The best restaurants serving Scottish food in 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.

Superb! Delicious freshly cooked food and a warm welcome from the hosts. Excellent choice of locally sourced meals with lovely vegetarian options. Thoroughly enjoyed every course.

Amazing food and atmosphere. The manager, Edwin came to our table to check on everything. and was so nice and genuine. Brandon, our waiter was attentive and very personable. The food exceeded our expectations! We only had about a 15 minute wait and trust me ...it's worth any wait that you have!

Great fish and chips but expensive

What a find ! Cracking local produce and gifts that would challenge Next and a wonderful array of cakes with great selection of coffees. We had super salmon selection scones to celebrate my partner's birthday 🎊 Garden centre had range of plants and compost , planters which I'll be back for ! Making Poppies a regular - fab first visit !

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!

Great breakfast, good choice (even for vegetarians/vegans) and friendly helpful staff. Thoroughly enjoyed our breakfast - next time we might even try the breakfast cocktail …

Food was delicious, kids even had empty plates. Staff were great couldn’t be more helpful. Great atmosphere, fab music, we will defo be back

Popped in for a bite to eat. Spotted the langoustines on the menu and had to have them. The food was excellent and the staff were very attentive.

the names changed CAFE BELLA firstly we should of walked straight a way the customers were looking glum. then we realised most were waiting a long time for meals. we sat down to order and found that the waiter told us every thing was off the menu except over priced fish and chips he hassled us to order quickly and ran around at high speed .after getting our food there was a hurry get our money and leave..he cleared the table whilst we were still drinking our teas and coffee. he was also very rude to other customers beacause they wanted to see a menu ..A WARNING TO FUTURE CUSTOMERS >>>>STAY AWAY>>>>

Went for lunch but they were only serving coffee and cake, which we tried. Coffee was awful and cake was worse. Really disappointing as we had been looking forward to going there.

Sticky dirty tables, ‘wiped’ with a filthy cloth when asked to clean, tables not cleared, staff seem completely disinterested in their roles, toilets awful. The whole place needs a deep clean and staff trained…so much lost potential for what could be a lovely cafe in a tourist area.
