Known as the ‘Seafood Capital of Scotland’, Oban and the surrounding area is home to some of the best seafood restaurants in Scotland – one of which is our sister restaurant, The Waterfront Fishouse Restaurant. As well as their a la carte menu, they also offer a special 2 course menu at lunch and early evening (please see times on their website) for just £11.95 per person. Situated right by the sea on the South Pier, we guarantee you will be in for a feast with the freshest catch available.

Book a table at The Waterfront Fishouse prior to arrival by visiting their website and booking online .

For those not so keen on seafood, or if you are simply looking for great gastro food at affordable prices, our other sister restaurant, Cuan Mor, will provide just that. Cuan Mor is loved by locals and tourists alike for the rustic, friendly atmosphere it creates and great hearty food it offers – something for everyone. Please note, advance bookings are only taken for parties of 5 or more, however there is a lovely bar, designed by Ranald McColl, to enjoy a drink prior to being shown to your table by their friendly staff.

Perhaps you’re looking for a quiet night in or a cosy place to go for a drink with friends – look no further than our very own The Ranald Hotel Bar (also our breakfast room in the morning). With the lights dim, the candles on and some light music in the background, it’s the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine or a dram.

Please contact the individual restaurants if you have any allergies or intolerances and they will do their best to accommodate your request.
