When visiting Oban, one of the highlights of any trip is indulging in the town’s incredible seafood scene. As the Seafood Capital of Scotland, Oban is home to some of the freshest and most flavourful catches in the country, with restaurants serving everything from hand-dived scallops to succulent langoustines. One establishment that truly stands out is Ee-Usk, a renowned seafood restaurant located on Oban’s North Pier, offering diners an unforgettable waterfront dining experience.


At Oban Holiday Lets, we love showcasing the very best of Oban, and Ee-Usk is a must-visit for any guest staying in one of our holiday cottages or self-catering accommodations. Whether you’re planning a romantic getaway, a family trip, or a foodie weekend, this restaurant is an essential stop. Read on to discover why Ee-Usk is widely considered one of the best Oban restaurants and how you can make the most of your visit.


Why Ee-Usk is a Must-Visit in Oban

Fresh, Locally Sourced Scottish Seafood


Oban’s location on Scotland’s west coast makes it the perfect spot for fresh seafood, and Ee-Usk takes full advantage of this. The restaurant sources its ingredients directly from local fishermen and seafood suppliers, ensuring that every dish is prepared with the freshest catches from Scottish waters.


On the menu, you’ll find succulent langoustines, hand-dived scallops, mussels, lobster, and oysters, all served with care and attention to detail. For those who love shellfish, the Grand Platter is an absolute must-try, featuring a selection of Oban’s best seafood, prepared to perfection.


If you prefer a hot seafood dish, Ee-Usk also offers expertly cooked monkfish, halibut, and sea bass, all presented with simple yet delicious accompaniments that let the natural flavours shine. This focus on quality, freshness, and sustainability is what sets Ee-Usk apart and makes it a staple of Oban’s dining scene.


Signature Dishes & Dining Experience


For a true taste of Scotland, the restaurant’s beer-battered haddock and chips is a classic choice, made using the freshest locally caught fish. Their creamy seafood chowder is also a customer favourite, packed with rich flavours and the finest ingredients.


Pair your meal with a selection from their handpicked wine list, designed to complement the fresh seafood dishes perfectly. Whether you opt for a crisp Sauvignon Blanc to enhance the delicate taste of oysters or a full-bodied Chardonnay for a lobster dish, the expert team at Ee-Usk will ensure you get the best pairing.


And of course, no meal is complete without dessert! Ee-Usk offers a decadent selection of homemade treats, including Scottish cranachan, rich chocolate fondant, and creamy cheesecakes—perfect for rounding off an indulgent dining experience.


A Stunning Waterfront Setting


One of the things that makes Ee-Usk truly special is its location on Oban’s North Pier. The restaurant’s floor-to-ceiling windows provide panoramic views across Oban Bay, offering diners an unforgettable backdrop while they enjoy their meal. Watching the sunset over the harbour while enjoying a seafood feast is an experience that truly captures the magic of Oban.


Whether you’re looking for a romantic setting for a special occasion, a memorable meal with friends, or simply an opportunity to enjoy the best Oban seafood with a spectacular view, Ee-Usk delivers on all fronts.


Why Stay in an Oban Holiday Let Instead of a Hotel?


When visiting Oban, choosing the right Oban accommodation is key to making the most of your stay. While Oban hotels offer a traditional option, self-catering accommodation provides greater flexibility, privacy, and a more personalised experience. At Oban Holiday Lets, we offer a range of properties that allow you to fully immerse yourself in the town’s charm while enjoying all the comforts of home.

Advantages of an Oban Holiday Let Over a Hotel:

✔ Ideal for Families & Groups – Our properties provide multiple bedrooms and living areas, perfect for families or friends travelling together.
