Restaurant At Loch Melfort Hotel

A great lunch today at Loch Melfort. The view is worth the 30 minute ride south of Oban and the beautiful gardens of Arduaine are next door. Dog friendly, a relaxed space in the bar & lounge and a more structured dining room. Only disappointed that they don't do Sunday Lunch although hopefully it will be back in the Winter when the tourists have returned home. Today we ordered the vegetable & prawn pathia, the pea 🫛 risotto and a bruschetta (although not much flavour in the cheese and peas are an unusual choice yet no tomato 🍅 which was odd). The dessert of Raspberry Cranachan Meringue was really delicious. The service was attentive and our table has been reserved in the window overlooking the loch and out to sea. We spent £78 for 2 (1 x glass of wine and 1 x coke) and with 3 largely vegetarian choices it was at the higher end of what we would normally spend on a nice Sunday lunch (£40 a head compared to £25 for example). Overall we love the views, the food is good (could include a steak easily and make some roasted tatties without much challenge as it's on the a la carte). So we will definitely go back but when we see the posts on Facebook telling us about their rare roast sirloin of beef and Yorkshire Pud).

Amazing food, and such beautiful scenery! The staff were so friendly! Perfect way to end our little get away holiday ❤️

I've stopped here a few times, excellent service, delicious food and a short beach walk with access from the garden. Well worth a visit!

On a perfect day came across the sign for the hotel and viewpoint - they arent joking! The cake and coffee was excellent to.

We happened her completely by chance- sort of ;) we were on a mission to find some Highland Coos before leaving Scotland and we were thrilled to meet their herd! The view from the restaurant was just gorgeous (coos included) and the staff was so friendly and accommodating. I had a salad and admittedly it did feel a bit small for the price, but it was very very good and the coffee was great.
