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

The road between Ulva Ferry and Calgary is beautiful and half way you will find Croft 3 . We had a surprisingly good dinner in this special place in nature . Very nice service . The whole setting is warm and special !

Cafe with quick service and simple food.

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.

Harbour view from the balcony to the famous colorful house line. Great food and Service. Oysters are amazing.

The view is outstanding! ...and the hotel and restaurant are certainly (and rightly) the best in town. We only visited the restaurant and the lounges. Unfortunately, the food and service didn't impress me: the menu is interesting and varied, the meal (spiced couscous with fish) was tasty, but unfortunately greasier than necessary. The service seemed a bit helpless and insecure. The ambiance is certainly beautiful thanks to the great view, but the decor is quite simple. I would still recommend a lunch visit to the Western Isles Conservatory to everyone.

Recommended for friends, family and work stopover. Comfortable with good food and best of all very quiet. We are a group of pilots who landed our small aircraft on the Air strip at the front of the hotel and were treated very well by the proprietor and his staff. Thank you for a lovely visit.

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.

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!

Lovely little gem of a cafe/bar. So many quaint things on display. Lovely atmosphere and lovely, attentive staff. We had a hot pie and it was delicious. Will definitely come back, thank you 😁

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.

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!

On arriving and seeing the McD-style ordering screens we weren't too hopeful. But the options were good and the process straightforward, just enter table number per the markers next to the screen and take it with you to a spare table. Hot drinks came quickly, and food not much longer. We just had breakfast/brunch. Staff are excellent; constantly clearing tables and wiping them down for the next occupants.

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.
