My partner and I ate at the Seafood Temple in Oban in September. Location is great, slightly out of town but right on the bay. Restaurant is tiny although mirrors along the longer wall enhance the feeling of space. They don't pretend to be fancy cooks but cook the best of the day's catch and serve it simply with tried... more

Believe the reviews, this place is brilliant. The food and service were excellent. I don't think i've ever enjoyed a meal more. We ordered the seafood platter which started with half a dozen oysters. Could we have 3 raw and 3 cooked? - no problem at all. The platter itself included a whole lobster, the sweetest scallops ever, crab claws,... more

We were lucky to get a table for an early dinner sitting. We had the seafood platter and what a meal! The food was superb, the atmsophere was comfortable yet lively, and the service was very attentive without being obtrusive. We would HIGHLY recommend this restaurant and when we get back to this area, we will definitely make advance reservations. more

Simply the best seafood i have ever eaten! We were served by wonderful, friendly and very knowledgeable staff, who told us great stories about the history of the building (public loo haha or as she called it ''the loo with a view'') It was a pleasure to be served by a blonde waitress who actually seemed to genuinely enjoy her... more

We first went here last October on the way to our first stay on Skye. We raved about both so much that our sons wanted to experience both for themselves. After a glorious week in Skye we stayed at the Roseneath B&B and walked from there to 'The Temple'. While the boys tackled a seafood platter including a huge lobster... more

The best seafood I have had in Scotland. We need more places like this, that understands how to treat seafood properly, and not to mess around too much with local fresh, flavoursome produce. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of the place, and enjoyed the cosiness of the small space, we met some really nice diners and it was a double... more

We booked a meal here for our wedding anniversary as we were staying in Oban for just the one night during our trip to Scotland. As we booked quite a few weeks in advance and had to leave a £10 per person deposit I was a little worried as we had no receipt for this transaction, but had no need... more

The rest of the review say it all really. This is THE place to eat lobster, langoustines, scallops or any of the wonderful super fresh fish on offer that day! And at prices far lower than anywhere else in the area. Sounds good? Did I mention that the portions are gargantuan, the winelist basic but decent and very cheap, and... more

My husband and I have waited for ages to get up to Scotland to visit this restaurant having heard about it from several friends and colleagues. What can I say other than the food was just sublime. We decided we need to go back for a long weekend so we can eat our way through the menu! (Hmm, six hour... more

I have recently visited the Seafood Temple in Oban and I have to say that this is the best restaurant I have ever eaten in! Amazing service from start to finish in this very intimate restaurant with amazing views over Oban Bay and the harbour. We were sat down immediately and given a complimentary starter of razor clams and smoked... more
