The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Central Scotland

I booked with slight trepidation after reading some mixed reviews. Staying at Fionnphort or 2 nights with my wife to visit Iona & Staffa and as the trip coincided with my wife's birthday I booked the Ninth Wave as a treat. We both eat out regularly in Scotland and abroad and have been lucky enough to visit some Michelin starred places over the years. The service at Ninth Wave was slightly quirky but very pleasant and the dining room small but very relaxed. The quality of food served was beyond expectations and on a par with some Michelin starred establishments. The format is akin to a tasting menu with 3 or 4 smaller plates (#4 is dessert), cheese as an optional extra and coffee / petit fours included. We shared a decent bottle of white from an interesting list. I had scallops and wood pigeon while my wife had the mackerel and crab stuffed courgette blossom. We both chose the half lobster "main" course. the Pigeon was slightly tough but otherwise the food was faultless. The lobster was exceptional and so refreshing to see it on a menu without the usual pricing supplement. Fabulous evening - thank you Carla and John. We will visit again one day.

Had one of the best meals ever in this fantastic refurbished restaurant. Tide and Thyme have always produced excellent food but the new styling is truly remarkable. Everything just spot on. Our meals were all perfect, zucchini fritters, scallops, lamb, sea bass, seafood linguine, everything was beautifully presented, great portions and tasted sublime. Thank you for a wonderful evening. Good luck....not that you will need it....!

Just like how a fish supper should be; no nonsense. Was so good didn’t even need sauce. Visited for dinner after hearing great things about the place and it didn’t disappoint. Super fish suppers, coleslaw, onion rings and finished off with a single nougat wafer. Our server Lyla was a delight; fully competent, smiley and polite. The place takes you back in time, even with a fryer from nineteen canteen - very special. We will most definitely be back!

Great crab sandwiches and smoked salmon sandwiches. Lobster salad is also very good value for money and very tasty. Highly recommended

Must visit restaurant - all delicious local products served in a way most Michelin * restaurants could learn from. Absolutely recommended!

This is a new addition to the eating options in Tobermory - and will completely put it on the map as not only’ vaut le detour’, Michelin style, but as a destination in its own right . I had the tasting menu, my partner the a la carte ( so first, no nonsense about the whole table has to have the tasting menu)- the venue is bright, the welcome warm and informative, and the food - some of the best I’ve ever had. The langoustine and halibut courses were absolutely delicious whilst the scallops - with fennel oil and white chocolate sauce, amongst other flavours- the best I’ve ever had. Totally brilliant. Sauces for all the meat and fish , absolutely imaginative, some unusual, and worked! Wine choices delicious, atmosphere ‘ local’- tables talking to each other! ‘ and welcoming - ‘ walk ins’ were warmly greeted. All in all - an experience. And again - the food - superb. I didn’t take any photos but someone will….. we’ll done, and I wish you all the success you strongly deserve!

Así que he empezado una pequeña mini campaña perfectamente formada para conseguir un Aldos 2 y posiblemente 3 en Benidorm y Altea! ¡Esta foto no hace justicia a la más simple “cena de salchichas” de lujo! En primer lugar hay 2 ojos regando salchichas fabulosas. 👍 En la foto no hay más que 1 , ya que le di una salchicha a una persona hambrienta sentada a mi lado en mi coche! Las fichas de aquí deberían tener una cola perfectamente formada... por kilómetros. ¿El lujoso combo de salchichas en la cena? Debería tener pegatina gratis de “I ❤️brilliant sausages” con él. Así de bien. Mejor que Elvis o George Michael en los Explorers ?? ... muy muy cerca! 😀

Great place , nice atmosphere. Staff very friendly x

Just home from an evening at the Kilberry Restaurant, very friendly welcome from David and great service from the young man who waited on our table. It’s probably been said in previous reviews so I can only add to them by saying the food is sensational in a warm cosy environment. Can’t wait to return.

Great place! Huge portions and value for money.

Loved it. Attentive staff, excellent cooking and a fantastic wine list and dessert wines. Looking forward to returning.

My 60th birthday lunch at the Dory was fabulous in every way! Every dish on the menu sounded appealing, and the food we chose was delicious. My vegan nephew was thrilled with his food. The seafood was washed down with an excellent, crisp dry Gruner Veltliner. Staff couldn't have been nicer and yet professional too, and the atmosphere was just lovely. Our dad's retired assistance dog was welcomed and loved being with us. And the perfect spring day was the icing on the cake. A wonderful celebration - many thanks, Dory Bistro team!

Whilst working in the area I went here 2 nights in a row due to the quality of food and well priced winter warmer menu.

Really enjoyed the seafood lunch. Food is very yummy and service is good.

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