The Waterfront Seafood Restaurant Oban
The Waterfront Restaurant is located on the upper floor of what used to be the old Fishermen's Mission, with spectacular views over beautiful Oban Bay on the West Coast of Scotland. Watch the comings and goings of the ferries and fishing boats as you eat, and maybe catch sight of a seal in the bay. Facing west, we also have the luxury of views of the sun going down behind the Island of Kerrera.
New Restaurant Menu for Spring 2010! Includes Lunch & Early Evening, and also our Oysters and Scallops selection...
Our restaurant has gained a reputation of serving only the finest fresh food, personally sourced by Alex the head chef. Fresh fish comes straight from the fishing boats into the fishmongers below and up into our kitchen. Crabs come from Mull, oysters from Colonsay (small and creamy), handmade cheese from Inverness, Isle of Mull Glengorm Estate beef (we are the only mainland restaurant to serve this), Argyll lamb and pork, and, in season, game from the local area. Specials every day are dictated by the fish available.
One of the aims behind the restaurant was to create an atmosphere which is stylish, comfortable and well designed yet which still manages to be welcoming and inclusive. A place where you can enjoy good food but where you can happily bring your children. We even have an early evening menu which is ideal for families wanting to eat earlier. We can serve children's portions of our main meals. We also run children's tours - see left for more details!
Wine is an important part of any meal, and we work with Cheviot Wines, part of the Morton Group who are excellent at sourcing our more modern range. Click here for wine list »
