The best restaurants in Oban South and the Isles Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

We were staying locally snd wanted to get a bit closer to some of the famous highland cows. We were taken on a walk though the farm firlds by the owner Jane to meet the different groups of cows including some really young ones. Jane was fascinating providing insight into the running of the farm and Highland Fold business, the farm ecosystem and the North Atlantic rainforest plus of course the star attraction highland cows themselves! We had a fabulous afternoon and would highly recommend the experience plus the barn cafe where we had coffee, delicious cake and ice cream!

Great crab sandwiches and smoked salmon sandwiches. Lobster salad is also very good value for money and very tasty. Highly recommended

We ordered 2 takeaway pizzas while staying on Iona and they were soooo good!! I actually can't write this without wanting another one (shame I'm back home). I would definitely recommend Ailidh's if you're staying on Iona and don't want to cook - why would you, with this on your doorstep?! I was going to take a photo of the pizza but I was too preoccupied eating it 🤣

Since coming to mull and subsequently moving here, the whole team of ladies have gone above and beyond to welcome us in! They all take time to have fun with my daughter, chat and have a laugh. A real caring team with the best coffee and bacon roll combo 😋

En realidad no pude visitar este establecimiento porque estaba abrazando un balde y rezando por la muerte en un hotel cercano. PERO, afortunadamente mi compañero encontró este lugar y vino a rescatarme con su cura para la resaca. 'Squeeze' me salvó la vida, y después de su batido pude retirarme del piso del baño. Tienes mi eterna gratitud.

No fuss, good value food. Been a half dozen times over the last year and never been disappointed. My go-to for a soup and a bowl of chips on the side. Good selection of local produce on the shelves too .

A brilliant menu in a brilliant restaurant would highly recommend

This was the absolute best place we stayed on our visit to Scotland! We only stayed on night, and it’s my one regret from the trip that we didn’t stay longer. The welcome and service was excellent, the room was perfect, and the breakfast service was delicious! I want to plan a trip back just to visit the accommodations again!

Great place to get morning rolls or lunch. Love the paninis. Gift shop too. Tray bakes are amazing. No indoor seating but plenty outdoor seating. Well worth a visit

We ate here two nights in a row in early August. The menu changed each night so there were new things to try. We gelt some of the food, such as the starters, were over priced for the portion (£8.50 for two small croquettes) but they were delicious. However, the slices of cake we got for pudding were easily big enough for two (the picture shows two half slices on one plate) and each only £6.50. The cakes and puddings we had were all top notch A*** (esp choc ganache) so worth coming in just for coffee and cake even if you don't have a meal. We booked in advance via WhatsApp for 6pm dinner: Wed night it was quiet but the Thursday was heaving so glad we booked. The food we had was c. £20 for a main course and was really well made and delicious. Portions aren't huge but were sufficient. There isn't a kids menu so the first night we shared two meals between the three of us and had pudding, but the second night we had a main each. The Island Cafe is cheaper than the Coll Hotel and has a nice home made, welcoming feel to it with local art and two linked rooms, one with sofas and tables and the other just tables. The serving staff were nice young people. My partner also had coffee and cake here and the cakes really are very good (I hear the Chelsea buns are to die for too) and my coffee-snob partner says this is the best coffee available on Coll.

So glad we stopped here on our drive through the area, so many amazing seafood options to try! We had the tub of mussels, delicious! Highly recommend!

Am Birlinn is a fantastic restaurant, excellent food in a relaxing atmosphere with lovely staff.

Amazing food and able to cater for gluten free. Staff great.

very nice staff, good food and chilling vibe with a view on the bay - just what sailors need after a day on the water ☺️

I really enjoyed this. It was a special lunch with my girl. Great food, super friendly service and amazing views.
