Oban, Fish & Seafood Restaurant Guide

“An incredible find” for seafood lovers – a modern, glass-fronted pierside outfit with views across the waters from which the menu is sourced. Run by the MacLeod family for more than 25 years, it is “exceptionally good and very busy” – the sort of place you “have to keep on going back to”.

“The best view in the world” – over Loch Linnhe and the island of Lismore – elevate a visit to this “lovely” hotel-restaurant in the “fantastic setting” of an ex-piermaster’s house. “Seafood is king here”, with “generous platters of local produce” amongst the “simple and brilliant” offering (none of which will dent your wallet as much as a trip to its famed Skye sibling, the Three Chimneys).

2023 Review: “Lovely small restaurant” in an old bank building that’s carved a niche for itself over the past two decades with “great cooking” that makes good use of Argyll’s “local and seasonal produce” – with seafood, meat and game all featured. Chef-patron Richard Fowler and his wife Nicola are “lovely people” and offer “great service” – “we dropped in for an impromptu lunch and it massively exceeded our expectations”. It’s “good value too”.
