A smoked salmon sandwich, four oysters (on the half shell of course) and an order of mussels Add a coke, and it was under £20. That's a bargain. Especially with how many mussels you get! The mussels are done in butter, white wine and garlic. How is that wrong? (It ain't!). The oysters on the half shell come with lemon and there is Tabasco on the table. All you need right there. Perfect lunch. Freshest of fresh seafood. One. Annie do wrong eating here. The is a monster selection too. Lobster, crab, langoustines, squid and on and on. All fantastic!

We got a plate of scallops (they were huge!) and a crab meat sandwich. I was disappointed in the crab meat sandwich - as it seemed to be minced really fine - hardly any flavor. Also, it was cash only, so we had to walk to the ATM. Not too far, though. It's a stand up and eat place - though there is one huge table if you're lucky.

The restaurant recommends you make reservations, as it is a very small space, so I wasn't hopeful but luckily it wasn't busy and there were a few tables available. Service was lovely, so friendly and hospitable. We loved hearing our server talk with the locals about their day and all that. Felt really homey and I appreciated that. The food was delicious, presented well and came out super fast. We did not have to wait very long for our breakfast at all. My tea was excellent, I think it was a sea chai or something like that. Super unique and I wish I would have gotten some satchels to take home with me. The coffee is also excellent here.

Back to Oban! We walked on in to Cuan Mor for dinner (no reservations after 4,:00, unless it's for…read moresix or more). Told it's gonna be an hour. It was about 35 minutes. Doable. We just had items from the starter menu. I had the seafood chowder and onion rings. My goodness that chowder! Thick. Creamy. Mussels in the shell. Fish. Potato. Perfect seasoning. That was one great bowl! Onion rings? We've all had lousy ones. These were anything but that! Crisp. Not greasy. Done perfectly! My wife got the salmon pate. More of a smoked salmon spread. Delicious. Menu says horseradish is on the mix. Nether of us tasted it. Not a complaint at all. This was a great spread. She also got the soup of the day, tomato-basil. Luxuriously thick and smooth. Plenty of both tomato and basil flavor. It also has a slight spicy kick to it, which was really nice. Loud and busy place. Service a bit slow. We would come back tho.

Other than the tour they do offer a nice sit down bar where you can enjoy a dram and relax. There is also a little retail space with some nice gifts and other whiskies besides Oban. I had never had the pleasure of trying Oban whisky and after three other tours before this one it still stands out and was a favorite of mine. The whiskies were smooth, and had some of my favorite tasting notes. Make sure to have this be a stop when your in Oban

They also give you the shot glass you drank your whiskey out of. You get a discount at their shop and we bought some whiskey. The only reason I'm giving this 4 stars is that their website kind of mentions that the tour is disability friendly, when it is not. There are stairs up and down. But they were very good about giving me a last minute refund for the tickets we couldn't use.

They were breaded and I much prefer batter-fried fish. I had never had breaded fish in the U.K. before. The fish was also smaller than others I've had and the fries were quite soggy. I suspect that this was all frozen. This was my first mediocre fish and chips meal that I had since arriving in the U.K. 3 weeks ago. It didn't really fill us up but it was satisfying enough until the next day. Seating is outdoor only and it's in a nice location to watch the world go by. It's also pretty touristy. I really won't recommend this for any meal unless you're exhausted and don't care what your food tastes like. Oban has so many options for good seafood so take the time and go elsewhere.

In this area there is no shortage of cafe's dotted around the town, this one stood out with the red exterior and probably one of the healthier places to go. Seemed a nice enough place inside, if you are early enough you can grab something to eat of the breakfast menu that is served until 12 noon. Lunch menu is pretty simple with the usual sandwiches, panini's, salads & filled jacket potatoes, I went for the healthier option and went for the egg mayonnaise filled jacket potato with a coffee, pretty good value at £7.50. Great views over the bay from the dining area, would definitely come back & visit again.

Except I walked over there and found nothing, just open waterfront. Whoops. Fortunately, I walked right past this other open restaurant that also had fish & chips at a reasonable price, and more importantly, HAGGIS! I can tell you now, they should rename to Fish, Chips, and Haggis. Because this fried haggis sausage is da bomb. I think when they named that one sandwich "da bomb", they were wrong. It's this. Delicious haggis, perfectly deep fried, just the right amount of breading. Classic, timeless, Scotland. The dinner includes plenty of chips, light fried, not dripping with oil - some of the best I've ever had. So get that, not the single. In the end, the only downside is it's takeout-only. No room inside. Great service, great selection, great food. Do stop in when you come to Oban to head out to the wonderful North West isles. (Do all of this. Trust me. It's wonderful here.)
