The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Quirky and full of history! This meal was fabulous and it was a lovely place to have a special family meal. The food was clearly homemade, fresh, and local produce used. We can recommend the seafood hot platter- wow!! Situated in a beautiful old house at the far side of the harbour with fabulous views over the loch. Take some time to read the history of the house, and the documents available in the entrance hall. Very interesting!

Beautiful restaurant with large windows and a view to the sea and Jura. Great music, art on the walls, lovely decor. Really delicious food. Great service. It was a high standard but relaxed and welcoming. Ideal restaurant, would love to go again. Breakfast is also amazing.

Just finished a fantastic meal delivered to the Anchor Tavern. Great food huge portions great value. Well done Sea Dragon.

As soon as the food came the aroma was just great. We finished all the finger licking yummy food. Excellent food. Will recommend.

Outstanding burger and fries made with real potatoes! No wonder there always a queue. Great cakes. Order at the horse box and find a table. The service is pretty speedy.

I stayed at this hotel with 2 other friends on the 21st September. The food was excellent. The staff couldn't do enough for us. We had a lovely seaview room which was fab as the sun was shinning all weekend.

Had to wait about 20 minutes (because they had a BIG order (and no wonder)) but it was worth it - the best fish and chips ever. Crisp batter, fresh fish, chips cooked to perfection.

Was only here to attend a private function. Nice bar and seating area. Could see a projector and a pull down screen so maybe get some sports on show at other times.

Many thanks to Mark who continues to be an outstanding member of the team here Nothing too much trouble Courteous professional and without doubt the most proficient staff member here Others seem switched off at times and not sure of products they are selling Perhaps Mark could do some training with them

Wow... we have been visiting here for over eight years, and we can't believe the impressive change this year, last year we thought it had improved from years earlier but this year it has taken a huge leap in to (my opinion) a 5⭐️ establishment. The food is freshly prepared by a very creative chef, the best Cullen Skink we've ever tasted (and we've visited Cullen, and even they couldn't cook it as good as the Lorne). We are huge seafood fans, so we also had to sample the mussels and seafood platter. The portions are plentiful, but we were overwhelmed by the quality of the food. We visited several times during our stay this week and we have not been disappointed My husband also had the steak one time and it was delicious (the melting in your mouth type of meat) The staff are very welcoming and attentive even during busy times. In our opinion this is the best place to eat in Oban.

Great place to dine and beautiful setting looking over the loch

A bit tired, but nice helpful staff. Food wasn't so good for us. Very cramped and limited parking.

Stayed two nights on the holiday park in our caravan. We ate at the restaurant both nights and loved the food, the hospitality and the general welcome of the bar and staff. Dale as hostess is fantastic and goes the extra length to look after customers. The food was great - good selection, well cooked and presented. Will def be back in the caravan and in the restaurant/bar for food and drinks

The hotel is an experience. The food is wonderful the beds comfortable and the cosy. Great place to stay for visits to the island. Looking forward to a visit in the summer. PLEASE finish the residents lounge.

Charming hotel with great views. Emma who looked after the hotel was helpful and friendly . The food was good and prepared to order. The hotel was quiet due to it being February re tourists.No locals came into the bar which is a pity as it’s always nice to hear from people who actually live there so this should be encouraged somehow. Decor could do with upgrading .
