"We had a very good lunch at Loch Fyne. Oysters, 1/2 lobster, chowder and fish cake, all was very well prepared. The service was good and we would definitely stop here again for lunch."
Did both dine-in lunch and take-away. LUNCH: Had the scallop thermidor as starter, then the lobster. Scallop was nicely seared and cheesy. Lobster came with flavourful garlic butter, although I would have preferred if it were cleaned of all the barnacles. Service was friendly and attentive. TAKE-AWAY: There is a deli section. I bought 2 items: Seafood with rose marie sauce sandwich was only average, very little meat. The smoked haddock quiche was flavourful. As a tourist I could not buy the smoked haddock itself (as that needs a fridge), so the smoked haddock quiche was a good alternative!
I had recently enjoyed fresh oysters outdoors in Oban and was excited to do the same at Loch Fyne. I purchased a takeaway box of 6 oysters with high hopes, but was ultimately disappointed. The oysters were medium in size and had only been shucked, requiring me to use a spoon to detach them from their shells before eating. In contrast, the oysters in Oban were larger and fully prepared for immediate consumption. It appears that I had misunderstood the takeaway option at Loch Fyne.
A real shame this place is so unfriendly to dogs! Only option for dog owners is to sit on very poor picnic benches and to add insult to injury, you can only order from a limited takeout menu. I was looking forward to a bottle of champagne and some fabulous seafood, left having had nothing! £100-150 to spend somewhere that does welcome my dog owner money!
The seafood was spectacular. Everything we ate was delicious, but highly recommend the smoked mussel fishcake with langoustine bisque, any of the oysters, and the scallops. Truly delicious. Also a lovely and pretty reasonably priced wine list. The prices aren’t everyday prices (we came as a special meal on holiday) but would definitely come back!

Visited restaurant last week and had a fish Supper on a plate. Nothing special apart from the price. Whal £20 each for fish and chips. My local fish and chip shop served better. By that I mean, lower price, really excellent taste and tasted brilliant. This we didn't experience at Loch Fyne. Definitely, definitely won't be back.
The restaurant does not have outdoor dining options. They do provide a takeaway service, with food served in polyester boxes that can be eaten at their outdoor tables. The outside area was dirty. We ultimately chose to buy our food from the deli and bring it back to where we were staying to prepare it ourselves.
Fabulous food and great service so nice to get a restaurant which is clean and tidy and well looked after I had scallops and then lobster so perfect made our holiday we went twice and would have gone again but had to go home. The hostess is just the very very best.
Very late lunch (4pm) and the restaurant was quiet. Staff extremely friendly and engaging. The langoustines were excellent as was the fish cake. The cabbage and egg with the fish cake was unusual, but tasty. Well worth a detour if your heading to Dunoon or Bute.

You won't find fresher oysters anywhere else! This restaurant offers an absolutely amazing dining experience with a friendly atmosphere. They also have a great shop for you to explore.
