Right on Corran Esplanade, The Waterfront Fishouse is one of Oban’s most reliable places for a seafood meal with a view. The menu leans into what the west coast does best — fresh fish, shellfish and simple, well-executed plates — with choices that suit both a relaxed lunch and an easy-going dinner.
The setting is part of the appeal: large windows look out across Oban Bay and the harbour, making it a particularly good stop if you’re arriving from the road and want something that feels unmistakably coastal. Service is friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere stays casual even when the dining room is busy.
For WC300 travellers, it’s an easy win: central, walkable, and unmistakably local in character — ideal as a ‘first night’ meal in Oban or a rewarding stop before heading north on the next leg.
