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

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 😋

Popped in here for some bottles of water and ended-up getting a treat for the dogs and a can of local soft drink too (Paisley Drinks Co.). The shop / cafe seemed pleasant enough and the staff were welcoming but I couldn't comment on anything past that as I was simply a passing customer and didn't stay / sit-in for food. I had a quick browse at the fridges and noted the meats and fresh foods to be local (smoked salmon, milk etc) which would be a dream to a local, and someone who liked fish. I do have to comment that two of the three items I bought were actually from over 300 miles away (water from Wales, dog treat from Reddish, England). A nice wee shop that I will visit again but I will be checking what I buy next time. *I've rated food 3 stars purely because I didn't have any so it must be a neutral rating.

An absolute gem of a restaurant. The food was fantastic, in a really nice relaxed and friendly environment. Our dog was also allowed in and made to feel welcome. Highly recommend this bistro if you’re looking for somewhere for lunch or dinner. Worth noting that google maps had the incorrect opening hours, luckily we checked their website which showed it was open for that evening!

Wow what an incredible dining experience on Mull, every single course of the tasting was incredible and the 2 front of house ladies are super knowledgable and the food and wine - thank you to Ross and his lively team for making our anniversary meal very special indeed

This is a new addition to the eating options in Tobermory - and will completely put it on the map as not only’ vaut le detour’, Michelin style, but as a destination in its own right . I had the tasting menu, my partner the a la carte ( so first, no nonsense about the whole table has to have the tasting menu)- the venue is bright, the welcome warm and informative, and the food - some of the best I’ve ever had. The langoustine and halibut courses were absolutely delicious whilst the scallops - with fennel oil and white chocolate sauce, amongst other flavours- the best I’ve ever had. Totally brilliant. Sauces for all the meat and fish , absolutely imaginative, some unusual, and worked! Wine choices delicious, atmosphere ‘ local’- tables talking to each other! ‘ and welcoming - ‘ walk ins’ were warmly greeted. All in all - an experience. And again - the food - superb. I didn’t take any photos but someone will….. we’ll done, and I wish you all the success you strongly deserve!

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.

A delicious lunch in a beautiful spot. The bread was freshly home baked and the cheese was served with a very tasty homemade pickle and a chutney.

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!

When visiting Oban for a day out with Lochs & Glens holidays we always head to Roxys for a pot of tea & a yummy cake. We were not disappointed this time. Lovely friendly staff & excellent service. We got there early & by the time we left there was a queue forming for a table, which shows how popular it is.

We'd visited the cheese farm and saw that the milk from their herd was also used to make the ice cream here. Great location on the bay, and a good choice of flavours which tasted really nice. Pleasant to chat to the server about the products

Amazing food, beautiful setting and fantastic service. Gluten free as vegan options available. Highly recommend!!!

Very good toastie. But limited choice as all that was on the menu were toasties. We asked for glasses for our drinks and got told they had run out of glasses even though there was 6 other people in the cafe. Would recommend though for a light lunch.

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

I remembered that I've had so much food that was definitely enough for at least 5 people. really fresh and sweet seafood!

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