The best restaurants serving Scottish food in Oban North and Lorn Argyll & Bute Central Scotland

The best meal I’ve ever eaten. Absolutely outstanding. We went here whilst on holiday to celebrate my partners birthday. We wanted a special meal and wow did we get it. The restaurant is beautiful and intimate and right in the heart of Oban so very easy to walk to. Sitting at the chefs table watching him cook and hearing about how he sourced ingredients and about the local area was lovely. The food was indescribable it was simply stunning. We are still talking about the venison and scallops a week later. If you want something a little bit different and special this is it. We will definitely be back.

We popped into Poppies on our way home and were pleasantly surprised! We ordered a small and large Scottish breakfast, almond milk porridge, and some coffees — everything was absolutely delicious. Big compliments to the chef! The five female staff members were incredibly friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Our children treated themselves to the meringue and strawberry Swiss roll, and they loved it. Everything tasted super fresh and homemade. Unfortunately, we did notice one of the male staff members wiping his nose with his fingers before handing out cutlery, which was quite off-putting. My wife mentioned it to the manager, who took the complaint seriously and dealt with it professionally and efficiently. Despite that one issue, our overall experience was superb. Excellent food, warm service, and a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Value for money with sitin as an option. Jumbo sausage is two big sausages and loads of chips too.

Pulled in as fancied a drink, and really glad we did! View of castle spectacular and the place itself was just so lovely! Had a coffee, hot chocolate and some cake, was so relaxed and welcoming, and loved the music. Could have literally sat in there for hours just looking out the window. If you are in the area please go in!
