The best restaurants Oban

Ee-usk has its feet in the water and serves some of the best fish in the region. The dishes are sourced locally, prepared and cooked with talent on the spot, to the delight of gourmets who come here as much for the pleasures of the mouth as for the setting facing the sea: views of Kerrera, Lismore, Mull and Morven, the ferries and fishing boats criss-crossing the bay ... Held by the same family for over 25 years, this restaurant is a true institution, recognized worldwide. Fans of the genre won't regret it.

If you're willing to get lost in the countryside to get out of the center of Oban for a while, the Barn is an authentic inn that cooks great Scottish food and serves some good beers. It is recognized by CAMRA - but not only! It has won several awards over the years and offers products from the nearby Fyne Ales brewery. The carpeting, the stone or panelled walls and the imposing bar create a warm atmosphere. If you're there on a^2nd Sunday of the month, enjoy a traditional roast!

With more than 20 years of presence in Oban, this establishment is still a reference on the local culinary scene. By working with the best products from the West Coast seas, it ensures a superb result on the plate, for tasty and preserved textures. The atmosphere is chic and the presentation neat, with a menu that guarantees an interesting price-quality ratio. Those who wish to do so can also opt for a meat or vegetarian dish.

Relax and trendy, the Cuan Mor is built on a creative decoration combining old stones, parquet floors and panelling, as well as old iron rebar. The strength of this pub is its micro-brewery: Oban Bay Brewery. Its beers are simply excellent and they are tasted with sandwiches, wraps, salads, seafood and other dishes at midday. In the evening, only the main card is available, with burgers, meat, fish or vegetarian options. A good playlist accompanies the experience.

It is one of the most famous and adored fish & chips in the city. On the spot or to take away, you can choose between the unavoidable cod and eaglefins, but also rarer fish such as sole, hake or halibut. Burgers, pizzas, some traditional (haggis, black pudding, steak pie...) and vegetarian dishes are also available. The restaurant's menu is a little more sophisticated and can be enjoyed in a rather sober room.

This restaurant, which opened in 2004, has been appreciated by the inhabitants of Oban as well as tourists and food critics. The decor is modern and uncluttered, and we do everything possible to offer you a good time, in all intimacy. The menu and the plate bring together the best of local and seafood products, combined with the best of Scottish know-how in terms of flavours and creativity. The classics also have their place, revisited or perfectly executed. Menus change regularly to adapt to the seasons.

This tiny little coffee is made with simplicity, and it's perfect just the way it is. A window and a table show you the snacks, cakes, sandwiches and daily specials. Coffee, cold and hot drinks are also on the menu. It's fresh, no fuss, and it's good! You can take a seat in the hall (limited number of places), but the best is to take advantage of the great and beautiful sunshine to sit on the terrace and watch the life of Oban: the boats in the harbour, but also the flow of passers-by, continuous on this small central square.
