The best restaurants in Oban North and Lorn Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

A fantastic blend of old meets new. My wife and I had a meal at this brilliant pub last night, and I can honestly say it was the nicest meal we had whilst in Scotland. My wife had the duck, which was cooked to perfection and melted in your mouth. For dessert, she had creme brule, which is normally her go-to dessert when we're out. When she'd finished, her comment was, "That was the best creme brule I've ever tasted!" I had the muscles as a starter. I'd never had muscles before and thought give them ago. I can't say I have anything to compare them to, but I thoroughly enjoyed them. My main was the venison pie with vegetables. Again, excellent. My only slight criticism would have been that the pie crust could have done with being slightly thicker. It disappeared quite quickly once I'd gotten to the gravy. My dessert was the rhubarb crumble with custard. Beautiful! The rhubarb was just tangy enough to get a good taste, but not so much that it was overpowering. Don't tell my Grandma, but it was better than hers! Friendly staff with a nice real fire to add to the cozy atmosphere. On the drinks front, maybe think about adding a non alcoholic cider. Given the location, driving to it was our only option from where we were unfortunately staying. Avoid a certain hotel on Loch Awe offering seemingly good deals at game fairs! There's a reason it's cheaper. However, to sum up The Kilcrenan Inn...Fantastic. For one three course meal, one 2 course meal, a glass of rose and a pint of orange juice and lemonade, it came to around £76. I thought this was pretty reasonable considering the great quality food. Well done. 👏👏👏

We came across Robin's Nest by chance and were greeted in a warm friendly manner. I am on a Dairy Free Diet and the menu catered for all my needs. When we ordered coffee we were given an alternative choice of milks. The cakes were home made and delicious. I would highly. recommend this tea room

The best meal I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely outstanding. We went here whilst on holiday to celebrate my partners birthday. We wanted a special meal and wow did we get it. The restaurant is beautiful and intimate and right in the heart of Oban so very easy to walk to. Sitting at the chefs table watching him cook and hearing about how he sourced ingredients and about the local area was lovely. The food was indescribable it was simply stunning. We are still talking about the venison and scallops a week later. If you want something a little bit different and special this is it. We will definitely be back.

Truly excellent thank you so much! We are a family of 4 so bought a selection of dishes. All great :) The lady serving was very chatty and friendly, assisting us with flavours. A gem of a place for a rural place like this. Enjoy!

Very friendly, welcoming spot. Run by volunteers in the community. Fantastic views of Loch Awe from the terrace at the back!

Found this cafe by accident and so glad we did. Beautifully clean, smart and modern - you may eat inside or out. As well as light lunches, they do some serious food and there is a really good choice. I had a cumberland sausage and onion baguette; very generous with the filling and good quality sausage. With it came five different salads; the carrot and sunflower one had a particularly delicious dressing. My husband had a ham and cheese baguette and he was equally enthusiastic. Highly recommended.

Fabulous cakes and the best shortbread ever all made by local ladies in their own homes. Highly recommend

Hidden gem. Lovely food. Friendly staff. Pleasant walk just near this place. We had homemade lunch followed by delicious cakes and coffee. There is also a little shop in the cafe which had some nice local goods in.

Phils takeaway frozen curries are excellent, and Phil himself really accommodating. We were staying locally in self catering accommodation and had a curry on our last might - wish we had done it sooner, and we would have had two!

First class- beautiful setting, food excellent and staff friendly and helpful. Looking forward to our next visit. Heather and Jimmy Fort Augustus

got served by a new very friendly highly skilled waitress Iona. very personable and a credit to the establishment she lifted the standard of the evening.

We celebrated my wife's birthday here, and it was a fantastic experience. The food was absolutely delicious - the steak was the best I've had in ages. The restaurant is beautifully decorated, and the cocktails were excellent. We’d happily return and might even consider staying at the hotel next time!

Read about this shop before coming on holiday. What can I say; we were not disappointed. We bought 2 Currys (mutton bhuna and chicken jalfresi) and some bhajis which we cooked from frozen and they were all very tasty.

Really lovely staff and great food.

The chocolate is delicious, but a portion like this costs £7.95. Tourists’ money is really good, thank you🙄
