The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

We had dinner two times and were pleased by the kindness of the staff each time. They do their utmost to give you a nice evening. Sea food is just as it should be fresh and simply dressed but delicious, and with a nice bottle of wine, youre dinner is top. Good value for money and pre booking is certainly advised !

Highly recommended! Fantastic seafood, superfriendly staff, the oysters ar huge, scallops superb, langostines the best I had and the servings of the mussels are enormous. If I lived in Oban this would be my lunchhut 👍

Service was amazing food excellent plates warm the staff cannot do enough for you this is our go to place when we visit Helensburgh and 4 th visit this year

This has got to be THE best chippie I have come across in Scotland. When staying in Oban for 4 nights, myself and hubby were looking for a quick bite to eat, we came across this fantastic chippie by chance. We both had regular fish suppers on our first visit. Fresh fish, nice light crispy batter and the portion of chips that came with the supper was big enough to feed two people. Chips were tasty especially dipped in their own made tartare sauce. Our second visit was macaroni and cheese with chips. Oh my actual god, this is the best Mac n cheese (apart from my hubby’s ) I have tasted from a fast food shop. I can’t big this chippie up enough. If you’re partial to even a wee poke o’ chips, get yourself to this chippie - it is the business ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I loved this traditional pub. Make sure you nip in for some Haggis and a pint of local ale (or scotch). Downstairs dog friendly, but not upstairs. Outside sitting with a view

Amazing staff and food! Location super cozy.

Always a fabulous stop, but today an amazing Christmas Menu👍 Everything we tried, mains and desserts was fabulous - even got mulled wine and crackers - nice touch 😂

Not much else to see in this wet cloudy deserted wilderness, but at least there was a toilet available.

We were passing through Inveraray and thought we’d stop off for a bit of lunch…. And thank our lucky stars we came across Brambles. As soon as we walked through the door, the vibe was lovely, friendly and attentive. We popped ourselves down, looked at the menu and all the home baking. Homemade sausage roll, Victoria Sponge and fruit scone ordered. OMG absolute delicious My wife said the scone was the best ever, the very best ever. light, tasty, fruity. The Victoria sponge was light, tasty and so moreish and the sausage roll… WOW yummy. It was such a wonderful experience from the food and drink to the atmosphere, happy worked and Heather was just so kind and helpful. If you passing, don’t pass this place and if you’re not passing, make a detour to Brambles of Inveraray, you won’t be disappointed, believe me AAA+++

Nice place with a refined but friendly feel. Food to a high standard and good portions, unexpectedly affordable too in comparison with just about anywhere we'd ever eaten. Recommended. Update, should have said before. Wife had absolutely chronic shits around 20 minutes after leaving. Shocking.

We have eaten here before and it was really really good, I think it has now changed hands and found it a bit different. Menu choices was more limited than we hoped, prices are higher and service just wasn’t as friendly or attentive. Friday night booking and place was half full. At the end of the meal I asked for coffee and was told the machine had just been cleaned, so no coffee. That was disappointing after spending so much as a group

Come to annaya all the time alway amazing food and top notch service all the staff are so friendly also we nipped into the take away for some delicious ice cream and again met with the nicest staff always a pleasure. Alway all great with the kids they love coming out. Definitely 5star and worth every penny can't recommend this place enough.

Disappointed. Friday night on a bank holiday weekend, arrived at 8pm and asked for a table for 2. Restaurant still had more than 50% of customers but we were told kitchen was closed. Clearly couldn't be bothered. I'd never return based on that lack of customer care.

We came to Tobermory on a very wet day on an organised tour. We were looking for somewhere to get a hot drink. Everywhere was full due to the weather. After a walk around we noticed a table was now vacant and my husband sat down. I went to the counter to order a cappuccino and a hot chocolate where it was chaotic. No hello or greeting just told how much they wanted from me. My hot chocolate was very lumpy with powdery bits all at the bottom of the cup. I paid cash and was given no receipt. Dreary interior. Left feeling like a nuisance and when saying goodbye no response. My husband and I got the same treatment from other places in Tobermory and other people we were with said this place doesn’t like tourists. Well fair enough we will never ever visit again. Good luck just serve the locals and don’t dare be polite as looking at reviews you get a robust response.

Friendly staff and great location! And the food...... Delicious! We had lobster, cheese and desserts, and everything was marvelous. Don't miss the smoked potatoes! Would love it every day!
