg and rocket! Really fab. We can’t wait to go back sometime for an evening meal which looked like great value too.

Probably the most affordable and fresh fry up I’ve encountered in the past year. It’s a tiny place, so I’d recommend a reservation if you’re going in peak times, but well worth the visit.

Wunderful seefood and loverly staff. We realy enjoyed the food and the Pinot Grego. My dawter enjoyed the fish nets and there was a hot American lady.

Fantastic place! Fresh and local (but the avocado ;) ) ingredients good bread (also acceptable if you are from Germany ) a nice variation of different teas! We’ve been here for breakfast and the lunch/dinner menu looks fantastic as well

Great local food, cooked to order. Fresh and delicious. The burger and scotch egg were amazing, juicy and were well needed on a damp Oban day. Great service too, with a smile, nothing was an issue.

A small family restaurant 6 tables, on a side street, my wife and I are vegetarians, we found this lovely restaurant, the owner is charming and cordial and prepared us special dishes that are adapted to us, with a lot of patience and most importantly very tasty.

Hübsches kleines Café/ Restaurant in einer Seitenstraße im Zentrum von Oban. Die Burger waren sehr lecker, sowohl die Fleisch- als auch die vegetarische Variante! Auch die Ofenkartoffel ist empfehlenswert. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich und es herrscht eine nette und entspannte Atmosphäre. Es gibt nur wenige Sitzplätze. Es können auch Gerichte für außer Haus bestellt werden.

We had a lovely meal here, not fancy, just good food well cooked, and the staff were so nice, thank you.

Delicious scottish egg, balanced with a fresh salad. Lamb was ok, veggies were meh at best, definitely overpriced. Rhubarb crumble was not food? too sour with a weird texture, do not recommend.

We had great expectations of wonderful local sourced and prepared food. Sadly, burger burnt, little taste. Tables not wiped or cleaned. Tables reset, after customer's left, plates removed. Cutlery replaced, but tables not cleaned! So hygiene??

Small, but friendly, helpful, and great food.

Got the catch of the day. Was prepared perfectly. The salad had a great blend of flavors and the service was fast and friendly.

Small cafe has extensive menus and cakes, nice bit of background music and just of the main area in Oban. Only had a cup of tea my friend had a cake, good prices friendly staff.

Reasonable gem in an otherwise saturated tourist trap spot. Great coffee and even got a seat outside in the sun. Would recommend a stop here. Worth getting off the high st for sure

Can't say much about the food as we only had a beer on a hot day, but very cute small atmosphere with a great breeze. Small assortment of baked goods, and a surprisingly large bar selection for such a small space.

Excellent food and friendly staff

Food was good. Ideal if you want something basic and inexpensive if a little run of the mill. Service was friendly. Would return if looking for something cheap and easy.

I was SUPER excited to try Taste of Argryll. We have had some AMAZING Highland beef and venison burgers on our holiday but this stop was just so-so. We all ordered a Highland burger and were underwhelmed by the quality of the beef. Their patty to bun ratio was very off with tons of bread leftover. I strategically positioned my patty on the bun and had nearly half a bun of bread without meat. However, the beef lasagna was delicious and the garlic mushroom starter were the runaway HIT of the meal. I nearly ordered some to bring home.

A cracking wee place for a lovely meal. The great majority of ingredients are locally sourced, and so tasty. A lovely welcome from the staff, and brilliant service. So good, we were straight back the following morning for breakfast

Great locla food, pet friendly, nice staff, delicious tea

I arrived just before opening time - not a problem to the staff. Didn't have to wait too long for what I consider the best breakfast in Oban. All high quality items - will be back again next visit.

Only had a scone and coffee. Scone was on the small side and not the freshest. Coffee nice. Young lady waitress was lovely.

Lovely little cafe, busy so it must be doing something right 😉. A wonderful find we will visit again.

Highly recommend for their locally sourced food, all their food made on their premises, unpretentious and very friendly staff, we are going back there for breakfast too.

Amazing staff, amazing locally sourced food, can’t get a better breakfast anywhere. Would recommend if your wanting to try something new

Saw the A board at the end of Argyle St. saying dog friendly so went to look for a breakfast. Menu was very good and husband had Crofters breakfast, beautiful meat from their own farm, very high quality. Coffee was lovely and went well with...

This was an amazing little find in Oban as we were heading back to the car. Dog friendly and welcoming and such a warm welcome from the front of house staff as well, checking we were okay. Looks a little like a cafe but don't let that put you off, everything was absolutely delicious and perfectly cooked. I loved the use of local produce and it was well worth it. Seems popular, a family had to be turned away at lunchtime!

The place is tiny but the ambience is good. The food is very nice, I have ordered prawn Chinese curry and it was superb! Definitely recommend here if you're in oban.

Went for breakfast and what a delicious treat. The food was freshly cooked to order and the pork sausage was the tastiest I have had for years. I was told by the owner that everything is locally sourced and most of the produce comes from...

Excellent food and service, great experience.

Great spot in Oban for cooked breakfast.

A little gem of a place tucked into Argyll Street in Oban. Locally sourced pork from their own farm makes for thee best fry up sausages ever! Can't wait to come back.

Whilst out and about in Oban I got extremely hangry! We had a long drive back to dumfries and need a good meal. We went to a place and walked out, then seen taste or argyll kitchen on reviews, so glad we walked in! Greeted...

A side street star Absolutely fantastic food and service from a lovely local business. Definitely worth a visit when in oban

10/10. Absolutely gorgeous and we'll definitely be back! Great food and service!

Good service, amazing food and plenty of choice.
