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

An amazing cafe with amazing food and staff, our go to place for lunch, can't recommend enough. The food is super and made with local ingredients, homemade baking and ice cream is second to none. Be sure to visit and even if your not staying on Lismore the ferry trip from Oban is worth it.

Good grief ...... not one member of staff cracked one smile. Rude, belligerent, unhelpful. Cracking eggs is an art, so is cracking a smile ... work elsewhere ladies as you are clearly not happy in your work. Food .. mediocre.

Lovely place to eat / drink. Friendly staff. Food is delicious

We ate at this restaurant but were not staying at the hotel. Location is very good. Menu broad. Starter which was a selection of various type of local fish was very good. For main I had burger which was a bit disappointing. My partner really liked her chicken and lentils. Atmosphere in the restaurant was a bit dead, it missed something, maybe light music I rated a 4, but on the lower end

What an absolute find. This place was amazing in every way. The staff are welcoming, friendly and so attentive. The food was out of this world. Would definitely recommend 100% and will be back. Just wish we had found it at the start of our holiday and not at the end

Located just by the ferry this is a great cafe. I recommend the Cullen Skink ( smoked haddock soup), really good. Friendly service too and good value.

Really fantastic first visit with the family for dinner. The seafood platter was superb! Great views of the runaway and private planes landing and taking off. The children were thrilled and highly entertained. Great service. We are already planning our return before we sadly leave.

The website advertises all day food which is not the case - kitchen closes between 2 and 5. No matter we had English tapas instead, crisps! Super friendly staff - bet it’s a very cosy spot on a winter’s evening with its wood burning stove. We would make a point of going again. Barman was playing some brilliant music -electric folk - he was very knowledgeable. Sorry I forgot to ask your name but thank you for educating me about Runrig!

We had excelelnt coffee while waiting for the ferry. Very friendly and helpful staff working quickly to supply filled rolls and beverages.

Was expecting great quality fresh food . But very disappointed . Looking forward to local mussels but off the menu . Scallops were fresh but the sauce let it down and the bread was stale and expensive . Both in the end had fish and chips , that was two very small pieces of fish each , couldn't hardly see any fish , most likely frozen due to the texture and appearance . Staff were excellent and beer was good

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!

I use this cafe in tesco everytime I visit Oban. They do a great breakfast and good coffee. What makes this a good place is the staff, alwsys friendly and quick to serve even when busy.

Excellent meal well presented very friendly staff and good atmosphere we had the Sunday roast veggie option cooked to perfection would not hesitate to recommend

We were in the Craignure area and looking for a hot drink and cakes. There was a large queue early on, but we called back later and got served easily. We sat outside which gets a great view of the ferry terminal, though it's worth beng aware that there is limited seating inside and outside, so if the queue looks big it may be difficult to get a seat. The coffee and cakes were lovely. My only small criticism is that I wasn't offered a tray to carry my order on, and because we were sitting outside, it was quite awkward to carry everything. This should have been plain to see to the woman serving me, but instead another customer offered me help. I appreciate that only counter service is offered, but this did suggest that hospitality and service were perhaps lacking and is why I never left a tip on the day.
