Argyll Bute restaurants with food menus

Knockderry House

➤ Shore Road, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom, G84 0NX

Steak • British • Scottish • European

"During our recent holiday in the Highlands, my partner and I dined at the restaurant located in our hotel. We were pleased with the variety of options available for my pescatarian partner, and ended up indulging in three courses each. I started with a prawn risotto followed by lamb, both of which were delicious. My partner enjoyed a Goat’s Cheese starter and another main course that escapes my memory. We finished our meal with a delightful giant drambuiemisu dessert. The food was all excellent and the service was top-notch, with attentive staff creating a perfect atmosphere for a quiet evening meal. The only minor complaint I had was the limited beer selection, as I prefer cask over the on-tap Belhaven Bitter, but this is just a small detail."

Rumblin Tum, Ardrishaig

➤ Chalmers Street, PA30 8DX, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • British • Scottish

"Was on my wife's list of places to visit even before we'd got to Scotland on our holidays and it's safe to say none of us was left disappointed. The food was amazing, the service was quick and the ladies working there were really pleasant. People saying that the prices are too high; welcome to the present day economics of the country/world. Highly recommended and will be back before we travel home again. Service: Dine in"

The Bonnie Clyde

➤ 29 Gallowgate, PA20 0HR, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Cafe • Steak • Pizza • Grill

"There were three adults, two children, and the staff were extremely friendly. The food was fantastic with a wide range of choices, and the restaurant was open until 10pm. The staff were great with the kids, chatting with them and being very patient when they took a long time to decide on their meal. Overall, the dinner experience was excellent, with a price range of £10-20 per person. The food, service, and atmosphere were all rated a 5 out of 5. There was plenty of parking available, including free street parking options."

Botanica At The Barn

➤ Millcroft, PA21 2BW, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Coffee • Cheese • British • Chocolate

"Very excited to give Botanica at the Barn a try for dinner, and had high hopes for special occasion. Unfortunately when you will charge fine dining prices, you expect a fine dining experience, and it sadly failed on this front. The food and service doesn't deliver a correspondent experience to the price. A langoustine dish had just six scrawny langos on it £21), and beyond this was quite unexceptional. Fat on the lamb chop mains was not rendered down, and served simply with potato £22). Napkins were not replaced after the starter course, and again the service just does not tally with the price point here. The ambiance/ temperature was quite cold for a September evening, and we were particularly displeased at the £4.50 bread choice and oil 2 small slices, very yummy but extortionate). It is a nice try, but is punching above its weight class. Very few locals noted due to the high prices. We left feeling hungry, and that it did not offer value for money in Argyll. Costs have increased, yes, but this was disproportionate pricey for the experience and professional service costs nothing."

Oban Chocolate Company

➤ 34 Corran Esplanade, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom, PA34 5PS

Cafe • Cakes • Scottish • Vegetarian

"#RoadTripJ12 The Oban Chocolate Company is a true chocolate lover's paradise! Their chocolates are simply delicious and there is an incredible variety of sweet treats to take home as a souvenir of Oban. We took a break to taste their desserts, and we were not disappointed! The desserts were divine, as were the ice creams and milkshakes. We're so glad we followed our instincts and listened to our taste buds! The ambiance of the cafe is also very pleasant, and the staff are friendly and welcoming. It's truly a place where you feel good, whether for a little sweet break or to buy gourmet souvenirs to take home."

The Beachcomber

➤ United Kingdom, G84 8SF, Argyll Bute

Cafe • British • Afghani • Scottish

"I have eaten at this restaurant before and had no complaints about the soup. However, during my recent visit, I was disappointed. I sat next to a couple who were not happy with their sandwiches as they were dry and lacked butter. They also mentioned that there was no salad cream available, which was surprising as there is likely a supermarket nearby. One major concern for me was that the restaurant allows dogs, which is fine, but the staff should not be touching them. I witnessed a server petting a dog and not washing her hands before handling customers' food. This is not hygienic and the owners should address this issue. I am unlikely to return as I prefer to eat in a clean and sanitary environment."

The Boathouse

➤ United Kingdom, PA73 6LZ, Argyll Bute

Soup • Coffee • Salads • Seafood

"Had a late lunch at the Boathouse after a walk on the beautiful island of Ulva. Amazing fresh, locally caught langoustines served with focaccia, a very flavoursome mixed salad and dips. Finished the meal with home made amaretto Bakewell tart served with ice cream. The..."

The Waterfront Fishouse

➤ 1 The Railway Pier, PA34 4LW, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Full • Lunch • Drinks • Seafood

"During our visit to Oban, our tour guide suggested Waterfront Fishouse for dinner. We followed their advice and made a reservation for the evening. Although we arrived earlier than planned, the staff was very welcoming and accommodating. We were seated on the second floor, which was a bit crowded and stuffy compared to the more open first floor. While I don't recall the specific dishes we ordered, I do remember enjoying the mussels for my appetizer so much that I could have had a second round for my main course. The seafood was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection, making for a delicious meal. If I find myself in Oban again, I will definitely return to Waterfront Fishouse."

Brechin's On Bridgend Street

➤ 2 Bridgend St, PA20 0HU, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Steak • Salad • Italian • British

"After getting off the ferry, we decided to stop for coffee and ended up at this charming cafe. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and felt comfortable in the cozy atmosphere. The walls were adorned with vintage sheet music posters, adding to the ambiance. I ordered a latte, my partner got a white coffee, and my son tried a refreshing orange mixed drink that he loved. I opted for the lentil soup, which was fresh and delicious. My partner enjoyed a bacon roll, which he raved about. The chocolate fudge brownie my son devoured was homemade and served with homemade vanilla ice cream. He couldn't get enough, saying it was the best ice cream brownie he'd ever had. The owners of the cafe were also incredibly friendly, making our experience even more enjoyable. Thank you for a wonderful visit!"

Food From Argyll At The Pier

➤ Oban Ferry Terminal, PA34 4, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Cafe • Steak • British • Scottish

"Had a lovely lentil soup and a roll filled with hot haggis. Prices quite reasonable and food filling. Good when waiting for a train after disembarking the ferry. Very conveniently sited by the ferry terminal on the way to the train station. Do water refills and will fill reusable coffee cups. Do use vegware if there's no room to eat in and you have/want to take out."

Ben Lora Cafe

➤ Benderloch, PA37 1QW, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cakes • British • Scottish

"Lovely cafe in a convenient location. The outdoor seating is very well sheltered and it's fun watching the cyclist, walkers and day tripping families come and go. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was good. I could have sat there for hours drinking my tea and working through the scone menu (treacle scone tasted great but very crumbly, should have gone for raspberry). Lots of fun little personal touches in the signs and objects dotted around, and a small but varied range of books. It's also convenient for a quick stroll down to the beach."

Rock Cafe

➤ Pier Esplanade, PA23 7, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Cafe • Cakes • British • Scottish

"Stopped in for wee treat after playing crazy golf after my parents stopped in earlier on and was not disappointed with cakes and hot drinks, both children got drink and ice cream. We stopped in towards end of day but did not feel like a nuisance and were going to allow us to sit at the 2 x 2 seat tables before a couple of ladies got up to make way for us after being swiftly sanitised. Reasonably priced and the hot meals being served around us smelled amazing. Decided when popped back into Dunoon later on in week that we would have lunch and so glad we did the chips were main reason for coming back and so glad we did. Will more than likely stop here again if ever in Dunoon."

Magic Wok Chinese Takeaway

➤ 58 West Clyde Street, G84 8AX, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Food • Thai • Chinese • Japanese

"Have been using Magic Wok consistently for a number of years and it has always been really good however, it has recently gone right downhill. Not sure if it's a new chef but we had a couple of bland takeaways in recent weeks but stuck with them. This culminated with last night's offering which was plain terrible. The chicken curry in particular was awful (one of the worst I've ever had). Given that takeaways have become an expensive treat for us lately It's time to move on to somewhere else!"

Java Walk Coffee Shop

➤ Pier Buildings, Marine Parade, PA23 8HE, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Food • Store • Coffee • British

"I returned to the counter and explained to the woman who was serving—who I later learned was the owner—that my order was incorrect. She insisted that the drinks were right and even showed me a coffee chart to justify her stance. Despite her training, I couldn't see any foam on the drinks unless it was incredibly subtle. After some reluctance, she began to prepare new ones, but her attitude and rudeness became too much for me, and I ultimately requested a refund instead. I remained polite throughout the exchange, but as I was leaving, she sarcastically told me to enjoy, clearly not in a friendly manner, but rather to escalate the situation. As a local, I won’t be returning to Java, which is disappointing because the location is great. If you're looking for good coffee and decent service, I recommend Coast Coffee at the other end of the promenade or The Salty Bean in Sandbank, across from the Western ferries. You might even find better coffee and service from the Costa coffee machine at the petrol station."

The Tayvallich Inn

➤ Tayvallich, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Pub • Fish • Steak • Seafood

"We stayed at the caravan site next door and specifically came up for the night to dine at this restaurant, as we had done so in the summer. We were not disappointed. I had tempura mushrooms and aioli, while my husband had haggis, potato, and turnip in a whisky sauce, which he said was lovely. My starter was delicious. He enjoyed the burger, and I had the lamb curry with perfectly cooked rice, homemade flatbread, and pickle side. It was the best lamb curry I have ever eaten. We also enjoyed a lovely Chardonnay with our meal. The staff and service were excellent, and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was lovely, but we may try the bar next time as it appeared to have a slightly more relaxed vibe."

The Oystercatcher

➤ The Oyster Catcher Loch Fyne, PA21 2DH, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Food • Cheese • British • Seafood

"I booked for the pizza’s on a Sunday 2 weeks in advance. (As advised by the bothy owners where we were staying next door) When we arrived they didn’t have our booking. I even showed them my phone with evidence of me calling them to make the booking. They said there was nothing they could do and were aware that it would be hard to get anywhere else (we couldn’t book another restaurant). We had to travel to Dunoon (45mins there and back to get something to eat as all shops closed early on a Sunday) this completely ruined our stay as is was dark by the time we had our tea and couldn’t our time on enjoy the loch . I know mistakes happen but they just didn’t seem to care. You are supposed to order in advance on Sundays. We did. We were left stranded with no food for my young family. They just didn’t care. Thanks for ruining our stay (that was sarcastic , as no doubt your response will be below)"

The Holy Loch Inn

➤ United Kingdom, Argyll Bute

Pub • Steak • British • Scottish

"Lovely little pub just out of the holy loch marina, the interior was warm and homely, a sight for wind battered eyes. A good selection of beer including locally brewed Fyne Ales, not to mention a great selection of West coast whisky. Speaking to the owners was a wholesome end to our night at the Inn, we talked sea faring vessels and DIY fish smoking. I will be back :"

Aulay's

➤ 8 Airds Crescent, PA34 5SQ, Argyll Bute, United Kingdom

Pub • Wine • Coffee • British

"Sadly because of Covid this place was closed last year when we holidayed in Oban. This year it happily was open. We had, as usual only stopped in for a drink because it is one of our go to places whilst in Oban for a quick drink whilst walking along the main street, but what we did notice was that they now do pub lunches. We had already had something to eat that day, but the menu looked excellent and very good value so I can guarantee that the next time we are in Oban we will most certainly have our lunch here."
