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

Sin duda calidad precio muy buena. Marisco de calidad cocinado al momento y a buen precio. Nosotros pedimos los mejillones al vino blanco, gambas que eran cigalas com mantequilla y vieyras con mantequilla.

I booked with slight trepidation after reading some mixed reviews. Staying at Fionnphort or 2 nights with my wife to visit Iona & Staffa and as the trip coincided with my wife's birthday I booked the Ninth Wave as a treat. We both eat out regularly in Scotland and abroad and have been lucky enough to visit some Michelin starred places over the years. The service at Ninth Wave was slightly quirky but very pleasant and the dining room small but very relaxed. The quality of food served was beyond expectations and on a par with some Michelin starred establishments. The format is akin to a tasting menu with 3 or 4 smaller plates (#4 is dessert), cheese as an optional extra and coffee / petit fours included. We shared a decent bottle of white from an interesting list. I had scallops and wood pigeon while my wife had the mackerel and crab stuffed courgette blossom. We both chose the half lobster "main" course. the Pigeon was slightly tough but otherwise the food was faultless. The lobster was exceptional and so refreshing to see it on a menu without the usual pricing supplement. Fabulous evening - thank you Carla and John. We will visit again one day.

Although closed for the season, the Galleon Bistro reopened for just the one night of Hogmanay, with a special 6-course menu. The food on offer was good, but not ‘really special’. The main negative was that the portion sizes were simply too large, given that the food was quite rich, so we managed only one bottle of wine. This all meant that we left feeling a bit bloated and not quite sure if we could survive the ceilidh down the street! The meat eaters began with an amuse-bouche of grilled breaded brie, smoked fish pate and pigs in blanket, with a huge slice of chicken-liver parfait as starter, a celeriac soup ‘entremet’, a delicious main course of dry-aged beef with various sides, and a rich chocolate mousse infused with Baileys as dessert. All followed by petit fours of tablet, chocolate fudge and shortbread rounds, with tea and coffee. The Galleon also provided a vegetarian alternative with the same soup, dessert and petit fours, but a different starter, (pasta) main course and amuse-bouche. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting and the price, though steep, was reasonable. However, the invitation to add on extra at one’s discretion for service is really unwarranted for a small, family-run establishment and felt to us antiquated and even a bit embarrassing.

Absolutely superb Friday supper club. Mussels were fantastic, as was the venison and rhubarb Pavlova to finish. Unbelievable.

Food was absolutely delicious, great menu options, amazing local seafood and a whole seperate Vegan menu was available for 1 member of our party that was Vegan, ate here 2 nights in a row and was very pleased with the food and the service both nights

Ate here whilst staying for 3 nights in Tobermory, and it was the best meal we ate. Filling, tasty, well cooked and presented. Recommended.

A big portion of fresh haddock and chips that was cooked to perfection Nice seating at an open fire place. Friendly owners and fast service.

Fabulous food, some of the best food we have eaten in a long time. Warm friendly welcome from the owners and relaxed dining in comfortable surroundings. Will definitely go again. Great value for the money.

Stumbled across this cafe just off the Main Street in Oban. Coffee tastes delicious and cakes were incredible. Lovely owner and great cafe!

We booked lunch for a large group in October, and Helen was fantastic at liaising with us about our menu choices. The food was delicious - fresh, tasty and beautifully presented. We enjoyed the spacious dining area and the views, and really appreciated the warm welcome of Helen and her staff. I definitely recommend eating here if you're on Mull!

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.
