I absolutely love the restaurant. A visit to Benderloch is not complete without a visit to Hawthorn Restaurant. Food is outstanding, home cooke, sorry, no pictures, never quick enough! Favourite is the black pudding bon bons when on special. Hosts are friendly and always have time for a chat. Family tradition, last night stay dinner is always at the Hawthorn.

I went to the restaurant with a family of six adults and everyone agreed this was an exceptional experience. The food could not be faulted and the hostess was brilliant at making everyone feel at home. The angel fish was to die for and the apple crumble was delicious. We will be back on our next trip to Tralee Bay.

So good we went twice in our weeks stay in Oban. Not the largest menu but some interesting dishes along with some classics. Really friendly and un-rushed. Tenderest gammon I have evere eaten. The quality of the food is to die for. You will not be disappointed.

Popped into this wee place as recommended by our hostess and it’s was top notch welcomed by the lovely staff ( got to say that because she 6’2 ) ha ha just joking we got treated well and spoiled for choice. The food was all home made and excellent portions starter was spicy chicken wings then struggled with main course chicken haggis mash stack with peppercorns sauce was Amazing then had to top it off with Arran ice cream my colleague had the special fish cake , steak pie finished of with fudge cake n ice cream food was superb as was service and good banter

Uno dei peggiori ristoranti mai visitato , che fra il resto si fregia come finalista miglior ristorante in Scozia 2018, nella locandina. Cibo industriale, di bassa qualità, vino servito in bottiglie con tappo a vite, maccheroni al formaggio che hanno l’aria di esser fatti in scatola. Finora il peggior ristoratore visitato in Scozia e dire che siamo stati in locali più economici ma certamente più dignitosi. Speso 14-15 £ a testa, due antipasti, quattro primi e normali bevande. Agosto 2018

Tea On The BeachBritish

We were fortunate enough to have a beautiful sunny day to make the journey to Tea on the Beach, which itself was glorious. When we arrived 4 stags were grazing beside the little horsebox and it couldn't have been more idyllic. We sampled the self-service tea, coffee and hot chocolate, and a slice of each of the available cakes, while sitting enjoying the amazing scenery. All cakes and drinks were absolutely delicious, can't believe there was even caffetiere coffee! We left payment in the honesty box, and tried to squeeze visitor comments in the already very full visitor book. I can't believe this is run by children, very well done, what an enterprise.

Hooray open again! It is a complete treat to be able to eat out again and even more so at one of my favourite restaurants Am Birlinn. Simply the three courses were excellent , mussels , world class oysters, succulent slow roast pork shoulder and an espresso panacotta with roasted plums to finish. Yummm! Great chefs, friendly and professional front of house . They have not skipped a beat. Will be back next week.
