The best restaurants in Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

Very convenient walk from the marina and we came here 3 times over the course of a week or so, whilst sailing from Oban. Nothing fancy, but good piping hot food in the upper bar. Downstairs on a Thursday, local bands play which are very popular. Met loads of tourists and had some very interesting conversations!

Stayed one night DBB. Restaurant clean, nice and relaxing. Ordered ham hock for starters which was excellent choice, enjoyed very much. Main course ordered the duck, again delicious Dessert just couldn’t resist ordering apple and toffee crumble which did not disappoint, excellent choice again. Enjoyed every course. The waitress and waiters on the night (Sunday) were fantastic. Breakfast was plenty full and excellent choice, ordered the full Scottish and couldn’t fault it perfect. Again staff fantastic. We stayed1 night with the DBB deal and it is fantastic will definitely be back to stay.

Nice old hotel in oban, clean, friendly staff, nice bar and restaurant in the hotel. Have stayed here many times when working in oban. Clean rooms but old and in the winter can be cold at night, some rooms allow noise from the main road. But overall a good hotel, nice breakfast and main meals. Pricing of rooms is OK aswell, have stayed before will stay again , on next work trip

Visited with 2 friends. Best loaded tattie and cakes worthy of a visit

We decided to have dinner here as we had eaten here before a few years ago and it was good. However this time was not good. We asked if they had a table and they sat us by the window, the restaurant was not busy at all, there were plenty empty tables. When our food came out it looked ok but on tasting it, it was very bland, totally lacking in flavour and the chicken in my jalfrezi was possibly the worse meat I had tasted, I practically left it all. My husband said that his was just as bad. The best thing about the meal was the nan bread. If that wasn’t bad enough, one of the staff then came over and said ‘If you could leave once you finish your drinks, we need the table’ How rude! As I said the place was practically empty and we hadn’t asked to be seated there. This place has went right down hill since our last visit, it looks tatty and tired and in need of a refurb. We will not be back.

It was lovely... Personal was helpful and nice

Although quite nice to sit and have a coffee, each time I have been in over the past two months, the toilets are stinking and almost unusable, there needs to be checks done, or something put in place to prevent this problems for costumers throughout the day surely they get done at the beginning and end of each shift!

Lovely place for a pitstop, I had a cream tea, which was so nice. The scone was slightly warm, which made it feel fresh from the oven and was light and fluffy.

Sometimes you need to be exceptional to stamp your mark in a small town and despite it being a cold october night the taj mahal was fairly busy. A few tables plus takeaways were keeping staff busy. A friendly welcome was followed by a quick service. A nice mahkani masala with rice and mixed pakora were appreciated!!

What an earth has happened to this restaurant. 45 mins for first drink then half a bowl of soup, 2 little slices garlic bread £3.95. Main meal 1 was missed other one went back because of allergy which waiter was told of kitchen then scraped sauce off which was useless when it came back other meal was stone cold. In total over 2 hours for a restaurant half empty manager was told said he was "new" which he told us 6 weeks ago when our meal was an even worse disaster. Thought we would give them a chance whoever chef is needs replaced such a shame was a great place at one time heard loads of complaints from other people definitely wont be back

The service was the worse thing at this hotel. From reception to bar, to restaurant, breakfast and all. Everyone took too long, service so poor and they kept pushing us to the bar for meals even though there were plenty of tables in the restaurant. Never seen worse service in the hotel

Good coffee, great staff, perfect spot.

Food was tasteless,service slow

Lovely wee place with a nice atmosphere. Food was lovely! We had mushroom soup for starter, then a delicious meat pizza with carbonara, which was so tasty. Staff very attentive. We will be back 😊

We loved our fish & chip meal here. The staff were fantastic...sadly this pub CLOSES indefinitely from Saturday 28th September.
