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

Gorgeous location really friendly staff and the food is sensational, fresh, seasonal and cooked to perfection

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.

We were going out with friends for a meal and we recommended Porcini. They were not disappointed. They absolutely loved it. You can usually tell how nice a place is by the cleanliness of the toilets, and this is no exception. The place is beautifully decorated and is immaculately clean. The food is fabulous and the service second to none. Definitely the best restaurant in Oban and if you like Italian, this is the place to come. We will most 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

Excellent place to eat. The best place to eat in the area. The steaks take time to cook to absolute perfection! They are well worth the wait. Lovely atmosphere with fantastic Scottish music! Would pick the old inn every time

What a little gem! Lovely curries and very helpful lady. So handy as there's not much else around. We had veg madras, a mushroom dish, Bombay potatoes, samosa and bhajis, all really lovely. Not the same as an Indian restaurant but good home cooked food and very tasty. Would recommend.

I mainly bought souvenirs from the chocolate shop. The mini chocolate mountains and chocolate fish’n’chips were a huge hit - Very fun and unique. The cafe was super cute looking. Wish I had more room in my stomach to enjoy the desserts there. EDIT: the quality of the chocolate was a quite poor. Would be better to just leave any souvenirs untouched.

Stumbled across this great restaurant while on holiday! Service was perfect, house wine was lovely, food super tasty...and for me the best thing was, even though I have a few allergies (gluten,dairy and more), it wasn't a problem as they cook to fresh and could adjust most of the dishes to suit! Really worth a visit if you are in the area! I can't thank them enough for treating me like a normal human when it came to eating even though I had a few allergies! If I lived in Oban I would be eating here all the time! Truly a great experience. Huge love to all the staff and what you are doing ❤️
