Ee-usk

Ee-usk is a modern glass building sitting right by the water in the busy harbour of Oban.We believe in serving impeccably fresh local seafood cooked simply. We are unable to accommodate children under 12 years of age for dinner.

Reviewed By Megahose - Ronse, Belgium

This place is on the pier at Oban. It's modern and thankfully tartan-free. It's a seafood restaurant which sauces all its produce locally. My wife and I opted for the lobster, which was absolutely sublime: beautifully cooked and soft. My mate had one of the fish (can't remember which), and he said it too was delicious. We washed it down with a nice chilled bottle of Verdejo. Service was very efficient and friendly, particularly from Ola. Excellent restaurant!

The Waterfront Fishouse Restaurant

Set in idyllic Oban on the North West coast of Scotland, Waterfront Restaurant offers sumptuously fresh fish and seafood in a cutesy boathouse-style setting. Whilst enjoying stunning views over Oban Bay, guests can sample fine local catches, delicious fish classics and an impressive world wine list.

Kilmartin Museum Cafe

Kilmartin Museum Cafe is open every day from 10 - 5 from March to end October and 11 - 4 during November and December. We close from Christmas until the beginning of March each year. The cafe provides lunches, cakes, teas and coffees. Wherever possible, our delicious and wholesome food is prepared on the premises and cooked to order. We cater for special diets on request and there are always vegetarian, vegan and gluten free options on offer. The cafe is on two levels, upstairs in the barn and downstairs in the green oak conservatory with views across Kilmartin Glen. We have wi-fi and daily papers so you can always keep in touch.

Visited Kilmartin Museum recently - the Café is comfortable and has a lovely outlook over Kilmartin Glen. The young staff really do need to be given the opportunity of some training in customer service. It costs nothing to greet customers with a friendly smile and a welcome, rather than a dreary indifference!

Inver Restaurant

Inver is a modern Scottish restaurant with rooms in a stunning location on the shores of Loch Fyne. AA Scottish Restaurant of the Year 2016/17 Sunday Times Top 100 UK Restaurants - Scotland/NI Regional Winner

Reviewed By Steve R - Bath, England, United Kingdom

We reserved a table, based on the reviews on TA and other sites, and arrived at dusk - so didn't get the full benefit of the stunning location. The ethos is a small menu, based on what can be purchased locally/seasonally, and we were both able to find something we liked. Bar choices are limited which is a small -, but our food was well presented and cooked and the staff friendly and attentive. Prices reflect the premium they put on local sourcing, so probably not for everyone.

Coast Restaurant

Reviewed By hmanicolson - Kilchrenan, United Kingdom

We could write a good review every time we visit, probably weekly. It makes the weekly food shopping tolerable whether we lunch before or after. This Thursday lunch was as enjoyable as ever. For me, Richard's Cullen Skink cannot be surpassed and then followed up by mussels to die for. Good healthy eating with a glass of good red wine. You gourmet eaters might not approve but it's red for me! My wife had the Haddock and Chips. A generous portion, I'm glad to say, as I was rewarded with the last bit of fish that madam couldn't finish. As we've mentioned before the staff are so well trained and Nicola has a midas touch when picking staff. We should mention that Nicola is pretty good herself as front of house. It's a must visit if in Oban.

The George

Reviewed By sap3051 - Greenock, United Kingdom

I think they play on the fact this hotel is old as all the rooms decor is ancient and overpriced. Food and drinks choice is excellent but a bit pricey and staff are all well trained to get as much of your money as possible. Hated that in the main bar area all they were interested was keeping reserved for couples coming in at all times of the night meaning if you only wanted a drink and listen to the entertainment standing at the bar is ur only option.

Reviewed By Dalton_Traveller - Dalton, Massachusetts

There are a lot of fish and chips in Oban but the Oban Fish and Chip Shop is the best. We had their basic haddock and chips plate along with a pot of mussels as an appetizer. The food was very fresh, speedily prepared, and excellent to eat! .

The Smiddy Bistro

We are a friendly wee place, meet for proper coffee, homemade cakes and yummy lunches! Lunch served from 12-4. Gluten free and vegan options available as standard.

Reviewed By Bill T - Denny

We had an excellent dinner at the Smiddy on a Friday night. There was a very welcoming atmosphere and although busy, it was still relaxing. The food itself was excellent and very well presented. The staff were very helpful and efficient. There was a real mix of customers from a group of ladies to couples and families. It was a bit of a find in Lochgilphead and to be recommended.
