Martyrs Bay Restaurant And Bar

We were on a tour and after climbing Dun, we had a bit of time before the ferry headed back to Mull. We stopped in and shared an order of mussels (caught fresh that day) and a draft beer that was delicious. We are looking forward to returning and getting multiple orders of mussels!

This restaurant is right at the end of the ferry slipway so was very busy on both occasions we visited. There are gluten free snacks and cakes but these are pre packed and not home made. The views from the windows are beautiful. The restaurant is clean and pleasant and staff friendly and welcoming.

It is a fairly large restaurant with a bar, that is situated next to the ferry jetty on Iona. On a sunny day is offers a lovely view onto the Isle of Mull opposite. Having seen all that was there to see on Iona we went there for a late lunch and ordered deliciously fresh mussels with some wine. What a perfect way to end the day! Voir le carte

Had the fresh mussels that never made it to the mainland. Harvested same day and were fresh and tender as could be. Ate outside with a view of the islands and ocean. Don't go right away when a ferry or a boat docks as the line can be long and tough to find sitting. If you wait 30 minutes and explore the Island, It will work well for you

During a tour of the the Inner Hebrides we went here for lunch. The place is sectioned into a cafe type restaurant area, a lounge area and a bar all with fantastic views of the bay. We ordered at the restaurant and ate our meals in the bar with drinks. The place has a great atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff and the food was great. I would definitely return should I do the tour again.

Ok, so the food was ok at lunchtime, though nothing spectacular. The woman who served us in the restaurant was lovely and very polite and helpful I would give her five stars. Later in the day, we went back for a couple of drinks. The restaurant was shut but the bar was open, so I nipped in to grab a couple of cans to take down to the beach with our picnic. The server was friendly enough but he was talking to a man at the bar who was smoking a roll up cigarette. Now, sorry, but it's 2024, not 1974. Smoking isn't allowed in bars, so why on earth didn't the barman tell him to put it out or go outside? Thankfully I wasn't planning on sitting in but, come on Martyr's Bay, that's a pretty poor ima... Voir le carte

We were on a short trip to Iona with 3 hours ashore. So we decided to have a quick lunch in the Martyrs Bay cafe. It is to the left of the ferry jetty and quickly fills up. We found lots of seating in the far dining area, and had a great view over the sea. The meals are self service, with hot meals served by very friendly ladies. I was mistakenly overcharged, without me even realising. The lady came all round the restaurant to find me, to apologise and return my money. Really honest.The snacks were hot and cold options and were fine for us. Others had the recommended mussels and they seemed very happy. We went back for cups of tea before catching the ferry, and sat out on the picnic benches....

We were on Iona recently after being dropped off by Staffa Tours for an hour. The weather was horrendous with heavy rain and wind so we were looking forward to refreshments in this establishment.We have three medium sized, well behaved, dogs and we were not allowed inside the door. Our solution was to go to the pub next door but, again, told they do not allow dogs.Luckily, the gift shop opposite was extremely dog friendly so managed to shelter from the rain for a few minutes.Our only other place of shelter was the National Trust of Scotland’s cabin near the harbour.We travel everywhere with our dogs and 95% of pubs and cafes allow them in. It was a bitter disappointment to turned away from M...

When it comes to a bar with a view there is nowhere and I mean NOWHERE to compare. When the weather is kind (as it was last week) you can sit outside at the water's edge and when it's not so kind, the bar has panoramic windows that allow you to gaze across the Sound of Iona. Sightings of dolphins and seals are commonplace. A steady flow of visitors wishing to enjoy a drink before catching the ferry back to Ffionnphort mixes with a few local folk to create a friendly and relaxing atmosphere. The choice of beer on tap is good and the selection of whisky is impressive. We've been many times before but this visit is tinged with real sadness as, by the time this review was submitted, the bar has... Voir le carte
