The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Oban South and the Isles Argyll & Bute 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.

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!

This was a really special last night to a beautiful stay in Mull, we feel like we found a secret in this wonderful place and lucky to have got a table Recommended to us on a boat trip the food was simply divine, complex and reminiscent of past lost tastes. Leave yourself in the trusted hands and go for the selected wine choices. You could taste the enthusiasm and love that went into the preparation. We will be back. Thank you.

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

Great staff and great food. Would highly recommend. Always doing different food nights. Always tasty. Great for locals and visitors

This was restaurant hits very high standards despite the lack of space in the kitchen. We were wowed by all of the food with the scallops, smoked haddock and turbot all getting our awards for best of our week in Tobermory.

Battered scallops, calamari and a crab sandwich. All delicious. Turned a soggy day into a treat. I love seafood but this place is really special and I would recommend a detour to visit.

Best fish n chips in town - we quite literally tried all 3 major establishments in Oban, and went back here again!

Idéalement situé à côté des quais d'où commencent les wildlife tours, pratique pour manger chaud après tout ce froid sur le bateau. Personnel +/- sympathique et efficace. Premier "fish & chips" que je goûte et franchement, super bon ! On sent que le poisson est frais et la friture n'est pas aussi lourde que celles que j'ai connues jusqu'ici. Frites bonnes, RAS. Sauce tartare se marie bien avec le plat. Chocolat chaud un peu petit mais correct. Tarifs un peu élevés, mais vu qu'est en zone touristique et en plus, ouvert en continu jusqu'à 21h (heure locale), c'est compréhensible !

Fish n chips ottimo e croccante, patatine perfette. Prezzo buono, peccato per la pioggia incessante del giorno che ci siamo fermati che ci ha costretto a mangiare in macchina

The Mish is a Tobermory institution and deservedly so. Its Mishdish restaurant is warm and homey, with a reasonably priced menu whose componentsare mostly sourced locally. We had a lovely evening there over a bottle of wine and excellent and generous servings of seafood and veggie specialities. For starters we had oysters, haggis bites, and a vegetable tartlet, followed by mains of langoustines, hake and a wild mushroom bourgignon with celeriac mash. Everything was served with courtesy and care for the customer. We will surely be back.

Nice view. Visited last summer and still feel a bit gross if I think too much of our meal there. Not great and service was miserable.
