Seafood on the croft and the pier.

Eating out in Argyll is about the sea and the croft. Book a celebrated restaurant with rooms on the shore of Loch Fyne, a croft restaurant near Fionnphort on Mull, or a seafood restaurant by the jetty on Ulva. On Oban's piers you'll find fish restaurants side by side, and in Glencoe a walkers' inn by the fire. Many places are small and seasonal. Book ahead, especially in summer.

Croft 3, a restaurant at Fanmore on the Isle of Mull, stands in a building that Jeanette, who runs it with Jack, restored from complete ruin.

The photographer Shelley Richmond, who lives on Mull, calls it her favourite place to eat on the island. The room is elegantly simple, with giant windows framing the view across to Ben More. 'The food is the only thing better than the space itself'. There is always a delicious and inspiring vegan option, she adds. Her ideal Sunday includes lunch at Croft 3, gazing out at Ben More. Lucy's garden at Lip na Cloiche, at Ballygown nearby, is open to the public and makes a beautiful wander after lunch.

Jeanette Cutlack walked past a ruined croft on the Isle of Mull every day for years before she turned it into Croft 3, a restaurant that has won an RIAS architecture award.

Jeanette moved to Mull from Brighton in 2008 and spent the next ten years running a restaurant in her rented farmhouse, but her dream was to restore the rundown croft she passed each day. In 2019 the 50-acre croft finally became hers. With an old university friend, the architect Edward Farleigh-Dastmalchi, she turned the basalt and lime ruin into a pared-back dining room that soars up to the rafters, with deep windows framing the sea and the mountains. Guests sit at communal tables made from a single Douglas fir, and the plan is to keep clearing the land and grow much of the food on the croft.
